Though I love my Fire, I hope this discussion and that commercial are not the sole basis for your decision. Sit down and think about why you want a tablet...

1) make a list of all the things you want to do with the tab
2) list any deal breakers (battery life, dimensions, memory, killer apps)
3) make a list of all the apps that will do the things in #1 well enough
4) make a list of all the devices that will run apps from #3
5) set a budget
6) cross off items from #5 that violate #2, #4, or #5
7) go touch each remaining device
8) read reviews of each remaining device
9) shop price on the devices that are on your short list

if you can go through this process, you will likely be happy with your choice.
