Only internet I do on my tablet is the occasional NPR news reading, check my email, maybe google up something like a product review, keep up on a forum (like this). I'm not going to be using it to stream anything or download android ROMs or download huge files or anything. Just do email/news/etc or maybe download/purchase a book on Smashwords or the like. Same reason I run on Virgin Mobile for $25/mo just fine - I'm not a mobile data junkie. I don't need it everywhere, all the time, with absolutely fantastic coverage, in unlimited amounts. |

Kindle w/ ads = $69 Kindle wo/ ads = $89 |

I don't see anything that I want to buy at the moment but I love reading the comments. I was surprised by more than a few.

Is the Fire HD a quad-core?

Because of the price, I was willing to put up with Amazon's nerfed launcher/app store shenanigans before the Nexus 7. Now I want nothing to do with their tablet offerings.

It costs me $30 a month for unlimited data 4G speeds on my phone, and I could tether another device to my phone. I don't see much point in spending an extra $200 for a 4G LTE capable tablet whose screen is also too small. I wonder if you can even get a more robust data plan for this new Kindle. My guess is probably not. |
