Location114 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 You have a point and i wont argue with that its just to me the kindle suits my needs in alot of ways, ways that other android tabs dont forefill But you can just install the kindle app, so I suppose its like having the MX5 with an option for economy, safety and cheap to buy.

Pidgeon Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 The fire uses cloud computing to do all the heavy processing and browsing away from the device, so you can produce a cheaper affordable device, but the downside is you need to be constantly on line.

Location114 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Which lets be honest on a device of this sort you will be its not something you buy to do your accounting. The fire uses cloud computing to do all the heavy processing and browsing away from the device, so you can produce a cheaper affordable device, but the downside is you need to be constantly on line.

discodown Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 But you can just install the kindle appNot quite the same thing. Reading off a tablet is not the same as reading off a kindle. In the same way as using the experimental web browser on the kindle isn't the same as using a web browser on a tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forumosaurus Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 its not called the IPAD 3, its called THE IPAD, get your facts right. If you're going to be pedantic and wrong, I'm going to have to pedantically correct you in saying it's called the 'new iPad' at the moment. OP, I see your logic but according the rumors online, Kindle Fire 2 will be released this year. In my opinion I think it's likely that they won't release the Kindle Fire in the UK and just wait until the Kindle Fire 2 comes out and release that here instead. Rumors online say the second Kindle Fire will be released between April and June so you can see why I believe they wont release the first Kindle Fire here when the new one is just around the corner. (Although I don't think it will be released until November). Apparently Amazon are ordering fewer e-ink displays and I think that's a huge nod to the fact that Kindle Fire 2 will be released in the UK.

In the same way as using the experimental web browser on the kindle isn't the same as using a web browser on a tablet Were talking about the kindle fire, it has an IPS capacitive touch screen, which is the same as many android tablets.

Someone will correct if i'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discodown Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I would have to disagree with that.I'm talking purely about the screen and how it reads rather than what it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonjon Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I'm talking purely about the screen and how it reads rather than what it does The screen is much closer to other tablets than a kindle e-ink screen as its the same screen as many android tabs.
