Kindle Replacement

My wife's Kindle Fire has finally given up, keeps turning off and reuses to charge.


This is a replacement for her first Kindle and is well out of guarantee.


She wants a new device, not another Kindle Fire, something that she can transfer her paid for books and numerous cash coins for her extra levels on her games to.


Any suggestions?
over 73 but not over the hill.

    My kindle died so I just downloaded the kindle app and it was all there, even the page I was on! Not too good with reflected light though, so cannot read in direct sunshine. (Although I'm sure there would be a screen cover for it if I looked!)

    Not sure about the games, but I guess the same would apply?

    A bit expensive for replacing a Kindle Fire.

  • Apple and Android tablets can both run the Kindle book app. Not so sure about transferring coins for games - that might work on Android if you install the apps via the Amazon app store (rather than the normal Google play store).

    We just bought a £39.99 Kindle Fire tablet, and it's our second in the house. If you want a good Android tablet alternative it's worth reading up on them. Some good ones to check out are:

    Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro
    Nvidia Shield Tablet K1
    Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70

    The Nvidia is meant to be very good for gaming. I'd be looking at the £149 10" 2GB RAM Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70 myself
