Kindle Fire

Have any of you thought about an app for the Kindle Fire? The web site works great, but an app would be quicker and easier. Just a thought, thanks for a great site guys!

Why would they make an app for the one person that owns one?

Well, it really depends. An iPad is going to cost you $500+. The fire is $200 and does a lot of the same things. You have to decide what you will use it for and then decide how much you want to spend.

Thanks... I need to do some research. I know I want a tablet or something of the sort. The iPad is really expensive. You like the Kindle?

Yeah considering that I already have a laptop and a smart phone I don't need the other things the iPad offers. The kindle can do netflix, hulu, e-mail, web browsing etc.

IMHO, my iPad2 does not do enough and I can only imagine how much a $200 Kindle Fire does (or doesn't do).

Then you need a laptop, not a tablet.

I want to blog and edit my photography... I can do it on my laptop but think I should just spend that money on a MacBook or something.

You are absolutely, 100% correct!

I am not into apps and this lump of electronics is too big to carry around.

I have learned my lesson.

Kindle Fire is running Android with a heavy Amazon skin over it. There are ways to side-load apps, but they were broken with the latest update. You'll need to hack/root it to allow for that. I got my g/f one for Christmas and she's already asking me to root it for her.
