Kindle Fire Not an iPad Killer After All

November 18, 2011Erik Kain

Marco Arment’s review of the Kindle Fire is scathing: I expected the Kindle Fire to be a compelling iPad alternative, but I can’t call it delightful, fun, or pleasant to use. Quite the opposite, actually: using the Fire is frustrating and unpleasant, and it feels like work. For most people, every other computer in their […]

More Reasons to Buy a Kindle Fire

September 29, 2011Erik Kain

Over at Balloon Juice, mistermix calls the Kindle Fire a “compelling device”: One of the interesting points about the Fire is that Prime members ($79/year) have access to a huge library of streaming video on the device.
