BIG Kindle=BIG Entertainment
Having experienced the smaller versions and been quite satisfied, I wanted to try the larger screen for movie watching and Hidden Object games. This Kindle delivered that and more. Inititially I wasn't sure I wanted a Kindle because I want to keep printed books around for a long time. My daughter gave me a 7 HD for Christmas several years ago and I fell under it's spell immediately. Because I was having many doctor's appointments and tests, my BFF gave me the small 6 HD last year for Christmas and it was very convenient to take and go most places. Now I have the 8.9 HD and have a Kindle for every occasion when friends aren't borrowing one or the other. I have a terrific daughter and BFFand love them dearly for bringing the Kindle experience into my life. Whatever size you might decide on, each offers more than just reading. You can play games, shop, read e-mail, access social media, take pictures and send those pictures, skype with friends, listen to music, watch tv or movies. .they are Android platforms so thousands of apps will work on them. Plus you have ample storage in your Cloud for all those books you want to read, movies, magazines, albums, games and apps. Just keep what you want to access at the moment on the device and swap items in and out of your Cloud and never worry about not having enough space. One advantage to have more than one Kindle is that one is always charged up and ready to go when you are. All of mine are Wi-Fi only because I don't want to pay another monthly fee for 4G but to each his own.
