While reviews and polls are a good way to measure some trends, they are by no means, any scientific or statistical tool that truly tell the whole story.

I am not so sure if the Kindle Fire has been a success for Amazon or not, but in my opinion, any technical writer that started his article comparing the Fire against iPad , just does not deserve my attention.

The Fire is not a 10", has a difference price range and is focused to a different market. Period, end of story!

If there is any similar device which we should or can compare, it could be the new Nook Tablet.
