Andrew, the people here at Mobileread are not the masses that advertising is aimed at. I don't care how Amazon markets the Fire. We are, and here I use a two-dollar word "eclectic." I like that word for my wives and "others" as well.
I look at what it is and what it does and finally how it fits my needs.
The new Nook Color is more a tablet than the Fire because it has more ability to be general purpose. It is still lacking though.
Other than on the tablet comparisons, the Fire will be successful because it is superb at media consumption when used in unison with Amazon's environment, and that is Jeff Bezos's plan.
