I got a Kindle Fire for Christmas too and I love it! I find myself doing everything else other then reading on it though, but I'm ok with that! I was so excited to show it off the day after Christmas that I took it out with me and accidentally dropped it on concrete. There is a pretty good scratch that I can see when I read or watch a movie and a chip near the side of the screen, and all the corners are roughed up. It could have been worse, but I'm really upset with myself anyway. I'm usually so careful with my devices and I usually leave them home until I get a case or cover for them
