Hmm, well I like the fire quite a bit (I'm using it to play games,read in bed at night (the ipad has been pretty large to bring into the bed with a cuddling girlfriend) and having something larger then my phone to use while commuting); there are some minor software bugs here or there (which can be sadly expected a day or two into release) but nothing I don't think will be fixed in time as amazon has a lot of it's prestige riding on the fire

side note unrelated to this specific review.. a lot of the folks reviewing the fire have iOS and it's current ecosystem ingrained into their minds and switching to a different platform can be very jarring and confusing and I think a lot of that is slipping into these reviews.
