Of course, it does what it is supposed to do.Yes, if you are not equipment wise, you can be confident that you are getting something that will work and will have a decent life span.You can be angry that it is not included with the product...if you like being angry. Perhaps they will change the way they sell these but I doubt it when even the Fire HD, larger size, (which I have) requires separate purchase.Yes, I have for that as for this and other kindles I have had (and given to friends and relatives) purchased less expensive ones on the market as back-up.Above all, while I know it is for their own marketing advantage, all sources agree that Kindles are being sold at or below cost of manufacture to Amazon.
