4/5? when everyone else is trashing it as totally broken you give it a 4/5? why?

Is it better than ipad, no but it's amazing and comes pretty close to the ipad in a lot of different aspects. and for 200 you really can't beat the price. When you consider all of it's features and how well it works. Now even low income families can afford a good tablet. A must buy this Christmas!

forgot to mention how you can't password protect your purchases so if you let your 5 year old play angry birds he WILL purchase every angry birds app and 3 seasons of Murder She wrote. This is not the tablet to buy for your kids unless they have their own amazon account.

okay so I like all the stuff you/they talked about but it's one of the other main features is it's an eReader? They didn't even touch on that. That's what I want to know. How is it when using it as an eReader? I have a Kindle 3G and was thinking of upgrading to the Fire but I wanna know how it is for READING! :)

@theiceman72 Just because the price points are different does not mean it can't be compared to any other tablet like the iPad. The kindle fire is a tablet, like the iPad, the price points are simply factors to compare as well. How can anyone say "its not meant to compete against the iPad"? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! Do you really think you would see a Kindle Fire if the iPad wasn't created or was not so successful??? Of course not, I am not saying the Fire's sole purpose is to compete against the iPad, because it is also there to sell amazon content, as well as push Amazon Prime. To say it is not meant to compete against the iPad is ridiculous, because that is currently what every tablet out there is doing. Also, the Fire doesn't hold a candle (no pun intended) to the Nook Tablet, its specs are all far below the Nooks and it shows. To say that it is the best tablet its size by far, is also stupid. You may be paying $49 more for the Nook but if you want access to Amazon's content it costs $79/year which you have to figure into the cost of the tablet, which would make it more than the Nook.

A lot of people came in on Black Friday Weekend at Best Buy looking to buy the Amazon Fire. About half also thought it was a laptop replacement. Uhhh no but a computer accessory yes it's pretty sweet.

I can't belive you guys rated it, that is so awesome of you. I asked you guys a little while ago not knowing if you guys would care or not and I don't know if you even saw that I asked but I still really appreciate it and think you guys rock and I can't thank you enough.
Unless you guys have an open position just floating around and if you do I would thank you a lot more... That was a joke, but i'm serious... But seriously thank you guys for being so awesome

Incubustable- They don't compare it to the iPad because like those that do its retarded. Its not made to compete against the iPad. When you can buy a new iPad for $200 shipped then they will rightfully compare it. It is by far the best android tablet of this size.
This was a great honest review for a change. Everyone else is just raining on Amazons parade by just comparing it to iPad. Good job guys.

Rate the nook tablet already! Why didn't they compare the Fire to the iPad like they do all the other tablets?
