For anyone who has a hold of this, is the reading experience any different? People say you can't read on NON e-ink displays for hours, but we do this all the time when we face our computer screens daily. 
Question: Should i get it and root this? read off this thing ? Or am i just better off sticking with the Kindle touch E-ink reader? The price point between the two really gets me. I can always return my Kindle Touch |
I appear to be the only one with a fire on this forum.
I haven't used other kindles before, but I don't see why I can't read on this for hours. Hell, I've read on my iphone for hours.
I'm taking this on vacation next week but the 8gb (6gb of free storage to be exact) is really limiting my choice of travel entertainment. It's great just for books and magazines and a couple of games, but without cloud or streaming, this thing fills up fast with just a few movies.
Currently I'm rooted and have access to android and other markets. But when the custom roms are stable enough for me to use, I'll probably switch to it, since the amazon services are useless to us anyways.
BUT, for the price, it's still a decent android tablet, if you're willing to accept (or work around) it's flaws.
