It's been far too long since we heard anything about an update for the Fire from Amazon, and frankly, I'm beginning to get a little frustrated. The last update was supposed to be this major revision but basically it only fixed a couple of things, namely the lack of password protection and the option to control purchasing though the device. There are still loads of things that need to be fixed, like the "momentum" problem, the lack of page numbers, TTS, X-Ray and social media features in the Reader, the browser speed and compatibility issues, and of course the whole Cloud service that needs some serious revamping.

Don't get me wrong; I still like my Fire just fine. And I certainly appreciate that they're expanding services like the Prime Video and that they're working on their next bigger "Hollywood" device, but sometimes I feel like, after the whole hype of christmas sales in the millions, we're being forgotten. And that doesn't make me want to buy future Amazon products at all.
