The Goldilocks tablet: Why Amazon’s 7-inch Kindle Fire is ‘just right’
Rob Enderle December 3, 2011 By Rob Enderle

Neither too big nor too small, Amazon’s 7-inch Kindle Fire might just be the perfect third device for users who still have to juggle smartphones and notebooks.

The Kindle Fire is reported to be the top tablet at Best Buy this year, and Amazon is expected to sell 5 million in the fourth quarter against an estimated 13 million for the iPad. While Apple’s iPad remains the clear winner, if these projections hold up, the Kindle Fire will be the first tablet to come this close to challenging it.

The Fire has two clear differences to the iPad. The first is a dramatically lower price; you can effectively buy 2.5 Kindle Fires for the price of an iPad. The second is screen size; the Fire has a 7-inch screen, a size that most thought was a non-starter before it shipped. I’ve been using the Fire for two weeks now, exclusively on a three-day trip for entertainment, and I’m coming to love the 7-inch size. Let me explain.
