I really like my Kindle Fire and have read 15 books with about 10,000 pages on it since I got it last year.

However ... if Apple came out with a 7" "mini iPad" for, say, 300$, I'd get that in a heartbeat (and presumably sell the Kindle Fire), simply to have the the ease of one application system on my devices, the possibility to use an app once bought also on the others etc.

I have not seen a single app on the Amazon android store that was not available for the iPad and so good that I really would want to have it there. OTOH, there are A LOT of iPhone/iPad apps that I really miss on Android. OK, that might be because I had my iPad much longer (got it when it came out and had the iPod touch before) than the KF, but IMO the software available in the Amazon Marketplace is very limited.

Best regards,
Andy
