Fire vs Tablets

Well, being a Canadian totally eliminates some of the options out there. I cannot get Amazon market, nor can I get amazon tunes, etc. I do not like to be fenced in, so Kindle, and the like annoy me. That is why I own android phones, instead of iphones, and have various ereaders. (One Kobo touch, and one Sony prs300) I have a Samsung Galaxy tab (the old 7 inch model) and love the versatility, along with the 3 g, on a month to month plan with Bell Mobility. I was seriously looking at the nook color, for all the strong processor, screen etc. I have used a resistive screen, and much prefer the capacitive screen on he gt, and my phones. I have dealt with the drm issue in the usual way, seeing as how I like cruciform veggies. (I love cabbages) This may not help your discussion re kindle fire vs other tabs, but understand that there are many cost effective options out there. It depends if you want to be penned in, or free to roam with your content.
