Kindles are in another league: extra long battery, lightweight, practical for reading.

Think the parent of your comment was making that point.

Also good to note that the E-ink screen is a million times better for your eyes though!

Even the Kindle Fires have a use. Pretty much if you have very young kids, it is tough to beat a tablet. Our two year old has surprised us by knowing how to interact with the thing. The four year old flat out knows how to get it to the basic painting and similar games.
