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.Read full review

First off these Kindles have just incredible screens, sharp and vibrant they are even superior to the excellent IPad screens! They also blow away IPads in the sound department. Clear and fairly loud (as far as tablets go) with great stereo separation. However it has some big weaknesses as well. The internet, for some reason it seems to have a difficult time to sign on to wi-fi. It sees the spots but just seems to be unable to connect. Also not only is the internet slow but it slows down the machine as well. I wish they had put as much work into the software as they did the hardware, it’s a crime to see a beautiful machine like this hobbled. You are also limited to the Kindle universe but for most people that won’t be a problem. If it is you can always jailbreak it. Despite the problems you still get a lot of value for your money so I recommend it!Read full review

I bought the 8.9" HD Kindle, after having owned a first Kindle Fire for over a year. I was thinking it could be a substitute for a laptop. I was wrong, it is just like the smaller kindle, but not "purse size" Yes, it is bigger, but not that much, as the border around the screen is an inch wide. I bough a small bluetooth keyboard, and it works like a phone keyboard, but for someone like me who does not text frequently, the words often came up incomplete and if I made a typing error I would have to take time to edit. So now I basically have two reading devices,and I take the smaller one when I am going out. The bigger one works great, and I can get the same books I purchased on both at the same time, but I wish I had put the money on a laptop instead.
The Kindle Fire HD is like having your own library in your hands. What took me years & a lot of time & money to assemble in hard copy was largely recreated in a few days on Kindle. Additionally, you can highlight text & share it on Social Media, a big plus. You can store PDF's as well, images, and even games. With Wi-Fi & 4G capability, it's like having a small computer in your hands. An amazing value!

GREAT, I am not a book reader, I bought this after seeing the picture quality on the one that I bought for my wife. It looks incredible, I surf the net, play games, and watch video on it. While its true that the Kindle has no micro SD card slot the 32 Gb holds a lot and if you need more it offers you Google cloud drive so there is no problem with storage space. The battery lasts a long time, much longer then my old tablet, it transfers files easily from my computer and is probably the most user friendly tablet that I have had and it is very fast.
