We have four Fires and a Kindle. I travel with my Kindle and use it by the pool or at the beach. We (two adults and two kids) each have a Fire for everyday use. My Fires were 3x160 plus 1x150 and the Kindle was 79, so the cost for this bliss was $710. I won't do the math for replacing these with the table that shall not be named, but that is the point of the commercial.

And to think that just two years ago, Kindles and Nooks were selling for $259. |

I just bought two Fires for my mom and my dad. Luckily, they didn't expect Ipads so I made the right decision.

I'd be perfectly happy with my iPod Touch and a Fire :P I have all the Apple apps on my Touch and a dedicated reader in the Fire, while also being able to still play Angry Birds and check my Facebook/email.

I have an iPad and while I wouldn't trade it for a Kindle Fire, I have to say that commercial was darned witty. Now a Transformer Prime with ICS, that's a different matter. |
