I just received the Kindle Fire for my birthday in November! I am low on the totem pole of technology, but was excited to use this product as I am an avid reader. I am competant on computers and cell phones but these little gagets and others such as MP3 players were beyond what I thought I could figure out. Soooo... the package from Amazon arrived on Novemeber 18th. I was so intimidated by its sleek design! There was a note card inside the box that told me to plug it in.... so I did! Easy enough! There upon the screen are step by step instructions to walk me through the simple start up! WOW TOO EASY! A few days in i decided to purchase my first book from Amazon... again... piece of cake. I entered my credit/debit number once and now I can just click through when purchasing any other books or applications and my information is stored securely. Within seconds they are delivered to my Kindle and are ready to go! This product has wowed me with its perfect combination of technology and simplicity! My 8 year old uses it daily to read books, play games and watch videos!. This has become a family gift! The kindle fire has so much to offer; touch screen, games and apps (some free), limitless books to order from, it servves as a back-up internet source when another person is using the laptop, you can store pictures and music on it and receive, send and manage email ALL for only $199! Thank you Amazon! Who needs an Ipad?

I love this thing it makes reading alot easier

I cannot believe how much I love my Kindle Fire. I got it from my husband for Christmas and it is a dream! I can't imagine ever needing an iPad after having this, and it was so much less expensive! Great buy!

I love my Kindle Fire. The colors are so vivid and it holds so many books. Plus you can get a ridiculous number of free books for it...up to 10 a day sometimes. Also, with the brightness tool, you can decrease the brightness of the screen, turn off all the lights, and have a very relaxing atmosphere for increasing your readiness for bedtime :-)

Received Kindle Fire for Christmas from my husband and its the best gift i could have gotten. I can read book with it without my glasses. Play my music on it while reading dont need two seperate. The colors are great, its lightweight and pretty user friendly. For the price its a great reader/tablet.

So, having used a Kindle app on a smart phone and also having used a Kindle Keyboard, both of which I love, I have to say that the Kindle fire is an amazing piece of technology. At one point I had a tablet through my cell phone provider and returned it within 2 weeks. But the Kindle Fire manages to bring the best all together in one place. In addition to having access to, well, ALL the books...I cna access the internet and manage my email. I can play games, solitaire, etc... It's the perfect size and so easy to use. The only thing I think I dislike about it is trying to use in sunlight. for this, I would recommed the Kindle Keybvoard more highly. Otherwise, this is just about my favorite toy/tool/electronic/life-line and so forth! (This is apparently Android-based, which is my favorite OS for smart phones that I've ever used. However, there are a handful of apps that I can't seem to access that I like on my phone, but nothing that is a deal breaker.) Too funny...I was about to hit Submit and a TV ad for Kindle Fire came on. :D

I love my new Kindle Fire. I got one for free with gift certificates I had earned for Amazon so that even added to the excitement. My husband even got one from my Mom for Christmas and loves his. Way to go Kindle!! I love that we can have all of the apps and everything we need right in our hand. I do wish there was a voice option for video calling, etc., but hey saving hundreds of dollars and not getting that - BIG DEAL!! I will not give my money to Apple, so being able to get this instead of the iPad which everyone swears by was a huge blessing. LOVE IT!!

I bought the Kindle Fire for my daughter for Christmas. After reading about it I turned around and bought myself one. It is a great tablet to have. I would suggest it to anyone that likes to read, play games, search the web or just about anything. My daughters friends have one and they bring them over and play on them for hours. I have downloaded several books and love to have it to read with. The only thing I have found is that some of the books are costly and you can only get them from amazon. It is also a great place to keep cookbooks.

OMG...This should have 10 STARS!!! I am in love with Kind Fire...Is it possible to be in love with with an electronic device!? LOL - I AM KNEE DEEP IN LOVE with Mz. Fire. My best friend was given the Nook color - she returned for the Kindle Fire once I showed her why I am in love.... 2 of my co-workers bought it after I took mine to work, and my daughter has it on her birthday list - even though I gave her my old Kindle!!

The Kindle Fire is so cool! I had a Sony Reader and have always want a companion Kindle. Well this model is great. It includes the book ereader feature and so much more. I love the apps available and it is a quick moving device. I think the best thing is that you can customize the screen for reader in so many ways that everyone can find a comfortable reading screen. Love, love, love it!

I have to say for the rate of books that keep piling up in my bed room, the Kindle Fire has saved me from having piles upon piles of books that i have read or whats next on my agenda. I say its way better then having an ipad. Theres places for books, music, apps, and more. Its also a life savor for a college student such as myself. I recommend this to anyone specially avid book readers.

Just got the kindle for Christmas and I love it. My biggest objection was the cost of the books. I thought that I would be spending a fortune on books but there are so many free or reduced price great books available through Amazon, it's definately worth it. So easy to use and it comes already set up for you. Happy reading!!

I love my Kindle Fire. It is so easy to use, and so fun. I didn't realize when I got it how much it would do. I not only read, and in the dark, but going online and games. I can even listen to music while I read. It is a amazing thing.

i received my fire for Christmas 2011 from my sister, her and i had the same IDEA for the family, i was not to particular about having one since i have a laptop. then i started to use it!!! it is GREAT i listen to my favoriate music, through i heart, i read NOW since i can change the font and the screen color. i have access to games other usefull tools. the funny thing is my neighbor has a NOOK and she tried to convince me to get one but i would not trade my fire in for anything else.

love my kindle fire, got it for my birthday and it does everything i want it to.
