just arrived
We our first pair arrived and I am working on getting the Kindle Fire 7 set up for a friend who is an older lady.
First off it does not work on my local libraries unsecured network correctly, I decided to pull it out while I was waiting for my cousin and it ran like crap and could not get it to connect to it. I finally gave up and waited until I got home to try again.
I noted that when I incorrectly entered my wi-fi password is that it just tries over and over to reconnect without ever giving you the message that your password is incorrect! You have to tell it to forget your password and re-enter it. That problem solved I was able to download some apps and other stuff for the Fire without too much problem.
It feels like the original Fire to me in its boxy shape and slightly thicker profile than the Fire HDX that I have. The cases material is a matte plastic that feels different than my Fire HDX which is more glossy. I like the location of the charging port at the top instead of the side. I did not overly notice the difference in DPI yet, but still trying to figure out all the new stuff.
It has a new user interface which is not impressing me. I can't seem to figure out how to remove a bunch of the pre-installed icons on the home screen which was on the requests of my friends (she likes as few icons as possible).
Anyway that is my initial thoughts, hopefully my own one will arrive on Monday!
