I just bought the Fire 7 in Denim blue refurbished because they didn’t have the pink one in stock. But I’m very happy with it. It doesn’t have a lot of ram so if you don’t close out your apps. It will frees or slow down.
Hi Courtney! So, I'm old. I got into e-readers before the kindles came out. I would read on my palm pilot with books from the public domain. Then, I got the Sony eReader and bought some books on that. When the Nook Color came out, I bought that. Since it was basically just a tablet, there was a way to install a custom rom with android on it and install other apps. That was my first tablet. I've since become a kindle girlie (I have 3, the paperwhite signature, the oasis and a kindle touch 2). Basically I have books on all the different infastructures. I've had Amazon Fires in the past and I would side load the Google Store so I could grab the other apps for B&N, Kobo (that's where all my books from Sony went when Sony killed their e-readers.), Google Books, etc. I no longer have any Amazon Fires as I got an iPad pro a little over a year and haven't looked back. You're maybe wondering where I'm going with all this, well, you inspired my newest e-reader. I've been wanting an iPad Mini for my purse because my phone is getting harder to read (I'm old, remember?), but 1) another iPad is NOT in my budget right now, and 2) I'm an Android girl so I I'd prefer to stay in that infastructure. After watching your video and seeing how you were using your old iPads as dedicated readers I decided to dust off my OLD Samsung Galaxy Pro Tab 8.4" and charge it up. It started up great! The only problem was that they stopped updating it 10 years ago with Android 4 (for comparision we are up to Android 14) and I couldn't put any apps on it. So back to what I used to, see if there was a custom rom from the android community that I could install to update it. I found one and its now sitting here with Android 11 on it. I've been able to install all my reading apps and note apps on it, plus, it fits in my purse GREAT. I saw they had a clear case on Ali Express so I'm waiting on that no. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hey Courtney! I have the Fire 8 so a little different but about it booting pages slowly. Do you regularly click on the square icon at the bottom that brings up apps that aren't shut down, then scroll all the way right until you see 'Clear All'? That speeds mine up a lot like brand new. I wish when we clicked on a new app it automatically shut down the ones we're leaving but if there's a setting for that I haven't found it. :( (oh and also disable notifications for every app it allows because that really throws a monkey wrench into booting the device!)
Okay I have been recently wanting to buy a Kindle. I don't know which model to buy but I want one which can let me add my own pdf or my own books into the reading device. Can anyone recommend me a Kindle which let's me add my own books for free (ALSO I HAVENT DONE MUCH RESEARCH SO PLEASE DONT ATTACK 😭🙏) (if my English is bad I'm so sorry it's my 2nd language 😭)
@@no_its_zainab Heyyy!!! 🙋🏼♀️ I would suggest the kindle paperwhite (if all you want to do is read)! You can ad books and also send books from libby to your kindle too. Good Luck! 🌿✨
You should get a anti glare matte screen protector for your kindle fire 7 its made the screen way better to read on .
@@LadyAya_sims Ooo you’re right… I definitely should!
Yes please would love to see you do a video of how to organize the Kindle I would definitely find it very helpful 🙂
@@zoetamaraknape Amazing! Will do 😀
By the way, my book with all of those images looks GREAT on Kindle Fire which I use here in Thailand where I happen to be living;)
