Another negative with the Fire is that it is 70% as heavier than a Kindle3, over twice as heavy at the basic "Kindle" (aka Kindle4 or Kindle4NT). Its not that its heavy for its class; its just that the newer eInk ereaders have become very light compared to any of the similar sized tablets.

Kindle 1 = 10.3oz
Kindle 3 (aka Kindle Keyboard) = 8.5oz WiFi (8.7oz WiFi+3g)
Kindle 4 = 6oz
Kindle Touch (5) = 7.5oz WiFi (7.8oz WiFi+3g)
Kindle Fire = 14.6oz
