before getting an PW4 a few months ago, i used a Kindle Fire 7" (rooted with ebook reader apps). All i can say is.. if you really want to read on it for longer Periods.. don't get one.

my experience with it:

- after 1 to 2 hours of reading, my eyes started to hurt and i got really tired as hell

- battery only lasted around 3-4 hours since the display etc. takes a lot of energy

- it was heavy. holding it for longer periods is really annoying because of this.. especially in bed.

- after 1 year or so the kindle fire starts to get "glitchy". my family (sister, dad, mom, me) have all a kindle fire 7" and they all had the same issues after around 1 to 2 years. it tells you suddenly that your memory is full even if you have almost no apps installed and no files on it.. you can't clean the memory and it even if you remove all things, it still stays at around 80-90% full memory. also it gets SLOW as hell. it can take 20-30 seconds to open apps sometimes, and then it takes ages to navigate inside apps. videos on youtube etc. buffer like hell so you can't really do anything good on it anymore.

- the brightness isn't really good for reading in the dark. even if you put the slider for the brightness to 0, it's still too bright.. it's really annoying. and if there is someone else with you in the room, he will not be able to sleep.

if you maybe get a kindle fire for 30-40€ and only want to use it for reading webcomics and manga.. it's "okay".. but for reading normal books or for longer reading session.. i wouldn't recommend it. far away from it.

i really would rather recommend to get a normal Kindle with e-ink display for reading. even mangas as an example are looking really great on a paperwhite.
