The Fire for me is only for emergency web access somewhere a real computer is not available. Doesn't come up very often. So I really hope eink doesn't go away since I use my kindle constantly.
Isn't there anyone else who hates using tablets? Any tablet any size?

The only time I use my tablet is for reading magazines when traveling. And last time I flew, I didn't even bother taking it. I used to use it more, until I realized I didn't really like it that much. These days I use the Zinio Desktop Reader for magazines on my laptop instead.
I can certainly see why a lot of people use them, but it just doesn't fit my usage patterns or preferences. Even my android phone - handy in a pinch, but the most-used app on it is the calculator. Most of the things these mobile devices are good at are things I don't need, or at least not in a mobile form factor.
