Are you aware that Amazon’s Kindle Fire now includes “Alexa” (as in, Amazon’s Echo spyware)? You cannot get the non-Alexa model of this Fire. I believe all models include (or soon will) Alexa. I would not bring one of those into my home.
I recommend the regular Kindle e-reader (no Alexa).
Alexa needs to be activated to function in ‘settings’. Anyway, what are hiding? Just kidding!!
Or download the Kindle app to your computer or tablet. It’s free & no worries about Big Brother listening to you.

Mr. Rawles:
Do you have a recommendation for a solar powered generator? We live in a large metropolitan area (Phoenix) and I am concerned about the noise from a gas powered generator. Thank you.
I’m not Mr Rawles however they do have 2 solar power generators with links listed in the prizes listed for the writing contests. There is one that is a bigger investment up front however it is expandable, quiet EMP hardened and will eventually pay for its self. You can find a lot of amazing links to smaller e-commerce sites with quality made in the USA products. It is worth poking around the site to find these products that help with self sufficient lifestyles. Most of the sites and products I have found are like-minded Americans who have found solutions for living more self sufficient life-styles. I have not yet been disappointed with any site or product I have found on Survival Blog.
My wife has two Fire tablets, and between us we have four reader-only Kindles, one of which is a Paperwhite.
I can’t believe anyone would recommend the Fire for anything other than playing games. As a reader it is as useless as a smart phone, the battery life is measured in hours. The old fashioned (haha) reader-only devices have battery life measured in weeks. Even the back light on the paperwhite model doesn’t significantly reduce battery life.
If reading is what you intend, forget the Fire.
