		| | I have purchased Kindles and Kobo readers for family and friends and have noticed that, as with all things, people either swear by them or at them.  It must be a personal preference thing.

		| | I have the original Kindle fire, and it's between 1.5 and 2 years old (forget exactly when I bought it, but it was one of the first shipments). 
 It's worked very well...no problem with the battery--still good life.
 
 I like:
 
 - As a frequent Amazon customer, I like the integration and ease of purchasing.
 
 - Screen is very good.
 
 - Size is convenient...but a bit small for Internet browsing for me.
 
 - Daily free apps from the Amazon store.
 
 I don't like:
 
 - The lack of a good secure password manager.  I use Lastpass for the web, and it's a pain on the Kindle...it's confusing because when you select something, you have to pick whether to use the built in browser or Amazon's browser.  I just want to go to the damn website and autolog in.  In fact, I want it to work just like lastpass does on Windows Chrome...I just go to the website, Lastpass fills in the login or autologs me in (depending on how I set the site).  Can it be that hard to just do the same on a tablet?
 
 - Lack of 3G/4G.  But it's a first generation device.
 
 - Lack of a microphone.  But again, I knew that and it's first generation.  But I could use skype on it if it supported a mic!
 
 - Locked out of the Google Play store.
