Have you pre-ordered the Kindle Fire (poll)
Keeping it simple for now. This isn't about general or possible future interest in purchase (or disinterest), but a poll of those who have already decided prior to release. *It is merely a raw count of a particular decision, not an adversarial opinion poll or percentage measurement. It's just easier than asking without a poll and then manually counting from responses.
Neither could mean you aren't interested at all, or may still be deciding, but I just wanted to get a feel for how many jumped on Fire right away. If you are disinterested or hesitant, ok, feel free to comment as such to contribute to amusing discussion. I was going to put this in Kindle forums, but General seemed a better fit since the Fire could conceivably appeal to non traditional kindle owners. I set the poll to extend up until the day before release day, but I messed up my math. If a moderator would be so gracious as to change it to be open for votes until November 14th, that would be swell. If not, no biggie. Edit: If you're undecided but think there's a chance you'll order sometime before release, feel free to hold off your vote til later (since you cant change the vote later, I dont think).

Not planning on getting one any time soon, if at all, but then again, that's what I originally said about the iPhone, so who knows..... *shrug*

I'm happy with my 7" Galaxy Tab.
While the price of the Fire is attractive, it's got nothing I don't already have; plus a lot more. |

No, I never pre-order anything. And it's US only.
I might think about it when it have a price in euros. |

I don't need a giant cell-phone that can't make phone calls.

I'm still thinking about.
I'd like one, but I'd prefer a 10" screen, so maybe I'll wait. But, $200 is pretty cheap, so maybe I'll just get one. I'm also thinking about getting one for my kids for Christmas. I'm also thinking about the $79 Kindles for my niece and nephew. |

Lack of a definitive 'no' option is rather silly and biases the poll beyond all repair (and explaining the scope of 'Neither' in the OP doesn't help). I know I, for one, will never, EVER get a Kindle Fire, what with its browser being a man-in-the-middle by routing everything through its cloud servers - including SSL connections.

Neither. Other than books, I'm not a big fan of pre-ordering in general. I like to wait and see reviews from those who have used the item hands on. Too much marketing hype & spin these days. Besides, with other 7" tablets coming out soon, I'd rather wait and have some fun comparison shopping

I don't intend to buy one, though I think it's a great device. I'm happy with my stock Nook Color.

Well, besides being broke, I just really don't know what I would do with it.
I read on a K3. Games? I'm waiting to get one of those Sony Vitas. Movies/music? Too big, and I use my laptop for that. |
