A month ago I would of said my sink kindle 3, but after a week now with my fire, I'm actually finding myself using it 100% of the time, and I shut down my kindle 3 and am thinking of sending it to my mom.

My own order of preference: iPad, Fire, then Kindle. Though I rarely even pick up the Fire, not even sure why I bought it...

I prefer my Kindle Touch for almost all my reading. Occasionally, at night I'll use my Fire because I don't especially like the angle of the light on the 'lighted book cover' when I'm lying down.
I almost never use my iPad to read. (I know that's not part of the poll, but some have weighed in, so...)

My answer is both.... I read most of my books on my kk but I like to read the books with pictures on my fire... because it has color. and I also like my recipe books on my fire. just because I don't want my kk in the kitchen. I have a stand for my fire and it is not sitting right on the counter.

Hands down, the kindle. I am one of those folks who can't sleep if they stare at a screen before bed. There is actually software to modify the blue light levels on Ipad/mac for this very reason. Nothing yet for the Fire that I am aware.

I read on my KK and I keep my school notes on my fire (a lot of images and highlights). My fire is used for anything other than reading. I use it for school to lightened on load and reduced my printing.

Just click "view results" above. Um, originally it was worded differently and I couldnt vote...therefore couldnt see the results (unless I wanted to mess up the results). But it's been changed, thanks! |

For just reading, it's gotta be a regular Kindle. The screen makes such a difference, because I can read on it forever and it never bothers my eyes.

I have a Kindle two, a wifi with specials and the fire. I read on all three but actually perfer the fire. I think it is easier on the fire than the other two.

I think the poll's results will be quite obvious - hence the marketing of the Kindle as an "e-READer" and the Fire as a "media device"... I wonder how many of the Fire's buyers are actually using their devices for reading - or at least what % of their usage of the Fire is for reading... that could be a secondary/follow up poll question...
I probably split my reading up pretty evenly between my Fire and my eInk Kindle - reading in bed is the Fire for sure, and reading in low light I tend to reach for the Fire now instead of eInk and a book light. When there's good light or I'm outside, or I know I'll be reading for a good long while, I'll use eInk. But I've been surprised at how much I use the Fire for reading - I'd expected I'd only use it for reading in bed, but that hasn't been the case. |
