Kindle Fire

I'm thinking about getting one of these as a Christmas gift - does anyone have one? Any thoughts or reviews? Also, I checked with the Urbandale library, and from what I can tell, I would need access to a PC in order to access the library materials on the kindle.  I am an Apple user, so this would pose a problem.  Any experiences with library materials on an e-reader? 

Re: Kindle Fire

  • My sister has one and loves it.   She has an Apple laptop, and I haven't heard her say she's had problems.  
  • DH bought one a couple weeks ago and we both LOVE IT!  I really didn't think I would like reading on one, but I really do enjoy it and it seems I read books much faster that way.  I also like that its smaller for Sophia to play games on versus the iPad.

  • DH got me one for my birthday and I really like it.  You can check email, facebook, all websites (with internet connection), and there are a lot of apps too.  Oliver plays games on it.  I love reading with it- I like that its small enough to carry in my purse and but larger than my droid phone (which I also use to read books on- or did).  I found a lot of free books through amazon or other sites.  I check out e-books from the library.  They go to my amazon account on my computer and then it downloads it directly to my kindle.  Its easy and free.  I think that if I were an apple user I'd probably stick with apple products though.  I'm a big amazon user and don't use apple products at all....
