    @monospaced,

    disagree. It's a very affordable and capable tablet. But there is a *VERY* clear distinction that needs to made with a Kindle Fire and most other tablets out there. It's really a device for MEDIA CONSUMPTION. It's really great at handling most visual media (books, video, web). It's perfect for my fiancee, who's only personal-computing needs are reading books, browsing the web, and watching videos.

    That being said what it is NOT A LIFESTYLE device for a people on the go. It does not do productivity stuff very well(or at all). It's not going to manage your iCal/Google calendar for you. It's not for power-emailers on the go. You're not going to get access to all of those pointless, esoteric app store/google market apps.

    If you want all of that stuff (most people do) then get an iPad/different android tablet.
