The only thing that killed the Fire for me (and sadly I now own one, got it as a gift), is they reneged on their 1 year of Amazon Prime free deal. Now, you only get a month.

Screw that, the tablet is next to useless without Prime unless you like buying movies/tv shows that are DRMed up.

Also, why the hell does it have stereo speakers that are only on the left side of the device in landscape orientation? What use is stereo in portrait?

And on top of that, mine was shipped from Amazon with a defective LCD and now I have to deal with that.

Honestly, I am not impressed.
