i have my kindle fire and enjoy it as an e-reader and way to watch videos, its pretty easy to use like an ipad but even more restricted than the ipad.
the downsides i feel with the kindle are, 1 the keyboard is much less accurate then on any mobile device ive had, the wifi receiver strength is pretty week it has about 1/3rd of the range that all our other android and ios devices have.
is it a good $200 tablet yes. but doesnt even hold a candle to my wifes Transformer t300f that cost her $360 on sale. if you plan on her JUST reading ebooks and watching amazon videos then go for it. but if you want her to access anything else have her go to Ipad.
also one thing my wife and i have both notices is that when i upgraded my tiny cellphone to a Samsung G S 2 with 4.52 inch screen i stopped reading on my kindle fire. and my wife is upgrading her phone to the Samsung Galaxy s 3 with its 4.8 inch screen. she doesnt use her transformer (with dock) as a media consumption device. it has replaced her laptop completly for her CME buisness trips
