I love mine, but I mainly only read on it at night, but it is just fine for my daytime reading too and not too bad for direct sunlight if I put the brightness to max and have black writing on white “paper”

I mainly read at night too, I like white writing on black

Rosemary

I have the Fire and also Paperwhite. I like reading on the Paperwhite better.

Melinda

I have one but read in it but after awhile it would bother my eyes that’s probably why I could never get into ebooks just splurged and for a paper white and love it.

Alma

I love mine!

Janet

Have one, love it.

Mary

I prefer the Paperwhite – you can read outdoors!

Helen

The Fire is great if you want an all purpose tablet type device. But if you just want a reader, I’d go with the paper white. The Paperwhite is easier on my eyes, is lighter to carry around (not that the fire is heavy) and you can read outdoors.

Kurtis

I have had mine for 4 years. Love, love, love it.

Sherron

I live on mine, 4 years now

Morgan

If you are planning to use it for reading you need to take the battery life in to consideration.

Ashlee

If you’re wanting to read only, I would advise Paperwhite.

Emma

I think the paperwhite is better

Tammi

Love my fire, and I turned it to dark background with white letters, seems to have less strain on my eyes, lower blue light to keep me awake. I also check emails, have watched a few movies, downloaded music and a couple of games.

Brenda

I have a Kindle Fire and love it. I may have to get a Paperwhite too now though. lol

Ruby

Love all 4 of mine

Alison

Always on mine and love it

Linda

Love mine.

Debra

Love mine!

Siobhán

On my second. Love mine.

Kerre

I got the Kindle Oasis as a birthday gift and couldn’t love it more ?❤️?

Patrice

I have a fire, but I would definitely recommend the paperwhite

Sinead

I have the paperwhite and the fire and I prefer the paperwhite x

Pam

If it is strictly for reading, I’d choose a paperwhite. If you also need a tablet, then a Kindle Fire is a good economical choice

Jeanette

I love mine, I’ve had mine for about 3-4 years and couldn’t be without it

Debbie

Love mine also , but still love to hold my books and the smell of books , lol ?

Carolyn

Kindle paperwhite is the best

Deborah

I like the fire … functions like a tablet with WiFi. I love the latest one that came out October 2017.

Ariannah

I find dedicated e-readers to be better than tablets. Better battery life, and easier on the eyes (specialized technology). It depends what your needs and preferences are, as always. Since I have tablets all over the house, there’s no need for the fire.

Pinky

I have two first generation and a new one love them both

Brittany

I have the 10 inch Kindle fire and I love it

Shannon

I have had my 2 years and love it

Marissa

I have a Kindle Fire HD I’ve had it for about 6 years now. Its good.

Gina

I feel the same way… and if I want to listen to a book while I’m cooking or doing laundry, I just have the computer voice read it to me. It took some getting used to, but I can’t afford to pay for Audible. ?

Clarise

I love mine. I got it so i can also use audible. I dobt know if the paperwhite can get audible if you are wanting audio books

Melinda

When I got the paper white I also decided to use my fire for audible books

Carrie-LynnQuestion author

Don’t really do audio, just need a good tablet/reader

Casey

I just have a Kindle. And I love it! When my eyes get tired, it reads to me!

Susan

I have a Fire and I like it but also have a paperwhite that I love. The paperwhite is strictly for reading

Jennifer

Don’t get just the fire make sure it’s fire hd.

I love my kindle fire HD!

Jennifer

If you get the right screen protector and adjust the background color according to the lighting any Amazon e readers are good and they back up their devices pretty good.

Amy

I have a kindle fire but use it more as a tablet I read off my paperwhite as its glare free so I don’t get a headache ?

Darla

Love mine!

Rebecca

I’ve had mine 4.5 years and I love it

Matthew

It depends really on what you want it for, if your going to use it as a tablet then yes its great although you are locked into the amazon system and not all apps are available like through the play store! If you want it specifically for reading then I would recommend a Paperwhite instead as the fire isn’t designed specifically for reading whereas the Paperwhite is!

Averil

I love my kindle fire. It’s absolutely fabulous! ?

Isobel

Love my Fire.

Angelica

I had a fire and a paperwhite. Fire is good if you also want audio books. I was too tempted to put apps on there
