My wife has a Kindle Fire that was given to her as a gift. I'm sad to say that the device is a huge dissapointment. If I had bought it myself, I would have returned it.
It's a real shame. I think Amazon is great - I'm a Prime member. I have had a Kindle Keyboard for a year now and still love it! My wife has one too. But they blew it with the Fire. If it worked well as a reader, I'd say I understood that - but it's less functional as a reader than the Kindle Keyboard!! I'm tremendously annoyed by the fact that they don't allow you to get apps from the Andriod Marketplace. It means anything I got on my Xoom from the andriod marketplace can't be put on my Fire. Sure, there are probably ways to do it involving rooting and stuff, but I'm not going there. I can't say how easy it would be to use the nook tablet, but certainly the Fire makes it diffcult to use it as a squeezebox controller. Holding the Fire in my hand I have to say I like the size and form factor. The screen looks great too. That just makes it even more frustrating! -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch, SqueezeCommander on Xoom.
