My wife has a Kindle and was trying to persuade me that I needed one too for our hols. So I found this little fella for the same price and thought it would be much more versatile and allow me to watch vids, surf, play games AND use the Kindle app.

I have also set up an email account (gmail), surfed the net a bit and now have it on charge.
