<p>love, love, love my gen 2 Kindle. A surprise gift from DH. Now, several years later we are a 3 kindle family, 2 gen 2’s, one Fire. What I don’t like about the original Fire is the lack of 3G. 3G is a huge selling point for impatient me. I know the new expensive Fire has 3G, at a cost, but at $499, I might go with an inexpensive IPad.</p>
