Can you import files onto it or do the things you're reading on it have to be bought off Amazon?

I don't know. I haven't tried. Out of the box it's tied up to the Amazon store pretty tight. Works for me, especially since they have good prices and if you buy the physical copy a lot of times they give you a discount on the digital.

you can import the files, but they have to be in a compatible format. i had PDFs and converted them to amazon kindle and the quality wasn't consistent. sometimes they were great and sometimes they were out of alignment and blurry. buying the book from amazon will give you the best quality.

Yea I love the fact it looks like paper. Only problem is not backlit at night reading is a pain.

You read a lot of sci if @Kamikaze Revy ?

I'm big on sci if novels.
Not really. I'm more into classic books, historical, and philosophy books I can reflect on.
You have problems reading the Kindle at night?
Do you have the PaperWhite one or the original.
I don't have any problems reading mine at night at all.

Must have the OG, no backlight or nothin. I need an actual light like a regular book at night.

I got a Fire and an iPad too though.

Still prefer regular books for the weight in my hands and sense of progress seeing the pages change.

Nah breh you should definitely get on that paperwhite then.
Completely changes the game.
Reading has never been more enjoyable for me.

Can't remember which version my mom has, prolly one of the first.
Should upgrade her to this one if she still uses her Kindle as much. I think ever since I got her that kindle app on her Galaxy S6, she's chucked that thing in the bushes...gotta check.

Personally, I'd love to bite the bullet on a kindle but I still get a bit of a heady rush buying classic books in the hardcover and lining up on my shelf like trophies when I'm done. :ahh: Might cop this for E-books and other one off shyt I don't want to buy physical, like A song of fire and ice and that horrid 50 shades of grey series.:scusthov:

Im a collector too.
A lot of classic books are free through the kindle store.
I was reading the three musketeers until I became engrossed with this Malcolm X autobiography.
I have all the game of thrones books in hard cover. That story is incredible.

I've already been tainted by the fame of the show and it's fanbase to even try and accept this at the moment...but I will read and watch accordingly. Quick question though, do these kindles still have a proprietary charger cord or they using the mini usb like damn near everybody?
