Let me know how you like it if you end up with it before me.
The only thing I don't like about the fire, and I mean I'm really disappointed with, is that the battery life sucks. 8 hours...reading. This was a Kindle selling point before. My buddy's kindle goes a month with regular use. I'm very disappointed they couldn't bog things down in the background to keep the reader battery competitive. I mean, it's an e-reader at it's core.
