I'm sure they have not been making any HD6's for quite awhile. As such, they are just selling from stock on hand (looks like 'Citron' is available as well).
When I first got mine I was quite pleased with it, but subsequent updates have left it rather sluggish, battery drains 5% or more overnight even though it is supposed to be sleeping, and library/collection sync do not work very well. Plus it is a bit of a brick to hold. Trade in credit for it is only $5. It is less than 3 years old, and is probably the last Fire tablet I'll buy.
I think one would better off getting an unlocked Android smartphone (starting at well under $100) and using that as reading device, that is, if you don't already have a smartphone.
I feel the same way. It worked pretty good for a while, but has become quite slow. I bought a Galaxy S7 edge with a 5.5" screen, and it does a better job. The old Kindle has gone to backup status.
I have my 6" propped up on my desk so I can watch movies while I do boring paperwork. I seem to have a lot of boring paperwork. Tonight, I watched the beginning of Rogue One. I have enough boring paperwork to last the whole movie and probably some time into The Force Awakens.
