Can you write a document on Kindle Paperwhite?

Q. Hey everyoneee.
SO I have a Kindle Paperwhite (I guess it's version 3.4 - that's what it says) and I write stories, too, and I like to sit outside and write, but because it's so hot, it doesn't take more than a few minutes before my laptop is insanely hot and it honestly hurts to write on it and sit with it.
So I want to sit with my Kindle instead, but are there anyone who knows how to write documents on Kindle's, that can be saved and transferred to my laptop over USB? If you know, I'd really like the instructions for it, haha :)

Thanks, bye!

A. eInk Kindles are not Android, cannot run apps

However, Amazon has some "active content" slow games and utilities available for Kindle.
http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_360184522_4?ie=UTF8&node=5713944011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=left-1&pf_rd_r=1GTJMYYKP3J8FCVCK9RR&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1465527702&pf_rd_i=2534114011

They have some notepad apps for Paperwhite.

This one says your notes can be copied to your computer. I don't know if it has a note size limit.
http://www.amazon.com/Notepad-Plus/dp/B0073V5MYI/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1401635820&sr=1-1&keywords=notepad

This one has a higher rating but I am not sure if the notes can be copied to your computer.

Also you can add annotations (notes) to Kindle ebooks and those will show up in a MyClips file on your Paperwhite and if synced to the web will also be viewable here at Amazon (I think where it says Your Highlights up top)
https://kindle.amazon.com/

If you have a net connection, you could also try using Google Docs on the web for writing.

Original Question

Should I buy a Kindle Paperwhite or a Kindle Fire?
Q. Okay, I have been trying to decide on whether to buy a Kindle Paperwhite or a Kindle Fire. I have been wanting a tablet for quite some time now, but I don't know which one would better suit what I want. I made one of my new year plans to begin reading a lot more again. And so I plan on doing a lot of reading this upcoming year. BUT, I have also been wanting an actual tablet for games and netflix and such. I understand that the Kindle Fire has the ability to read AND games/movies/music are also available on it. But, I heard that there is a much better reading experience on the Paperwhite because it actually looks like a book's pages and it doesn't exactly strain your eyes. But anyways, please help me decide and DO NOT BE RUDE! PLEASE! And if you don't mind, please explain why I should buy the Kindle Fire or Kindle Paperwhite. Thanks and Happy New Year :)

A. A Kindle Paperwhite is the superior device for reading. But it's not that superior as compared to a Kindle Fire.

As you wish to do more than just read, I do recommend going for the Kindle Fire, and actually, the Kindle Fire HD has enough added benefits to warrant the extra $40 for it.

Original Question

Any Kindle Reviews? (Kindle Paperwhite?)?
Q. I want to buy myself a Kindle for reading books. I do not want one with fancy internet stuff I just want to read books on it. They just came out with the Kindle Paperwhite. Does anyone have this model? What are you reviews on it? I am not sure if I should get the standard Kindle or the Paperwhite because I am worried that the Paperwhite will be too bright, but the description of the Paperwhite says it is updated and faster. Advice?

A. I love my Kindle Paperwhite. I have owned Kindle 2, Kindle 3 (both non-touch and unlit with small querty keyboard) and now the Paperwhite. I loved my other Kindles but the Paperwhite is so much better.

The touch screen makes it super easy to change settings like the font & font size/spacing, easy to turn pages (tap right side of page, left edge to go back). Tap top of screen for quick access to lighting and fonts and other settings. When in the library list swipe from right to left to turn page. When reading, to look up a word's definition, just hold finger on word.

And I love the lighting. The normal unlit color of eInk background "paper" is a gray between light and medium gray (depending on your room lighting). With the Paperwhite, I don't want to read on a white page like they show in the ads but I do want it to be as light as a hardcover book page, so I use a low setting of the built in top-lighting (which combined with my room lighting makes the contrast similar to a paper book). When I want to read in dim light or in the dark, I turn the light up until it's comfortable for reading. The nice thing is, you can set it the way you want it and it's not backlighting like reading a computer screen. It's front-lighting, dispersed in a thin layer between the eInk "paper" and the upper touch surface.

And for Kindles in general, I like that I can find a good number of free and low cost books by new and indie authors. if you read the description, comments/rating and the beginning of the book on the sales page, you can screen out duds pretty well.
Sites like these are good for finding free (and for the second site also 99 cent) Kindle books
http://www.dailyfreebooks.com/
(on this one see free and 99 cent categories listed down left, not the lending library ones - those are for $80/yr Kindle Prime subscriber)
http://www.kindlenationdaily.com/

And BTW - my older Kindles are still in use by relatives. I use somewhat bulky but well-padded Simplecase cases (by Grantwood). I have dropped all of my Kindles but they have survived in these zip-shut cases.
