    Which do you have? At the moment I don't have any of them. However, I'm trying to decide which is the best for me and the bang for my money.

    Any guros of the Eworld know? If so, post. There are probably more than just me that want to know!

    Mom has a Kindle. She loves it. She says there are some free books to download. And we give her gift cards to get more. But, she reads more than I do.

    I'm not too advanced on the tech age much. Other than I know the costs. Mostly teacher classroom products they are using now. Everywhere I look someone has an ipad. It's just about advanced the texting trend.

    I still can't get over going to a meeting and someone either has an ipad they are pecking on or their phones. In a meeting! I don't even take my phone into a business meeting. I leave it in my car. Just seems rude to me. No one is looking or seems to be paying attention to the speaker. Crazy stuff.

    I think it really depends on what you want to do with it. If its only for reading, I have heard very good things about the regular kindle. You can also "share" books by checking them out with other readers at amazon. The battery life of these are very good. They last for weeks because there isn't alot of extra stuff and color and etc.

    Thank you Johnny. So the regular Kindle is better than Kindle Fire?

    It really depends on if you only want to use it to read books. If that is the only thing, the regular kindle was built specifically for that, and its better and cheaper. But if you want to read books, and get on the internet, stream video, etc. The kindle fire will do that as well. But then the battery life is worst and its not as nice to read.

    Don't you mean an iPad 3? Or has someone bought you an older model?

    Despite not being a big Apple fan, I do have an iPad 2. It's very slick because it is such a totally standardised piece of hardware.

    If LA is likely to be reading her book outdoors or in a bright area, then maybe the Kindle is the best option, since it is very visible in sunlight.

    If you search about on the 'net, there are plenty of free book files available for reading.

    If you want something to just read books, thats it. KINDLE. The screen is made to be like reading a paper page. Very cool. Easy to read in bright light and all. If you want something that does a lot of things, internet, email, games, etc. Go with the iPad. The kindle fire is, IMO, trying to be like an ipad to begin with. So it just depends on what ya see yourself doing with it.

    That's what they keep telling me if I just want to use it for reading to just stick with regular Kindle. And thanks about telling me which one to use outdoors! Yep, I do read outside sometimes.

    Thanks guys!
