The day finally arrived! My Kindle Fire was finally in my eager little hands. Now that I’ve had time to play with the shiny new gadget, I’ll give my two cents on it.
What I like:
1. The price. For the price, it’s a great alternative to the iPad.
2. Smaller size than the iPad.
3. Selection of books from Amazon.
4. It’s easy to use.
5. It’s a gadget, and I love gadgets.
What I don’t like:
1. The weight. It’s heavier than I thought. Not that it’s extremely heavy, just a lot heavier than my original Kindle.
2. The cost of magazine subscriptions. Which has nothing to do with the Kindle.
So yeah, there you have it. All pros and one con. With that said, I’ve decided to keep my orginal Kindle. I’ll read on it and use the Fire for everything else.
All in all, I’m happy.
Good to know. I am waiting for mine to arrive and I am like you…I love gadgets and the price was right. I love my Kindle and am grateful since that is how I discovered your books!
I am ordering one for myself and one for my oldest son next week. I was wanting an Ipad, but since the price of the Fire is so great (and I love my Kindle) I figured I would give it a shot before I spend the extra money on the Ipad.
Thanks for the review. I too, have found Rose and a few other great e-book authors through my Kindle and I’m ever so thankful!
Thanks for the info. on this. I’ve been debating on the Fire as a present for my husband for Christmas. I already have an iPad, but like you mentioned, it’s pretty heavy. I’m thinking more and more about just getting him a regular Kindle.
Thanks for the info. I love my original kindle and was contemplating the Kindle fire. However since all
I do is read on mine I think I will postpone it until after the holidays
