The other day I hinted to the wife that I wanted a Kindle Fire for Christmas. I know, I know, . . . regular readers will howl about how I have not been the greatest fan of tablets for reading in past posts, but having read a few reviews (here and here)I think I would like one.
Despite the rather rough review from PC World, having read it, I realize that the things that the Mellissa Perenson says are the shortcomings for the Fire are the very things I don't want. I don't want a tablet, I want an e-reader that provides more functionality for reading periodicals and books. If I wanted a tablet I'd go with the iPad. I don't. I want an e-reader. What I like the most? What Miss Perenson says here, is what I'm looking for.
"The Fire's integration with Amazon's media storefronts is, bar none, the best thing about this tablet. Rather than giving you one place to shop and another to use your digital media, Amazon consolidates those experiences into one."
That and my existing libarary of content, and I'll be happy.
