Yes, I’m curious about your thoughts, TWM, on the Kindle Fire, too—my husband is thinking about that for his Christmas present but wants to read some reviews.
If I heard correctly this morning on one of the news programs, "they" are already talking about an upgrade for the holiday season. Don't know what that would entail, but that seems to be the latest rumour.
For me it’s a fairly simple thing. This device appears to be a info-device. It’s not a lap-top, It’s not a I-pad. It’s a E-Book Reader, a music player and a Video player.
Mostly I like to read, but I also like my music, mostly Jazz with a sprinkling of everything else from Folk music to Heavy metal. This will allow me to read and play music at the same time.
It will play movies for me. I have one TV in the entire house. It’s the old saying 300 channels and nothing that I want to watch. Actually that’s not true, what I want to watch nobody else want to watch and vice-versa. Being a laid back guy I put on my noise-canceling headphones and listen to my music when the darn thing is on.
So to re-iterate it’s a info-device and at $199 that’s a price I can live with. If you want I’ll let you know how I like it in a few month’s when it comes out.
