Good evening.
I've zero interest in the Fire - it's not targeted at me and above all, I'm old fashioned, locally stored high quality vid is my choice - but I can certainly see it succeeding. The only thing I struggle to get my head around is the combo of low storage capacity and wifi only. Streaming/cloud is a big part of Amazon's strategy but doesn't the lack of 3G seriously hamper this functionality? I can understand the reasons of it being omitted - hardware cost and perhaps people's unwillingness to get tied into another data plan - but there being no option of the upsell surprises me. 3G option to come later mayhaps?

Just wondering: do we really need a separate forum for this? We could just have tags to indicate the genre of thread topic, assuming we could come up with a reasonable set of them (K1, K2, K3, K4, KTouch, KFire). Topics of general Kindle interest of course would not need a tag. This seems to work ok on the Nook and Apple forums, and I like not having to scan 2 or more forums when 1 will do..
Just a thought, belated though it may be. |
