I have the Kindle Fire (splurged for apps and comic books) and I very much like it. I don't really do much outside (other than walking to/from campus) so I can't vouch for the usability there, but where I use it (indoors) it works great.

Yeah, I'm maybe looking at a Kindle Fire, but I don't know how it performs outside. Do you think you could take it out for a couple minutes if it's bright out where you are and see what kind of visibility and glare on the screen you get?

If it's not still raining, sure. BRB

So, it was still pouring when I went out, but when I tilted the screen toward the sky, the glare was kinda meh but probably doable.

I don't think this'll help much, and if you really want to know your best bet is to get hands-on experience before buying one (whether if someone you know has one or going to like Best Buy to see if they have a test model).

Next time it's sunny out I'll try to remember to take it outside for testing, but idk when that'll be (or if I'll remember, haha).

I agree with Ip670sv...go do it LIKE A BOSS!!!

Step One: Narrow your search to 3-4 models
Step Two: Go to your nearest best buy and as to test each on of them out
Step Three: When associate returns and asks if you have any additional questions, say Nope I like this one, gonna go home and order it on amazon
Step Four: Strut out. Not walk, strut

That makes you a bad person, you know that right? :p

I can live with it.
