I found the following article persuasive. I wasn't really in the market for the new HD 10 anyway, but now I won't be tempted by bargain madness. Don't get me wrong; I don't have any anti-Fire bias as my HD 8 is one of my most-used devices, but now I'd only get the HD 10 if it filled a real need, i.e., one of my current gadgets went paws up.

While I'm also not in the market for any kind of iPad at any price, I'll be better off taking the long view and planning to get a real Android replacement tablet down the line.
