    My original kindle is 11 years old, and while still working fine, I was afraid if I wasn't proactive, I'd end up with no Kindle at all. That's when I ordered the International version as I live overseas.
    It arrived promptly and i have updated it so when the old one stops working I can make an easy transition to the new one. I would be lost without my Kindle!

    Fantástico el lector, lo que no me gustó es que mi esposa se enamoró de él y se lo quedó. Así es de fácil leer en este dispositivo. Te enamora de un viaje

    Bought 4 months ago and unable to use because Amazon says I am registered, but tablet says I am not. No one has been able to resolve the predicament. Wasted $125.

    Es un muy buen producto, de fácil manejo y lectura, la batería se descarga más rápido que otras versiones de Kindle si tiene el wifi encendido, de resto funciona muy bien.
