Quoting Mark Keating <m.keat...@shadowcat.co.uk>:
I would like some informed opinion on the Kindle Fire, a friend is
thinking of buying one as a gift for a partner, I could use the
review sites but I don't know those people, I do know and like (hey
LPW is still bubbling through my veins forgive the crush) you people.
So, good idea, bad idea? Is there something better for the same-ish
cost that isn't breaking the bank iPad mini level (I like the Nexus
personally but don't own one).
Your responses are thanked for in advance.
I don't know anyone who has bought a Kindle Fire.
I know many people who have bought a Nexus 7. None of them regret that
decision.
I can't really see any reason to choose the Kindle Fire over the Nexus
7. You can install the Kindle app on the N7 and then anything that you
can do on the Kindle Fire.
Looks like the cheapest Kindle Fire is about £30 cheaper than the
cheapest N7. For that saving you seem to get tied more tightly into
the Amazon ecosystem.
I'd recommend the Nexus 7 every time.
