Kindle Paperwhite vs. Kindle Fire HD - help!
So last week I ordered a Kindle Paperwhite to replace my older Kindle Keyboard, and it should be here today. Last night, I saw that all Kindle Fires are $30 off through tomorrow and I'm wondering if I should get that instead. It's actually cheaper with the discount, and more versatile, but I liked the fact that the Paperwhite was a dedicated eeader.
Pros of the Paperwhite:
-Dedicated eeader: I won't get distracted by other stuff like I might on the Kindle Fire.
-I can hand my Kindle Keyboard over to DS for his use.
-E-ink, easy on the eyes.
Cons of the Paperwhite:
-More expensive
-Less verstaile
Pros of the Kindle Fire:
-Can read all kinds of e-books (epub, etc.) - not just Kindle versions. Our local library has two e-book libraries and I have a hard time getting good books for Kindle because there's so much demand, but there are a ton of books available in the ePub format.
-Could read children's books on it, too.
-Easier to use in the kitchen with recipes & cookbooks
Cons of the Kindle Fire:
-Kids will want to use it. It's another "screen." (I don't consider the Paperwhite a "screen."
-I'll get distracted by other stuff.
-I already have a smartphone and laptop; do I need a tablet?!?
Thoughts?!?!?
