Thanks. I don't plan to root the new device (no promises on the old one). I'm just not sure if the increased screen real estate justifies the additional weight and heft of the unit. My son mostly uses the Fire for games and to surf the internet. He totes it around, but not in his pocket. I think the 7" Fire HD is a little big for a pocket anyway.

WillysJeepMan, do you have an 8.9" Fire HD? Is it heavy or bulky?
