I'm an apple fanboy & an amazon fanboy. I want to buy a fire but already have 3 iPads. SD card slot, bah. Easily understood why they didn't include. It's not because of cost. The fire is a gateway to all of their cloud services. 8GB is just enough to get away with. Majority of users aren't gonna know what to do with an SD card slot, amazon knows this, they have to know it. The geeks like us who would want the slot are few & far between, a small % that it's not even a thought to include. Just trying to look at it from a rational, business point if view. Kindle fire will be a content consumption device, amazons content, via the cloud of course.
