UK prices starting at £229 for 16GB with special offers, which is pretty close to a USD->GBP + VAT conversion.
No sign of a cellular version. |

It's a great tablet for videos, magazines, and web browsing

It's getting harder for me to resist buying one of these.

Well, that unfortunately will probably mean that there is not much market share left for the B&N Nook tablets in Europe. B&N once again has waited too long.
Perhaps if they open up their tablets and add the Google play store they might have still a chance in Europe? |

Does anyone know of a good comics (cbr/cbz) reader on the amazon appstore?
The size of this larger kindle seems a good compromise between the 7" models that are a little smaller than I would like at times and the 10.1" w/s tablets that are fairly horrible to use in portrait mode. |

ACV doesn't seem to be available on the Amazon store. ComiCat seems to get good reviews, but I haven't used it: http://www.amazon.com/Meanlabs-Softw.../dp/B004UBB1HQ |

Oh, I have to stay off this site!! I just ordered the 8.9. I have a Samsung, but it doesn't have the graphic novel feature the Fire does. I absolutely love reading the Walking Dead novels where each panel pops out. It will be great for magazines, too.
