"If it does what you want, and the price is right, there's nothing "foolish" about buying it. Not everybody always wants the "latest and greatest". Don't you think it's just a little rude to classify all those who are buying Kindle Fire's as "fools"?"
I agree with this completely
Intelligent Consumers(not sheep) should make buying decisions based on their current needs and current ability to pay the current price for the item being sold..period.

This notion of being afraid to buy 7 month old
Device out of fear of not having the latest iteration is the kind of foolishness that makes people spend their money unnecessarily over a few new bullet points on a "new feature" list.

When the version they have is providing more than all of the functionality they actually need.

I am NOT a "Brand Loyalist" banking on Amazon to keep me on the cutting edge

For me personally, if I really needed a camera,input Mic, HMDI& an additional SD car slot I would have never bought the kindle fire in the first place.

I would have gotten one of the samsung offerings.

If I wanted a big 10 inch device that was not that much more portable than my cumbersome 13 inch Macbook I would have gotten an Ipad from the start.

But I like carrying my Comic books, Sci fi novels, Religious books ,3D video games ,professional animation Demo reel,professional Illustration portfolio Digital Sketchpad web& email access and occasion movie,

All in a Device that fits easily in the thigh pocket of my knee length "cargo shorts".

But to each their own
