I got curious about Amazon Kindles and watched some reviews, and I don't understand why people buy them

For 280 bucks you can get a kindle... with color... wow. That's the first kindle with color that they've created and it was launched in 2024. For this price you can get a decent laptop... why would you want a kindle? Please let me know if you have one, and why.

I have always had a Kindle Fire since I left desktop. Long time ago. They are affordable and efficient. Now that I have been on IPad for a while I can’t go back to kindle.

@tobynshorty Amazon fire is not a kindle but a tablet, hence the confusion I guess. Kindles only allow you to browse literature, and most of them are grayscale.

@MartinTheFirst oh I see, thanks for explaining that.
