Perfect as an eReader
My favorite feature of the 2019 Kindle Fire 7 is the “Blue Shade,” easily turned on/off and adjustable via the top drop-down menu. I don’t like bright artificial blue light glaring in my eyes (not good for brain health), so it’s totally awesome Amazon put this in the new Kindle.
I got this strictly as an eReader because I wanted something more book-sized than my iPhone XS Max pictured to the left of the Kindle. My Kindle 2nd Gen Paperwhite was too slow for page-turn and browsing the Kindle store. I won’t be downloading other apps or using this as a tablet. I have an iPad for tablet use. This has fast and smooth page-turning and Kindle store browsing.
The only improvements I’d like to see are the battery life and for Amazon to add the Libby app to the app store.
Pros:
-Perfect as an eReader
-Size and weight is just right for holding in one hand and the screen is about the same size as a book page
-“Blue Shade” for lowering artificial blue light
-Page turning and store browsing is fast and easy.
Cons:
-Could have a better battery life but it’s not terrible. Maybe the Kindle Paperwhite’s battery life spoiled me.
-Libby app needed in the Amazon app store.
