Yeah, I’ve got an older Kindle Fire that I’ve tried to vanilla-fy as much as possible, but it’s never been much use to me other than for watching movies on long plane flights. For actual reading, it’s largely useless. I’ve taken to calling the Fire line “e-readers for people who hate reading.”
Meanwhile, my 7-year-old Kindle Voyage is still going strong, and will have to be pried from my cold, dead hands.
