The 7-inch screen on the Kindle Fire is impressive. It's sharp enough to do justice to web pages and photographs
And it also offers decent viewing angles. The Kindle Fire's web browser is more than capable
And everything responds at a decent pace. We managed to get 7-8 hours of runtime from a single charge. The Menus on the Kindle Fire are all laid out sensibly – the Fire runs a reskinned versi

As I mentioned above Amazon's own skin over the Android Operating System is also a bad thing as personally I find you cannot customise the device as much as some other tablets. Things like wallpapers
Widgets and arranging your own desktop to suit your ne
That's unfortunately where the good news ends. For a start
The Kindle Fire will not be coming to the UK – and is on sale in the US only. The Kindle Fire is also less capable than the standard Kindle when it comes to use as a regular eReader
With the display proving harder on the eye. The 8GB of storage space is limited
And there are virtually no features – from a camera
Great screen, solid performance on all fronts, excellent integration into Amazon ecosystem, good value for the price
Lack of Bluetooth, external buttons and other standard tablet functions;
Dan posed the following question: I hear about people finding more and more uses for their iPad as it becomes increasingly integrated into their lives. I’m quite curious to see if that is the case with the Kindle fire or not. My immediate gut tells me...

At $199, it's less than half the price of an iPad, Brilliant IPS display, Easy to navigate with a polished interface, Suitable for one-handed use, Solid build quality
No 3G, microSD card slot, HDMI output, or cameras, Doesn't let you install apps from Google's Android Market, Web browsing is choppy, No volume rocker
Navigating the UI is a different experience. For the most part, jumping around the menus and scrolling tiles are both smooth and fast. Perhaps not quite as smooth as the iPad, but still impressive actually. I didn't experience any issues with streaming pl...
Affordable, good quality, excellent Amazon shopping and support experience
Lacks the features of a general purpose tablet, lags sometimes
The Kindle Fire isn't a game changer in the world of tablets, but it's a very intelligent evolution of the Amazon ecosystem. With one device, Amazon can sell you eBooks, MP3s, videos and apps--they're all just a dangerous "1 Click" away. As an afforda...
Abstract: The Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet are both vying for that special place in consumers' hearts reserved for inexpensive consumption devices. But neither is perfect, and in many aspects of the tablet experience, one succeeds while the other fails. Since w...
The Kindle Fire is probably the best tablet you can buy at $199. Amazon has effectively defined the new price point and specs for entry level tablets, anything comparable shouldn't even bother with a price tag greater than $199. I'm sure this won't come a...
Abstract: Video Review: The Amazon Kindle Fire offers a 7" full color display, dual core processor and access to 18 million movies, TV shows, songs, and books for only $200. But is this tablet worth the hype? Kevin Pereira and Candace Bailey take a look at the n...

It's not difficult to understand why Amazon would want its own tablet. The company's list of services is just as long as Apple's. The garden is there, and now, Amazon has a device that can help build a wall around it. Digitimes has been speculating that t...
