I recently purchased a Kindle Fire - my first venture into the Kindle arena.
I have to admit I was a bit disappointed. I seemed to have to "punch" the face of the Kindle to get it to react. Pushing lightly just didn't work. If things were very close together, only luck got me to the area I wanted.
While researching accessories, I noticed styli. I liked the styling of this one and its price. You'll be happy to know the vendor is a speedy shipper.
From the very first touch to the screen using this stylus I was hooked. The softest touch and Kindle leaped to the area I had chosen. What a major surprise. I fiddled around for about 10 minutes and got happier and happier with this stylus. Less work, less potential damage to the Kindle from "punching" the screen, faster reaction time, improved accuracy in hitting the correct area of the screen and less wear and tear on my fingers. Another advantage, no fingerprints on the screen.
All those pluses and no minuses - a winning combination.
If you'll excuse me, it's back to my Kindle Fire.
