I’m curious to see how this plays out. The e-ink Kindle has a unique (perfect?) form factor and delivers a pretty good experience. The Kindle Fire has a more generic form factor (perhaps too small for certain uses?) and delivers a varied experience depending on what you’re doing. I appreciate what Amazon is trying to do here: good tablet experiences shouldn’t cost as much as much higher performing computing devices, and cheap tablets shouldn’t sacrifice everything to get there. The Kindle Fire is Amazon’s first attempt at bridging the gap between those two extremes. It’s the best out today given its price point, but it’s not the best Amazon could have done. I’m waiting for round two.
