I picked up a Kindle Fire recently and thought others might be interested in a quick review!
Pros-
Web access - My personal experience with the wireless on this device has been very positive. Quick access and loading times, even in public areas with lots of users e.g. (hotel lobbies, coffee shops).
Games - Plenty!
Comics - I am a huge comic book fan and Amazon's selection of comic books is great! They even have a semi-weekly, free comic download section full of various Indy comics as well as some of the more popular names.
Book Library - Amazon has the largest selection.
Movies - Initially the 7" screen may seem small, but it is perfect for in-flight movies or on the train.
8Gb Storage - At first people frown upon the tiny 8 gb storage, but once you realize that Amazon allows you to store data on their Cloud Storage, its magnificent! With cloud storage, it beats any other size devices.
Office Docs - Great when you need to read a business related attachment.
Apps - Not tied in with Androids market, I know, but it is vast and growing.
Cons-
No bluetooth - Enough said..
No camera - I personally don't have a problem with this... Who is going to take pictures with a 7" tablet?
No 3g - .....
Personalized Settings - For some reason I have a thing for always wanting to personalize my backgrounds and layout on everything I own. With this device you cannot have a personal background.
If you are interested in a E Reader get the Kindle Fire. The $199 price tag is not going to break the bank, and for that price it does almost everything the iPad can do. It is a solid device and you will definitely be happy with your investment!
