I'm late to the party, but I'm awaiting delivery of the pink one. And I know it was a silly purchase, but just could not resist.
My theory is that it'll be my go everywhere, do everything device. When I go to work, I'm clanking from the noise of all the devices that I'm toting. 350 in case some time opens up and I can read, Nexus 7 for personal surfing on the fly, iPod Touch for audiobooks in the car, sometimes a bigger tablet instead of the Nexus. But that's way too much gear for when I'm out and about and I plan to load the 6" Fire with a few audiobooks and a select library and I'll toss it in my purse and be done.
I know this is silly. I'm ascribing a lot of value to the inch saved from my Nexus, which I love. I already sort of know the new Fire will be kind of thick and heavy and I don't love the closed aspect and my first gen Fire is my least-liked gadget. Maybe the purty colors got me.
