Never thought I'd get into ebooks and such, but I did and now I'm interested in getting one of the myriad of Kindle/Fire options available at Amazon. Any info and opinions (other than gargling balls and going Team Apple Zombie) would be appreciated!

They run a modified version of Android. You can root them and install the full google play store, but outta the box they come with amazon's own app store and a very limited selection of apps.
If you'd like to avoid all that, just get a regular Android tablet. You can get the kindle app, or google books works just as well.

For reading books only the Paperwhite model is the way to go. It's useless for a general tablet though. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Correct. If you are buying a device to read books on, and not a tablet (that also happens to display books), get the paperwhite, hands down. If you are looking for a tablet, get a kindle fire or ipad, both are good devices. |

Gets very heavy use. I don't like Android tablets. That's what an iPad is for. I like reading on the Paperwhite much better than on my iPad. Better battery life, too, than a tablet. |
