Oh, you thought this Kindle was just a fancy paperless book?
We hate to break it to you, but you thought wrong.
It has that functionality, sure, but that's only one facet of what is a multifaceted item.
Think of it more as a modern-day entertainment centre. Videos, games, apps, music - really the only thing this Kindle can't do is make you a cup of tea.
Note: we've cleverly employed the use of hyperbole in that last paragraph. Obviously there are more limitations than just tea-making abilities. Please don't buy one and then complain that it can't make you coffee or hot chocolate either.
