Just caught this on the News. I have a kindle and use it as a "book"......at £130 for a "tablet" which I can use to browse the net on the loo seems a no-brainer

I'd definitely have one of these if I didn't have an iPad. Best alternative yet.

Seems interesting, will probably be £199 when released over here though. It cuts out all the stuff I'm not bothered about in a tablet such as camera and GPS.

It's a strange thing, because I think the iPad is too big to be convenient, but I think this may be just that too bit small to satisfy! There's just no pleasing some people...........

That said, I love my Kindle and that has a smaller screen than this, so my interest is definitely piqued!

I love my kindle aswell, i take it to work everyday where it gets dropped and chucked about and it's not broken yet, i'm quite impressed by it, nice simple device which does what it says on the tin

Got to say that this looks VERY appealing - could certainly strike up concern with the competitors: especially the price.

Something that 50% of the iPad price, yet does roughly the same thing. Android tablets should be worried. Not Apple, as iPad is a premium-device that people will pay for.

Everybody else? hmmmm

Same form factor as my Samsung Galaxy Tab so it should be a winner.

I find the Galaxy Tab a perfect size for running the Kindle app on (its main usage), so this Fire gadget will be fantastic. I have tried the Kindle app on our iPad but it is just too big for reading for long periods.

Our eldest has held out all this time to get an e-reader of some sort, he nearly went for a Kindle last month but is now waiting for the Fire with great interest.
