I was bone in 1932 so I was born in a world of now television and not computers or guided missiles or supersonic aircraft and know one knew of quarks and bosons. I was thirteen when the first Atomic bombs went off, throwing us into the Atomic Age. I became an engineer after I got back from fighting our Chinese friends in Korea and soon was buried in the world of electronic devices. My company made nose cones, a radar window for missiles, the substrates to for the very first broadcasting sattlelite, Telstar, and many other nuclear and electrical and mechanical ceramics.
I can remember Sputnik poking around the earth and wondering why it went in one direction and then the other but soon realizing that our earth was turning under its orbit. So when we were on one side of its orbit, it was going one way and when we were on the other side, it was going in the opposite direction.
When I was young they had this place where they stored books. It was called the library. I remember spending hours in the library with the goal to read every book. I never quite succeeded but I got close. Now days, most of us like to read and watch movies and such on an electronic device.
The Kindle Fire, Full Color 7" Multi-touch Display, Wi-Fi is a bare-bones device according to many reviewers which sells at a discounted, even a loss price to Amazon. The reason is that Amazon hopes that you will buy books, movies, games and what have you to make up for the loss. The Amazon Kindall Fire (Kindle, actually) if of high quality according to users when it comes to viewing text and movies.
They say that you can't sell a negative, but I'm not in the B.S. business. Some users don't like that it doesn't have this or it doesn't have that. Well there is over six (6) gs of usable storage which one owner still didn't like because he goes on ten hour flights and can stand to stare at the screen of a miniature computer for that long. He must be blind by now. Some say it doesn't have a USB port or a place to slide in a memory card.
I have this tiny violin here playing, "My Heart Bleeds for You."
I'm being a little sarcastic. But with the low price and used ones being even lower in cost, this baby will allow a lot of people to read books and watch movies and play games or whatever. The model may disappear with new models continually coming out, but in the meantime, you will have what you want and need, won't you?
One reader said the glass is very strong and scratch resistant. That would be good. Nobody wants a scratchy glass or a cracked one for that matter. It is a little bit larger and a little bit smaller than some other hand computing device. Some think it is too small, others too heavy. Well, Amazon probably knew they couldn't please every one on every little thing but the low price.
There are plenty of reviews on this product. You should read a few of the many review before you buy one. I haven’t written a review yet. I think you should use a device for a while before you review it. My daughter in law here in Idaho loves to read books on her small book reading computer. Maybe everyone should have one.
