Another cool thing (or annoying thing, depending on what you like) is that you occasionally receive offers just for kindle users on your kindle fire. I got a Keurig and 40 k-cups for $20 the other day as an offer for just kindle users

I wanted to get H a tablet for his birthday (the 26th of this month... but I already gave him the present since I can't ever keep a secret). I was looking at tablets that would do what he would use it for, and I kept coming up with a Kindle Fire HD thing being the best value. I need a tablet that has different ways to put things on the flat screen and an option for a key board, bigger screen for passing back and forth in meetings, etc., but H will just play games, look up things online, and maybe read a little (less than I wish LOL!).

So, I got him one of the bigger Kindle Fire HD's and it arrived on Friday. I set it up and loaded it with stuff I thought he'd enjoy and was really happy to see how easy it was to set up and that because I ordered it, it had on "his" cloud all the Audible audio books I ever bought. Also every Kindle edition of a book I've bought (a few for business and some magazines). LOVE it!!! It is really a good value for the money IMO and H is having a blast playing with it

Kindle fires are great. I got one of the first ones, not HD or anything and I love it. I put some favorite movies on it, downloaded scrabble and a few games and lots of books. It is great to use when waiting for anything. I admit to making some family members laugh when I carry it into the bathroom for some fast news reading. Very handy. I bought my zip cover at walmart and it works good to keep it padded and protected and to give me a decent grip so I don't drop it.

good choice. I really love being able to preview books before I buy them. I have had many books that sounded good from reading the dust cover only to decide not to buy after reading the sample download. Very nice feature.
