It's SOooooooo Old now LOL

LOL it's so old now. It is now 2020 I bought this in 2013. I wish Amazon made their kindles like this still. I love the carousel. My Battery lasts for days not hours and it doesn't glitch out. It is a little long in the tooth in tech years. So it is slow to download a book. But I can close it and it doesn't kill my book losing my spot or being unable to pull it back up. My 2019 Kindle 7 inch glitches out looses places in my book its battery wont last a full day with out charge. I hate the layout of the new kindles and how they mimic a run of the mill tablet.

Good ole days meets modern technology--Advantages for Seniors

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2014

I don't leave a whole lot of reviews... but after my dad's experiences with the Kindle Fire, I thought this is something that others might want to consider as a family tool. My dad is 74 years old and is not techno savvy. Bless his heart, the dvd player still gives him troubles. He lives on his own which for a while made him somewhat depressed because he felt like his days had passed and no one appreciated his era anymore. I tried to get him to go to music/video stores to get some of his oldies but goodies tunes-- but it was always more depressing for him to have the 19 year old clerk have no idea of who he was talking about. All of his favorite books had been deteriorating. So.... I got him a Kindle Fire. I preloaded it with some really neat country classic music like Anne Murray, C.W. McCall, and the early versions of Chris LeDeux. I also loaded it with some classic movies. I found an app that played serial radio westerns. I also found a ton of books by his favorite authors--audio and regular. He was a little intimidated at first, but this is one of his favorite things now. My teenage daughter gave him several tutorials. What was neat about the exchange was that my daughter was able to share things of "here and now" with him... but he was also able to share things with her "about the good ole days" as they were going through the books and the apps. He loved talking to her and she loved listening to the stories. He is not afraid to call her on the phone to learn new features. He's now a pro at the weather app. He likes reading the customer reviews on the books that he likes because now he sees that his era really isn't gone, it's just in a different format and location-- and people still appreciate the classics. He doesn't have a computer or email-- but each of our kindles do have an email address where you can email documents (including pictures)-- so we can email pictures of the kids events or news articles that might be helpful to what he has going on. He doesn't have to wait for it in the mail...it's instant sharing. It's also very easy for him to access because it pops up immediately when he turns on his Kindle. He doesn't have internet at the house... so he goes to McDonalds to have coffee with his crowd and download his latest books. He is now the envy of his McDonalds crowd. We did put parental controls on his Kindle -- but we explained that we did so that someone else couldn't do things with it should he lose or misplace it-- and we explained that we have the same controls on ours for the same reason.... so he didn't feel like we were treating him like a kid. I know this is a long review, but the bottom like is that it opened up a whole new world for my dad that he thought was gone. It has also had an awesome side effect of really giving our entire family a way to share more ideas and experiences with him. I just thought others might like to know that this more than just a toy for the younger generation, or a tool for the working generation....it's also a wonderful connection for seniors who need to know the are still remembered.

Disappointed

I'm a huge fan, and customer of Amazon! Everything I buy online is strictly from this site! Kindles are amazing, but I was a little disappointed with my new one! A few years ago as a gift I got one of the first kindles and loved it. I asked for this new one for Christmas, and it's great as well for what I wanted it for (reading) but I HATE all the flipping advertising! My parents bought this product, I buy books to read on this product and you're going to continue to throw apps in my face every time I go to look at my kindle? Sure I can have them removed for an additional cost, but that's ridiculous especially since this was a gift! I get keeping the adds on there for maybe a week after its first start up so people can really realize what all they can do on the kindle, but I've already downloaded apps, and a crap ton of books why must i keep looking at pointless crap that I'll never buy? There isn't another tablet on the market that does this. My next table purchase will not be a kindle-- it will be another tablet, and I'll just download the kindle app!

Solid Tablet, Perfect for my Non-Tech-Savvy Mother!

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2016

I pooled some cash together along with my siblings to purchase this Kindle for my Mother on her birthday the year before last. I must begin by saying that my Mother is one of the least tech-savvy people in my acquaintance; she becomes easily frustrated by new gadgets and requires assistance with nearly every function. Having said that, she refused to purchase a newer model phone (did not want to pay the extra bill), and at the time was carpooling to and from work with my Father, which meant she had to sit in a cafe at a major retailer for a few hours after work waiting for him to come pick her up. There is only so much shopping one can do when they are in the same store every single day for hours.

Anyway, after consulting with my brother (who is knowledgeable), we decided this tablet would be the first and best step to providing our Mom with a connection to the outside world while introducing her to newer technology. It took her the better part of a month to begin regularly using this Kindle. At first she was extremely frustrated and adamantly swearing she would never figure it out. I took a few hours one morning walking her through the account set-up process, downloading apps she would use, signing in to her emails and social networking accounts, and directing her to the functions of the tablet that she would likely use the most or need to know (how to find settings, etc). To date, she is a whiz with this tablet and is rarely seen without it. She takes it with her everywhere, lol. It is a staple item in her purse, and will even be found at her bedside each evening. A far cry from when she first received it.

We ordered the 16GB-plenty of storage for a beginner. Screen clarity is perfect. Wifi works perfectly. Touch screen and gliding features work well and accurately (you can always opt to use a stylus if preferred). Mom purchased a case/stand so she could easily view recipes or watch videos as the tablet stood alone. Installation and maintenance of programs/apps is simple as can be. Navigation is relatively simple for starters and experts alike. This is a quality device at an incredibly reasonable price point. For as much use as she's already gotten from this tablet, and for as well as it continues to function, I would recommend to anyone seeking a solid tablet for basic recreational use.
