Thanks, HM! I don't like to read anything in bright sunlight - it hurts my eyes. I got eyestrain trying to read my old Kindle in bed, although I can read "real" books in bed with no problem, so the backlighting might be more good for me than bad.

@Dagney - So, just why do you want to sell your Kindle Fire, young lady? Hmmmm?

Because Santa brought me an iPad and I can do all things on the the Apple Box o' Happiness

I actually REALLY like it - it's a good tool for what it does - and the fact that there are apps available for it makes it pretty awesome
