Time to upgrade from Kindle Fire 7" 5th Generation?
I've been getting more discouraged at how slow my Kindle Fire 7" is, but it has lasted me a long time, since they came out with the special $50 or so dollar price.
The last thing I see happening is on a new book I bought from Kindle Books. I read through to a page, then bookmark it, and the next day the books starts back at the beginning. I have to remember and go through the index to find the right chapter/page again. Any advice, or maybe an idea on what to buy as a replacement? Thank you all for any help, Denise ![]() |

The first question is, do you want an eink reader or a tablet like the Fire?

If you want to read, buy a Paperwhite. If you want a tablet, buy a real android or iOS tablet.

I don't know what an eink is, so I'll look it up. I don't like reading from my larger tablets. I think the Paperwhite looks too small. The 7" is a really good size for me. I always find cases, been lucky so far, that made my 7" and my previous Nook Reader like holding a book from both sides. here's a photo of that last cover I bought. This one is for Paperwhite, but I'll have to just look around at the reader sizes I guess. Thanks to both of you: https://www.amazon.com/ACdream-Paper...xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

The Oasis and the Kobo Libra are 7''. Both are eink, meaning they're perfect for reading, but you can't really do anything else with them, like play videos or install apps. They weigh much less than the Fire and are suitable for holding in one hand.

I was looking around Amazon and found a Kindle Fire from 2019 at the same, low price I payed in 2015. But this one has 16gb. Since the other reader lasted me this long, hours of reading, I decided I might get lucky again ![]() I do appreciate the help, and this will be easy as I am used to the Kindle Fire, Denise alias abbynormal ![]() |
