I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

      In name, sure. But not really. It was Amazon trying to sell an Android tablet on the Kindle brand. It could read Kindle books using the same Kindle app as any Android device, but it was far more than an eReader and didn’t feature the eInk screen that makes eReaders worth reading on.

      No. It was a completely different product. It’s like trying to claim that an iPhone is an iMac because it has the “i” in the name and is made by the same company. Similar branding to help tie it together, but completely different devices.
