New Kindle Fire
Permalink  
 


Does anyone have the new, basic Kindle Fire?  The one they are selling for $49 bucks? They made a more basic, affordable tablet, and it's almost too good a price to resist.

I'm trying to decide whether to get it for DD for Christmas.  You can actually buy 6 for $250 if you want to hand them out for Christmas.  For a beginner tablet - that is such a great deal.

That is a great deal.

Although I didn't have a great experience with my kindle.

I had two.

Both of them messed up.

The screen looked like an etch a sketch gone crazy.

Lines everywhere.

DD had one. I kind of don't get the point really. Most people have phones, ipads, laptops. She really didn't use it as much as I had envisioned. But, at that price, then yes that might make a nice gift.

I'm debating getting DD one too. I've heard good things about it, but I don't know who else I would give them to if I bought 6..

I would give up my cell before I gave up my Kindle. I have the 2nd edition Kindle. I love it.

 The extra 4 would become very expensive paperweights.

I am going to talk to DH about doing it and giving them to his mom and brothers. Then there will only be two extra.

No device has the magic of an actual book.

Ever since Jeff Bezos decided to remove Confederate paraphernalia from Amazon, I support staying away from anything that is Amazon based, as the Fire is.

I would recommend, instead, a nice inexpensive Android based tablet. They can also be purchased in the $50 price range. I believe Walmart even carries a 7 inch one by RCA that has a keyboard.
