Also it's really annoying dealing with hacked firmware every time there's a real update by the maker. I prefer hardware that is open by nature - much easier to work with. I think the Kindle Fire will have a huge market, but I personally would choose a device with access to the marketplace and the same specs.

Have you guys seen the Kobo Vox? Same price as the Kindle Fire, but more open.
