I look at it this way, tablets have become commodity items -- especially Amazon tablets. Pretty decent hands-on review (one of the first I've seen) of this tablet from -- I think -- a British source.

Here's what they say about the screen (definitely not that $40 DigiLand tablet) ...

Aside from the chunky frame giving the screen a slightly recessed look, the Fire's 7-inch, 1024 x 600 pixel IPS panel provides pleasingly detailed results. Given that image quality is usually the first thing on the chopping block when the prices come tumbling, this makes for a nice surprise.
Offering image quality equal to devices two or three times its price, the Fire's modest 171PPI resolution offers decent visuals by any standard, and outstanding results for the cost. There is some notable pixellation to text, making reading a little tricky, but image-viewing and movie-watching is perfectly acceptable for casual use.

EDIT: Another hands on review from a British source (they must have gotten them sooner) ...
