I second this as well. Admittedly, most users will want their products to "just work" which is where Apple does a great job. The Fire is sluggish many times, the touch display is either too responsive or not responsive enough, and this can make the device very frustrating for the general public that Amazon is targeting with this device.

Is it a great deal at $199? Most definitely. Is it a premium product at a non-premium price? Most definitely NOT.

I think my Nook Tablet is leaps and bounds better than my Kindle Fire and definitely worth the $50 premium, but it's comparing a 2nd gen product with a 1st gen if anyone is keeping tabs.
