OK. we know it's not a high end, super expensive, gadget.
It's cheap.
It is NOT stereo sound
It works.
Setup was a breeze.
The "denim" color, made this old hippie smile, but am getting a composition book style case to hide it...
Test ran videos...at 70% charge and it lasted 8ish hours. 4 hours to recharge.
It will keep you amused in the doctor's' office, or in the garage waiting for your tires to be rotated.
I bought this solely because I wanted to see how the Fire 7 compares to my BELOVED HDX7 of years gone by. No comparison. The HDX 7 was the VERY BEST of the whole shebang, and I still own and use (blush) several of them. Stereo sound still is excellent, picture, etc....please bring it back. sigh....
This little baby will, however, be thrown in my purse for the little annoyances of life stated above. Much prefer to lose this, than the iPhone or iPad. My books, access to my music, news, videos and the time will fly. I sprung for the 32 gig..and can't see a reason to expand. And when I leave it laying ...no huge loss.
Best thing about it...size. It fits my small hands, it fits in purse, or jeans/cargo pants/jacket pocket. The library...worth its weight in gold. I have a lot of cookbooks, gardening books. They just don't look as good in the grey format of the Paperwhite , and this is another reason I'm keeping this little rhinestone.
I recommend for a handy, cost effective diversion..and plan on using it a lot. I think a child...especially one who likes to read...not so much gaming...could use this.

sooo...a little update.
I use this almost daily, because of weight and size. I LOVE the ease with reading, much better as far as I am concerned than the Paperwhite (yeah...I own SEVERAL gadgets) color screen, play a little soft music or rain in background, etc) I've read almost every day!!! I LOVE IT
The lack of 2 speaker stereo bugged me a lot. Sooo...i grabbed a set of earphones..and BOB's YOUR UNCLE. I can listen to CCR, and play some solitaire, read the Post or Times...watch my tv shows, etc and the stereo sound comes in very well.
Flying out for the holiday on Tuesday. This will be in my hand or purse during the grueling 7 hr flight, stop overs. And if something happens....its a damned cheap, but VERY serviceable source of entertainment.
your gift to yourself. I think you will be more pleased than you think. Happy Holiday's Folks!!
