I was initially enthused about the Fire, but then it became for me like the Instapaper guy Marco, who said it wasn't enjoyable and easy to use, so he wouldn't end up using it. I also found it to be a fingerprint magnet and to have worse glare than any device I've used, so I returned mine. Plus, I've already used my month of Prime membership to buy a lot of stuff I don't need, so I'd end up paying much more than an ipad price ultimately for the Fire anyway.

I picked up a Nook Tablet, though, which I'm loving so far--it feels like a second-generation product, instead of rushed out the door, as the Fire and initial Nook Color felt to me. Between gift card promos and credit card cashback, the price was close to $200 anyway, but I'd pay an extra $50 just for the sharpness of the Netflix streaming anyway.
I'd return the KF before the NT but I'm probably going to end up keeping both!

I thought about it. But wife's face after making same comment, made me reconsider, hahahaha...

Didn't want the Nook broken on my head, lol ...

The easiest return regardless that it is an e-reader?

No contest. Best Buy is 5 minutes away and I have till January 24th. I can return it for any reason, even just saying I got tired of playing with this toy!

I've received conflicting info regarding return of the Fire. One store told me it's considered a "tablet" and therefore the extended holiday return period doesn't apply. Lumped in with computers and the other stuff which only gets you a 14-day return period. Unless you are referring to Premier Silver membership.

Bought mine in Target and they give a full month. They reminded me that after exchanging 1st one because the power issue.

They were running out of stock when I got the replacement.

I told the clerk it was going to be a gift and got a receipt for that specifically. I don't know if one just gets the regular purchase receipt if the extended holiday return would apply to tell the truth for a tablet.

The only issue though perhaps is if it is returned opened with a gift receipt, BB may only give store credit but I'm unsure of that.

I bought the NC last year and I didn't have any trouble returning it opened to BB during the extended holiday period from what I remember with the original purchase receipt afterwards.

Thanks for the heads-up though. I don't think it is going to matter for me personally because for $200 even though I have other tablets I feel I'm going to keep it.

BTW, way is it "how many being returned to Amazon"?

There are plenty of resources to buy this so is it relevant? Is it going to be tracked overall which I feel is most important than just returns to Amazon?

Confirmed yesterday at BB that if you purchase a tablet, you get 14 days "after" XMAS to return it and it can be opened. No restocking fee and you don't need a gift receipt to do so for the return.

i just tried my older kf with office pro and then got it for the ipad mini
theres no difference what so ever!

its the first app i could do a like for like with an app

i do prefer it on the kindle as the ipad seems to be freezing up since os 8 and os8.1
but to be honest there no difference unless it screen size ur after and even them i dont think it worth it

idn why anyone tries to do a vs reviews as at the end of the day the reviwer is not using the kf as much as me. and to be honest

would i have 2 amazon devices
2 kindle 2 and 2 kindle keyboard in total if they were rubish . nope


btw we have 2 ipad mini so think that say who is best
but im not comparing like for like

I read Amazon was giving away Fire tablets with their Fire phone to try and move the phone. The fact they were giving away the tablets suggests they at least have stock they are having trouble moving.

Amazon is trying to enter and thrive in already saturated markets recently. I'm thinking tablets and phones. We know the phone attempt is a disaster. The tablet market is pretty glutted, too. They may have warehouses of the things collecting dust. Amazon does seem to be wrong-footing it a bit lately.

This topic is based on an article from 2011, when the 1st gen Fire was released. It has absolutely no relevance to current products.
