The one thing that really bothers me the most is that the Kindle app will not allow you to get Fire only consumables like the graphic novels. Not sure who to complain to so I haven't started complaining. The 32gb a500 for $230 is a screaming deal, wish I had purchased one of the 8GB to have that same deal land in my lap, 32GB would do everything I could ever think to need without having to add an SD card.

Rumor is that we will be getting Android 4 in January, might take 6 months to roll around to the USA as I just got the 3.2.1 update that Europe has had since May. Overall I'm still extremely pleased with my 16gb a500 that I got used for $260.

Also consider that these a100 and a500 models should drop in price soon, the 700 series is on the way which will be a quad core processor so these old dinosaur dual cores are destined to an early death.

FYI, I get charged tax on pretty much every Amazon purchase I make, so not a real deal maker for some of us. They must have a warehouse or maybe a college bookstore in my state.
