After using the "Kindle for PC" app on my laptop for a few years, I decided to get a dedicated e-reader.

This one is ready-to-use straight out of the box, very easy to follow menu/ tap settings, etc, and a useful tutorial. Kindle content downloads quickly and easily.

I chose this one (over Paperwhite) only because I don't usually read in low-light conditions. The screen reads fine even in artificial light. Since the interface and operating system for both are exactly the same & this model is 1oz lighter, the $60 surcharge (for Paperwhite) didn't feel worth it. In-store (Staples), I compared them at the same light level (lowest setting on Paperwhite = this model's one and only setting).

Not sure why there's no sign-out of "My account" option but my guess is the content can't be read if so. Also why there's an option to protect it w/ a Device Password and/or add Parental Controls.

To fully charge it, I used my BlackBerry USB power adapter or there's an included USB-only cable. Have yet to buy a case* for it.

I also found some videos on YouTube that were very helpful in helping me decide which model to choose. :)

For this price and as a simple, effective e-reader, it's absolutely worth it.

ETA: * = I've since bought (and love) this case; listed as "Kindle 7 2014 (Slim Shell)": MoKo Amazon Kindle 7th Gen Case - Ultra Slim Lightweight Smart-shell Stand Cover Case for Amazon Kindle 2014 ( 7th Generation ), BLACK
