Also take that Barnes & Noble: On Wednesday, Amazon took some of the shine off Barnes & Noble’s announcement when it released a statement saying that actually the Kindle Fire would be coming preloaded with Netflix and Pandora, together with apps for Facebook, Rhapsody, Twitter, Comics by comiXology, and the Weather Channel, among others. And now news has come that the Fire will also have support for Hulu Plus, along with ESPN’s ScoreCenter, which allows sports fans to keep track of the latest scores from various sports leagues and competitions around the world.

I'd compare it to Acer with laptop products. But I'd personally not buy one. | ||

My experience has been 1-4 hours and little to no strain on they eyes. Compared to a 4 hour session on a computer it`s nothing. | ||

I went from reading 1-2 books a year to about 10 since I got it (two months ago). Seriously – this thing'll kickstart your life like nothing else can. BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY. | ||

I guess there's no new eink technology in the near future If that was true, why bother updating the kindle to the new touch ones when they have the fire? They will easily coexist, and amazon's fairly aggressive pricing model allows them to do so. Battery life + the lack of glare is a key selling point in the e-ink readers vs the tablets. Tablets are great for some things (color reading, applications, web), but if you just need to read novels, the kindle is far superior. I'm personally looking to get a kindle for christmas this year. I'm intrigued by the fire, but I may want to see reviews / play with one first before purchasing. The price point is good, I just need to know more about the functionality. | ||

The day the put that technology on an ordinary computer screen is the day we begin to really see the digital revolution take off. | ||

I've read for up to 3 hours with no strain on the eyes, it's indistinguishable from reading paper. And this was the main reason I bought a kindle: I hate reading text on a computer screen.
