It has disappointed me, and others. Will a lot of people buy it? Sure. The problem for Amazon will be if Nook provides some of those missing elements. That is why they were successful before against the Kindle. They had a SD card slot, and other things.
If Nook comes along and has in its took-kit those items, then that will allow Nook to encroach into the Kindle sales, which so far, if I might remind you, for the Fire, are "pre" sales.
I can see a lot of cancellations or returns occurring.
Have you preordered your Fire?
Oh, by the way, I returned that faulty compass and got one without the bubbles. My friend Amazon always comes through.

I still keep asking the same question. What audio and video content is Barnes and Noble going to offer. That's what it comes down to for folks who are buying the Kindle Fire. They're attracted to Amazon's ecosystem. They're not going to give that up and flock to Barnes and Noble all of a sudden simply for an SD card slot. If that's the case they would've bought a NOOKcolor. People are buying the Kindle Fire for themselves, their kids, grandkids, parents, etc. Many have no intention of rooting it. Those who are moaning and groaning about lack of SD card slot aren't the target audience.
