(I have a LOT of notes!) So hopefully tomorrow, I'll be able to play more with the EN app. I created a couple of test notes with Skitch, which integrates seamlessly with Evernote, BTW! Props to the EN/Skitch team for that! Also created a note in the EN app & that went well. I've installed Handrite Pro, Skitch & Evernote. Another reason I wasn't fully on board with an iPad - b/c I don't relish the idea of carrying a $500+ item around in my tote. I anticipated carrying the Fire in my tote, whenever I leave the house & use it for note taking when I want to write more than is 'comfortable' on my phone.

Although I'd love to have an iPad, I didn't want to spend the money on one. (This is reinforced by the fact that it's less than half the price of the 'cheapest' iPad.) So if you have an iPad & love it & use it, the Fire may be a disappointment. You have to keep in mind it's not an iPad. Initial impressions of the Fire are that I love it. Bottom line, IMO, if you want a Kindle primarily for reading, it (or the current equivalent) is perfect. E-ink is supposed to be better for your eyes than backlit screens. (Although you can view the same book from say the Mac or Windows Kindle app & see the lovely photos.) Also, I have eye issues. It's not very good for magazines or books which rely on a lot of photos (IE cookbooks, photography books, etc) b/c the photos just don't display all that well b/c it's not color.

And no more dealing with the lights that clip onto the book & regularly fall down when reading a paperback when lying down. The lighted cover means I always have a light with me & can read it in bed w/o having to turn a light on & disturb Mr. It uses e-ink which means you can read it easily in direct sunlight. I cannot tell you how much I love this setup. It's the one that was released last year & goes by K3 or now, Kindle keyboard, I guess, b/c it still has the non-virtual keyboard.
