I agree with what your saying. I thought the prices were pretty fair. I know the ads are paying a much bigger part of the Fires than they do for the Kindles. I wonder how they price the ads on these devices. Anyone know how it works for the Kindle?

I will be interested to see the tear down once they are released. Besos stated they didn't want to lose money on the tablets.

For me I don't want adds for that amount of money. Most people probably won't care or may have different tolerance level. It is Friday and I'm tired and cranky so the news dump just annoyed me.
