I just got my Fire yesterday, and I'm not taking any chances. If I don't see a better way to manage content than favorites and the stupid carousel within 30 days, it's going back to Amazon. Why is it so hard for Amazon to understand that for people that have a lot of books, there needs to be a way to manage them. In a way, I'm getting penalized by buying from Amazon - the more books I buy, the more cluttered interface becomes.

I bought a DXG but returned it within 3 weeks. I'm glad I did as the K3 which came out a few weeks later was much more advanced. The whole DX model line never caught on with schools and colleges so Amazon quickly abandoned any idea of upgrades. I'm really surprised that they continue to sell them.
