Kindle Fire Review
So, an Android tablet, with an even more confused UI, an even worse app selection (coupled with a developer-hostile enviroment) and mediocre & limited hardware. All this is attached, however, to a pleasant content purchase & use experience and, most importantly, a $200 price tag.
The big question is: is it any good at doing the things that, say, an equally expensive iPod Touch can’t do? It’s better for videos, but the iPod Touch is the perfect size for reading novels.1 The Playbook Kindle Fire is probably decent for taking notes, though, if someone writes a decent note-taking app for it.
It’ll be interesting to see how this goes.

I know I’m probably the only one who thinks this, but I can’t understand why - it’s perfectly easy to read, small enough that you don’t have to scan with your eyes from left to right very often, and turning pages couldn’t be easier to do. ↩
