Cinnamon Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Why do you do this to me? I had just decided NOT to get one! I am now re evaluating that decision.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Get one! I love mine and find it excellent for reading in the dark. (you have to turn the brightness down a bit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daphne Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 We only became a 2 Kindle household a couple of months ago, so I'm a bit miffed having seen this....I would definitely go for it....can't Father Christmas bring it for you?

Cinnamon Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 It seems that the Husband has bought me one for Christmas. I shall inform him of this fact later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I like your style Sarah. I daresay he'll be relieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I must say I'm quite tempted to get the OH one for Christmas, he doesn't read much so hadn't thought about buying him a 'normal' Kindle but as this is a bit different he might like it and it might encourage him to read. Is it any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I already have a normal kindle, how would a kindle fire benefit me? Have seen the ads & this offer - they look good. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 For me,its the colour,the lit screen & the other capabilities it has. But then again I am a real techy & just love getting a new bit of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 UPDATE: I have cancelled it,as I found it for the same price on the John Lewis site,so am ordering it from there,which is more beneficial to me,price wise. They must be matching the black Friday offer I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 SO you can read books in the dark & go on the tinternet..anything else? Just trying to see if I really need one, or whether to spend the money on something else. It's just that I have a normal kindle & a reading lamp & have a netbook & android phone for on the go. So I wouldn't really need one??? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Can someone who has one or has tried one tell me what its like for reading? Its a different screen/set up to the normal kindle so do you get glare on it? I'm still pondering..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I tried one out a couple of weeks ago & while there was,some glare,it is nowhere near like the glare on an iPad. I have an Android smartphone too,so dithered about my need for a Fire, but I love my Kindle,& miss having colour book covers. Also I don't have a netbook,just a desk top computer. Plus I just want one! You can watch movies on it too, but using it as an ereader is shat I will mainly use it for. I got it for £85 in the end,with 2 years guarantee. Would have been rude not to!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'm swithering over a Nook for OH (which I will obviously use ). I don't want bells and whistles, just something to read e-books on. The Nook seems to get better reviews than the Kindle if you just want a basic reader. Does anyone have one? I'm waiting till after Christmas (it's for his birthday in Feb) to see if they come down in price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbug Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Cinnamon was that from John Lewis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I think I'll order one, OH is a bit of a gadget freak. He's a bit picky though, he borrowed an ipad and decided he didn't particularly like it. I think the fact that its smaller, will have books and colour might appeal to him - and if it doesn't then I can use it. Win win situation!!

Cinnamon Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Cinnamon was that from John Lewis? Yes, but remember I get partner discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbug Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Arr...brilliant bargain especially with insurance. I can understand why it would have been rude not have got the kindle lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Have you seen the Kindle fire HD though. You can use it to browse web, watch videos, as well as read books and it has a lot more memory costs a bit more though but nothing like an ipad.
