Spryte Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I am considering getting DS a Kindle Fire for the immersion reading aspect (he has vision issues, and I think this would be helpful). We are mostly iPad people here, so we don't have a need for the apps or online capabilities. We each have Kindle Paperwhites already, and of course - I wish they did Immersion Reading on those. But since they don't, I'm considering the refurbished Fires. I don't want to spend much on this, as it seems silly when we all have iPads and Paperwhites already. Anyone have experience with a refurbished Kindle Fire? The website says Kindle Fire 2nd Gen and up support Immersion Reading, so those are the ones I'm checking out. Any thoughts?

Lady Florida. Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I don't know about immersion reading, but my Kindle Paperwhite is refurbished and I've had no problems with it. If it comes from Amazon it will come with the same warranty as a new one but at a lower price. My Fire (which I bought new) is a 2nd Gen. I'm happy with it even though the later ones have more bells and whistles. I think as long as it does what you need it to do, it will be fine.

SABE Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 My son has had a refurbished 2nd Generation Fire since October, and it works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jar7709 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I have a refurbished Fire and a refurbished Kindle touch. They work perfectly. Also have a refurbished Samsung tablet purchased through Amazon and a couple other refurbished devices. No problems with any of them, though one or two came with a couple minor cosmetic scratches in the casing. Nothing worse than I put in them in the first day of use anyway, though. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
