I've played with a variety of tablets. Ipads in stores and I bought a Fire. I simply dislike the touch screen interface on all of these devices. I just can't control what happens. Either it doesn't register my touch, or I can't get the right link, I go to the link above or below what I was trying for then have to go back (repeatedly), Or instead of opening I zoom or the reverse, or I can't get a menu to open or once opened to go away. I've taken my Fire to work a number of times but I just get frustrated with it after wasting half my break trying to do something that should be simple like browse some web sites and not suceeding. Until they get an interface as precise and simple as a mouse where you can see on screen where you are pointing without activating anything and you have a choice of activating what is pointed at or bringing up a menu I'm not buying any tablet-like device. Why don't the screens show a mouse pointer anyway as you run your finger over the screens? Buttons are simple. It does one thing and always does what you expect it to do. And you don't have to move your hand.
