Additionally, I got the Kindle to read, not surf the web. I do plenty of that. So I didn't want the temptation of other games and such. Just wanted to read.
I have heard nothing but good things about the Fire, however. But in all honesty, I'm a Mac guy. If I was in the market for a tablet, iPad would be my first choice. I would look at the Fire though.
I have a Kindle Fire and I love it. I can watch movies or read a book, magazine in full color. You can check your email, browse the internet and post on FR like I’m doing right now. It’s easy to use. The downsides, you can’t stream video to your TV with it. You have to buy your ebooks and video content through Amazon. For the price, it’s a good choice.
