Anyone here have it? I'm thinking of getting one for mother's day. I have an old kindle, but am thinking the fire might be fun for children's books., have any of you tried it?
I'm also going to start using the virtual library which I'm excited about!
We have one. Its ok, but I don't think its super user friendly. We have an ipad too, and I like that because the volume control, etc are external. The volume control, back button, etc. are all located in the touch screen. I think once you get used to it, its fine though.
I have one and I love it. TBH, I only use it for reading and internet-ing, but the few times I have watched video on it, I've been impressed. We are planning on using it for DS distraction on our 3h flight next month.
I have one, its ok. I would probably get the new kindle fire hd if I was going to get one now. I use it for basic interneting and reading. I don't watch videos on it. Posting on the bump was pretty much impossible, if there was a way, I could not figure it out. Posting here is easier, but still annoying. It's nowhere near as smooth as an iPad. But its also no where near the price of an ipad. I'm sure the hd has some sweet upgrades. Maybe look into a different tablet as well? I've heard good things about the galaxy hd.

You had to go into internet settings, disable javascript, post, then reenable javascript. It was a PITA! so much easier here.

Ugh see, I knew there was some ass-backward way of figuring it out!
I have one and LOVE it. DH has a Nexus 7 and he loves that too. We decided we both much prefer 7" tablets to 10" ones. And we're not willing to pay apple prices. The 7" tablets are so much easier to manage one handed when lying in bed. After a short while my arm gets tired holding a 10" tablet.
