Kindle paperwhite protective covers

[BroncoNut]

I have a new kindle and was wondering if anyone had a cover for theirs, and if so, what kind and how would you rate it.
I'm thinking about buying one on amazon today is why I ask

Kindle Fire's where it's at!

I love my little $49 Firetab! It's Burnt Orange, can read books and then some. That said I wouldn't mind a paperwhite, but really my Fire tablet does everything a paperwhite does and then some, the big advantage the paperwhite probably has though is that the battery lasts longer since it's only running the ebook instead of multiple apps such as facebook draining the battery.

I had a fire and it just kinda crapped out on me, after several years though. it didn't appear to be water damage.

Kindle fire you can.

I have that one in tangerine. It has the amazon app store,but you can side load the google play store (which is what I've done) and then install apps from the google play store. It's basically an android based tablet. You really can't beat $49 for a 7 inch tablet either. The newer versions have the ability to use SD cards to add to the storage capacity.

Eat a dik, you illiterit fok.

Nut, I just can't make the jump to this simulated paper. I tried once, really tried, but damn if I don't love good old fashioned grainy printy pulpy paper, unpixellated. But you are all in?

youre not alone there good man (thanks for addressing Joe's rude post). I had no issue with it. maybe because of my passion for less paper, possibly that turning pages never turned me on that much. I don't miss dealing with the shitty bindings in the meater part of conventional books either. I believe you tried, nothing to be ashamed of at all. you're my new favorite poster btw

I read a crap ton of ebooks on my fire, plus the nice thing is most of the books you buy also have narration. What I do a lot is I will read when I'm at home or on breaks/lunches and then plug the kindle into my car and do narration so it's basically an audiobook. It's nice having the ability to jump back and forth between the two.

[Hawgdriver]

That narration part alone would sell me.

It's awesome being able to switch back and forth and it keeps your place. So if you physically read to chapter 3 narration will start where you left off and the other way around.

The Paperwhite can be read in direct sunlight while the fire cannot.

I think I have the Kindle HD 6. I love it. Especially now that you can get free books on amazon prime. I got the Cobalt Blue version with a similar color case. I used to watch amazon prime video and Hulu at work with it. My only complaint is that it's 8gb. I wish I could fit more music on it.

This would have been helpful earlier today. I think I'd like to try out a Paperwhite someday.

I could see that being an advantage (though i've never had an issue in direct sunlight with my fire...Just have to turn the brightness up. The downside obviously is that's a battery drain)

I don't read much in direct sunlight anyway, but I could see how that would be a worthwhile advantage for some.

The newer models have expandable storage. I have a 7' Fire tab that is the new model and it has a microSD slot. I had an older version of it previously before my son bathed it in milk and it did not have the added storage and was somewhat of a pain due to this.

[BroncoJoe]

I've got a few different readers, but still prefer a book in my hands.

It's handy being able to download stuff, but it's just not the same. I download books on my tablets, but I just prefer having an actual book in my hands.

[BroncoNut]

I got my cover yesterday via UPS or some shit. I couldn't believe how nicely it fit the paperwhite. It's like it was made for it. I'll post a pic sometime

[Valar Morghulis]

I have not read a book in a while, quite into audio books though

Totally Joe thangs.

Do they have expandable storage for a 6 yet? Or is it 7 and bigger?

Not sure, but to be honest, the 7' is $49... It's amazingly priced for a fully functional tablet of that size. I have always felt it was the perfect size as well, the text is easy to read, and you can hold the tablet in one hand while reading and switch between pages one handedly easily.

Agree, but the ability to switch between reading and listening is a big draw for me. Fixes a problem with dead time in car.

Umm got the protective cover and am happy with it. Thanks for all the input in helping me get there. Some real helpful posts in this thread anyway let's move on with our lives

What kind of happiness is it? Is it warm? Glowy? Subdued? Smug? Rapturous?

You can't end on this note.

I think that's what my daughters have. They seem a little glitchy. Of course, maybe they had an update to fix that.

I don't have many issues with mine, then again I have mine side loaded with the google play store so I can get my apps from the play store rather than the Amazon store... The Amazon store sucks!

Yep, that's why I enjoy it. I have about a 30 minute commute so I get a decent amount of book time in every day just to and from work.

Was that easily done?

It wasn't overly difficult. I'll post the link when I get home that way you can look at it and judge for yourself. I say it wasn't difficult, but I'm a fairly advanced user so what is easy for me, might not be easy for others.
