Amazon Kindle Fire Review

Looking to pick up the Kindle Fire for someone or maybe you want to treat yourself to something fun. You probably asking yourself is the Kindle Fire from Amazon better then the Ipad 2 or the Nook Tablet. The price is lower but does it do what I want it to ? I will be answering that question below and updating as new information come available.



 PROS


Price


1) $199 is a great price, Amazon actually loses $50 for every Kindle sold. They plan on making it up with the Kindle Store.



Vibrant, Well Designed Screen


2) The Kindle Fire come with a 7" Muti-touch screen This screen is an IPS LCD, which means users will be looking at near 170-degree+ viewing angles, and a total of sixteen million colors. The screen on the Kindle Fire will not disappoint users in the realms of brightness or color saturation.

 Kindle shoppers will be glade to know that the glass is made from and protect with Corning’s Gorilla Glass. That means if you were to drop in on a hard service like concrete that it will not shatter. A seven inch screen might seem small to some but the size is still ample enough to give the reader a great experience.


Integrated Amazon Store


Amazon has an extremely large library of movies, television shows, songs, magazines, and (of course) books. Amazon store is so deep with content that you will never get bored of the selections they have on hand.

Cons

1) No 3g or 4g coverage

 Most of us want a wireless data connection, some ever expect it. If you can't with with a device without it you should pass on the Kindle Fire.

2) No camera


 Most tablets have a built in camera. Some even have a front facing one for video chat.


3) No Android Market

 No Access to the Google android market. Probably not a that big of an issues since Amazon marketplace has some much content.


Conclusion : The Pros out weigh the Cons, If you are in the market for a tablet the Kindle Fire has to be on your list. The price, ease of use and the backing of the Amazon market make this a winner.
