I use a 9” Pandigital Tablet/e-Book.

$199 and it works fine for what I need. No camera, and very few apps, but it is good.

I love Amazon, Kindle, and Jeff Bezos. They send me money every month.

I have the original Kindle. Still works great and I use it everyday. I did put in my order for the Kindle Fire though. I thought it was time to upgrade. And the price is much less than my original kindle cost me.

And Yes, I think Amazon has a hit with the Kindle Fire.

If most of what you do is web-surfing, e-mail and entertainment, the Fire will serve your needs well without busting the bank.

It is a smart move on the part of Amazon to use the razor/blades idea for low-end tablets.

If you want a feature-rich tablet, go with iOS or Windows 8.

I see this affecting other Android tablets more than anything else.

This has gotten little notice, but might be more important in the long run. Amazon's new web browser, "Silk". It is quite clever and cloud based. At first, when I read about it I was skeptical, but it makes a lot of sense for these devices.

I'll keep my second generation Nook. $149, dedicated reader, e-ink (works in the sun), feels like a book, touchscreen, two weeks on a charge and 2500 epubs loaded.

And no DRM, EVER.
