I've got a first gen Kindle Fire, and I've been using it for years. I love it for reading, Netflixing in bed, and playing the few mobile games I'm interested in. It's also hooked to my Amazon MP3 library, so that's nifty when I want to listen while I read. I know about a million newer better versions have come out, but it's still an awesome little device and I couldn't be much happier with the use I've gotten out of it.
As OP said, it's perfect for the treadmill! I'm sure if I had a smartphone I wouldn't need it though.
