I just got the kindle fire last Saturday, for my birthday(birthday isn't until March). I LOVE IT!! It depends on what you want out of the tablet. You said you don't need it for pictures and the size it right for you...The KF does alot of stuff. And yes....there are TONS of free books. The Ipad is expensive and you have to pay a monthly fee...the KF you don't. However, it does come with Amazon Prime free for 1 month. this is for stream lining movies and tv shows...it costs 79.00 a month if you decide to keep it. If you wanted to watch a movie you could always buy it and have it loaded to you KF. And the best part!! It's WAY cheaper than the Ipad!! If you are on Facebook and type amazon kindle in the search it will bring up there page...like the page and they have free books all the time!
