Maybe this one could be a game machine.
Sneaky being 34.99 with free shipping over 35! Makes you buy something else for free shipping.

I just ordered one for the grandkids to use when they are visiting. It won't arrive until after Christmas but then, grandkids won't be visiting either til after Christmas. I figure it will come in handy and I will still have control over it and what they use it for. Depending on how they treat it I may decide to gift them one of their own later on down the road.

Have been doing a bit of research. The Kindle 7" is $35; the Kindle 6" (better graphics in HD) is $70 for the same gb. But I have some questions. Anyone have answers?
First off, the reviews I'm reading say that these are good buys if you have Amazon Prime because of all the free downloads. I have Amazon Prime, but I'm considering giving one as a gift to my sister (who doesn't have Amazon Prime and who is also not computer-adept, which means I will probably have to pre-load everything for her). Is it worth buying if you don't have Amazon Prime?
How many Kindle devices can be linked to an Amazon Prime account? I suppose I could link her Kindle to my account, but then I'm worried that she may inadvertently make charges to the credit card I have linked to my Amazon Prime account.
Also, just wondering if it is worth paying extra for the Kindle 6" because of its better graphics. Both my sister and I are aging, and eyes don't get any younger.....
Edit: I knew there was one more question I wanted to ask. I have an iPad Air that I use every day. What would be the value for me if I were to buy a Kindle Fire 6" or 7" if I already have an iPad?

Be sure if it is a gift you buy it unregistered or it will be registered to your account when it is turned on. You can call Amazon and get it unregistered if you mess up. The person you give it to has to have a Amazon account to register it. Lots of free books and apps there Prime member or not. You don't need prime to watch movies. You can watch Netflix or any of the paid cable channels that you subscribe too. I have the 6 HD and the 7 fire tablet. I can't tell much difference in graphics. I have the paperwhite for reading at night and the regular Kindle for my purse. I can read a few chapters while waiting anywhere. Each Kindle registered to my account will sync everything on each one so that is why you don't want one registered to your account if given as a gift.
