I looked up the kindle fire pros and cons, and I like it. It's not really trying to compete with the Ipad or other android tablets.. It's doing it's own thing and seems to be focusing on a family type group.
Even though it's set to improve by mid 2012, at the 199.00 price, it's a good buy and Amazon has a lot of books, videos and movies to purchase and use. There is a limit, however, as to how many movies you can store at one time, as of now,
If I didn't already have the Kindle 3, I'd consider the Fire.
