Large selection (1 more)
Old and (fairly) new comics
Crashes sometimes (1 more)
Not supported on Kindle fire
This app has a very large selection of Marvel comics old and as recent as 6 months. They certainly don't have everything but they're adding more every week.

I had some issues with it crashing but those have died down a bit over time. I do wish there were more options as far as making reading lists as well.

As a note, this is not available on Kindle Fire. This is probably no fault of Marvel but it does affect one's ability to use the app. It can be sideloaded but does have significantly more crashes and freezes on there.

It's been too long

This book has been on my kindle for a good five years or so and it's roughly been that same amount of time since I read TMS so it's been a bit weird coming back to this couple after so long. I remembered certain bits of the first book but not a lot.

I liked this but it didn't have the same intensity that I remembered from the first. I wasn't screaming at my kindle for them to get together and stop being idiots because they're an established, very happy couple. There was very little angst. It was all rather sedate but sex filled.

I am glad that pretty much everyone got their HAE though!

This one kept me hooked just like the first. Still was a bit slow in spots but overall it was very good. I love the concept still and the characters. I wanted to throw my kindle at times and other times hug it. Very interesting and glad I got to review it.

A Solid, Basic E-Reader
I received a Kindle E-Reader from Smashbomb as a giveaway prize. This does not influence my review.

This basic Kindle is a great introductory e-reader for people who want to discover the unique joy that is the ability to carry hundreds of books around with you without the bulk and weight.

It has no screen glare, which is so nice after spending hours looking at your phone. The ability to increase your font size to almost ridiculous proportions is fantastic for people with poor vision. It features a variety of fonts including Open Dyslexic which is a bottom weighted font that is easier for people with dyslexia to read. You can also adjust your page settings including spacing, margins, orientation, and alignment.

The battery life is not quite as good as they advertise IF you are someone who reads a lot. However, it's still good.

The storage is fantastic. You aren't going to fill it up anytime soon.

So there are lots of positives, but there are a few negatives.

The Kindle is very awkward to hold bare in your hand. It's a thin rectangle, and there is just no truly comfortable way to hold it. A cover is a necessity for both comfort and screen protection.

Because this is not a Paperwhite, if you want to read at night, you are going to have to use a booklight or leave a light on.

The method of organizing (Collections) that is Kindle specific... sucks. It needs a lot of work. However if you are a Goodreads user, it's not very important.

Overall, while the basic Kindle isn't personally my favorite (I prefer the Paperwhite), it is a great fairly low-cost choice for readers just getting into e-books.

I hope you get one soon. I agree that reading on your phone is a complete pain in the butt sometimes! But even with having a kindle I still do it anyways! One of my favorite things about Kindle is the syncing across devices, so I frequently start a book at home on my Kindle and finish it on my lunch break on my phone!

"I read every night. I do the Kindle thing. My wife bought it for me, and at first, I wouldn't use it because I'm such a book guy. I had to hide that I wasn't using it. After four or five months, she asked me what the deal was, so I tried it and now I read on it. Actually, I read the book on Kindle and then I also have a library in Seattle. So, I just finished Caroline Alexander's The Bounty: The True Story of the Mutiny on the Bounty. It's really good. The Bounty was a merchant ship when merchant ships were not at all glamorous. War was glamorous. The story had a bunch of scarred-up dudes, and it was just interesting overall."
