I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

Uhh... What was the Kindle Fire? Wasn't that color, it was basically a very dumb tablet instead of a smart eReader?

Paperwhite is awesome, anyway. Great battery life. Perfect format. USB-C for charging, unlike the Oasis, seriously fuck you guys so hard for giving the Oasis microUSB, fuck you fuck you fuck you. Sometimes...you just need to know your lane & stay in it.

My guess is that Amazon thinks everyone f9rgot about the Kindle Fire cuz that was before last quarter and that's as far back as they remember.
