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.

I love my kindle, a birthday present from hubby. Love the free apps and books from Amazon. It's light and easy to use. If you are thinking about getting one do it, you won't regret it.

I bought a Kindle Fire HD for hubby for Christmas and have been loading aps and content that I think he'll enjoy. I've also watched Dr Who last night - just to see how it worked - and I have to say... I may have to buy a second one. It's incredible! The video streamed into the unit without issue, the picture quality was incredible and the sound was perfect. If you're looking for a small tablet device that can do more than just store books to read, check out the Kindle Fire HD. I highly recommend it.

We purchased 2 Kindle Fires for our teen girls last Christmas. They have not left their sides yet and it has been almost a year. They do everything on their Fires! Facebook, play games, listen to music, text, surf the internet, read, watch movies and Netflix. You name it they can do it with these Kindles. We had trouble with one of them after having it almost a year and Amazon replaced it no questions asked.

I have bought the Kindle Fire for a gift for my college student. It is a wonderful due to you only have so much space in a college dorm. If you are a book lover or able to get you college books through ebook it is the perfect solution. Battery life lasts quite awhile. I love the fact that if I send her an email she gets it quickly since she takes it with her wherever she goes. I would highly recommend this for any book lover!

I have to say I did some research on tablets and found that the best one for me to try would be the Kindle Fire. I actually bought it for my daughters 9th Birthday. She loves to read and I thought this would just make it a lot more fun for her and she could also get online when she needs to for school without having to use my computer. The reviews I had read on this were good and bad. I'm assuming the bad reveiews were from all the folks that are very techonologically savy. I on the other hand am not. Anyway, The Kindle Fire is a GREAT tablet/ereader. It is very bright and colorful. The colors are really good. My daughter can read, play games, access the internet (with a wifi connection). There is no monthly fee as long as you are close to a wifi connection you will not have a problem. The price ranges on these right now. I purchased one at Best Buy on the first day they came out and I paid $165.00 after my coupons etc. I bought another one for my other daughter (for christmas) and this one I paid $130.00. You will need to find a great deal to find it at either of those prices. I'm a savy shopper so I always find pretty good deals. It retails mostly for $199.00. Overall for the price it is a great tablet. Does what most do for half the cost. Dont' know what to say except that we all LOVE LOVE LOVE it and I have told so many people about it they have decided to get it instead of the IPAD.
