If you concept the Kindle Fire was going to be just another e-reader, it's time to take a closer look. Price is going to be a big attraction for this transportable media tablet; 9 will give buyers a product comparable to the Apple iPad2 for less than half the price, which hovers in the 0+ range.
What Can You Do on a Kindle Fire

All this, on one gismo that costs 9.

Compared to Other Kindles
The main differences in the middle of the Fire and other Kindle models are the color screen, of course, its movie and Tv show viewing capabilities, its potential to use apps, play games, and stream music. It has more on-device storage, and the only other Kindle with a multi-touch screen is the Kindle Touch e-reader.
It is easy to understand what a big success Fire is staggering to be when one considers the customary Kindle release. In 2007, many were disappointed to find the first Kindle was not an iPad2 contender at all; 9 was a steep price to pay for a puny e-reader with no touch screen. The only Kindle in that price range today is 3G Dx, which is still an e-reader but with a larger screen (9.7").
The apps are going to be the big divergence that sets Fire apart from the other Kindles. Lack of them has been a big theorize why other tablet devices have been slow to catch on. The Amazon App store provides users with in fact thousands of Android games and apps, along with a free app of the day.
With the holidays advent up and the Kindle Fire to be released in mid-November, it looks to be a real iPad contender for Christmas shoppers. Its likeness to the Apple tablet in expanding to its much lower price tag will only sweeten the pot for Fire's success.
There are some Apple diehards that want Apple and nothing else and they are willing to pay for it. Newcomers to the tablet world can now afford to get their feet wet with a price tag just under 0.
The Fire is not 3G but Wi-Fi, which means you will be able to browse the internet and download content everywhere you have a wireless connection.
I in fact don't think anything on your shopping list will be disappointed to find a Kindle Fire under the tree this holiday season. At that price, you might want to pick one up for yourself as well.
