Amazon Kindle Fire – I Just Bought One

I bought one.   I read about and pre-purchased the new Kindle Fire, Full Color 7″ Multi-touch Display, Wi-Fi tablet computer from Amazon.  At only $199, it was a steal- especially compared to the iPad that starts at $500.

This is a real tablet computer that runs real apps, plays real movies, connects to the Amazon library of Movies and TV shows, and allows our family to play games, read books, etc.  I can’t believe the price- its really just unheard of.

What made me buy the Kindle Fire

So, you have kids, right?  We have a pile- age 16 to 4.  Every single one of our gang has had an experience where they’ve felt out of place because they don’t have the fanciest technology- be it at school, waiting around at football practice for a big brother, or just at home when they see 145,762 commercials about digital content, smartphones, and, well whatever.

I don’t want my kids to be behind, or not know what to do when they are thrust into using a digital device and feel dumb because they don’t know where to start.  That’s why we bought this Kindle device.  Mind you, it won’t be bad t be able to check email, run presentations for work, and share photos with friends and family either when at home, or at McDonalds, or at Grandma’s house out in Streetsboro.
