No matter. Probably best to wait for unpaid reviews to show up here.

Good point. For example, Pogue says his iPad has faster Wifi than the Fire HD. According to the Chicago Sun Times: DSLreports.com’s tablet speed test consistently shows the Fire HD transacting about 20 percent faster on the same two WiFi networks as my 2012 iPad.


The Chicago Sun Times wasn't as critical of the Fire either.
