Good: small and handy with all I need in one place
Bad: battery life, doesn't come with a charger.
Comment: I adored my Kindle, so I jumped at the chance to upgrade to the Fire. I soon discovered lots of 'however,'.
It doesn't come with a charger plug/adapter, only a usb cable - which takes hours to charge via your computer /laptop. In fact, charging with a plug takes hours anyway and only gives back a max of about 10 hours use.
I cannot transfer my music to the device (although whilst connected to my laptop it states the music is there), and I cannot upload my music to the Cloud thingy (therefore I spend hours uploading my music to my selection of devices, which are all Andriod) . Oh and it doesn't come with a manual.
I hate the reading experience, the Kindle wipes the floor with its wonderful magic ink over the Fire backlight
But, it has all I need in one place - email, social networking, internet, games and music, easily bought from Amazon.
So, in my opinion, it Amazon needs to sort out the transferring difficulties and have the magic ink for me not to go meh and give it only a 3

Comment: I became very interested in Kindle Fire after seeing its price. It is ok to have smaller screen and to be heavier than i pad. But later I saw the white-black Kindle which cost only 89$s. Now I think simple Kindle is the cheapest and is the right one for reading ebooks.

Comment: I have got in touch with amazon and they have no plans of selling the kindle fire in the Uk and the American one will not work properly in the Uk. They teased us in to wanting one when they revealed it to the world but they have no plans to sell it around the world I think this is bad apple must be pleased about this.
