Anybody have one of these? I'm thinking about getting one. I haven't really been interested in getting a tablet like the Ipad...too expensive IMO. But this thing is only $199. Seems like a great deal.

If you have one, how is it? Can you read easily outside? Like on the beach for example. I've heard the other Kindles are great for outdoor reading, not sure about this one though.

You cant read the fire outside, the sunlight washes it out. I wanted one, but I'd mainly use it for reading. Just reading one in the store for more than a few minutes hurt my eyes (backlit). I got a gen 3 kindle with keypad instead.

Look at the Nook Color, too.

I don't know...I think the Kindle Fire has better multimedia options. 90% of the time i'll probably be reading books but Amazon has a great selection of movies, music, and TV shows.

Here's the difference, you can root a Nook and it just because a rooted Android tablet. You can't do that with a Kindle Fire.

The Fire is probably fine for normal users. I didn't like it (my nephew has one) in terms of how restrictive it is, and the browsing (Silk browser goes through their servers first, etc) was slow for me. Perhaps the kinks are out by now. Not having a SD Card for increased storage was a fail.

The nook may be solid if rooted, but I think you only get 1gb of space to do what YOU want, the rest is for buys.

I myself have a Toshiba Thrive, with SD card slot, usb, and HDMI out, and I've loved it.

Asus is dropping a $250 quad-core tablet within the year, and also the Novo Elf 7 is like $150, it's made in china but has very comparable hardware to the rest, and have Ice Cream Sandwich on it (plus, $150?).

All of these are way cheaper than the Ipad, which I believe is a big rip. In the coming year or two, most tablets minus Apple's will be very affordable.

I got my girlfriend a Fire for Christmas and she loves it--she uses it for reading inside and browsing Facebook/Pinterest and hardly anything else. I couldn't ever part with my iPad 2, but Fire is a decent enough little gadget and the price is just killer for what you get.

the expansion cards for nooks are dirt fuging cheap like 4gb for 10$ or some poo

Regular SD cards, anywhere on the net, are like $13 for 16gb the last few weeks.

Fire doesn't have this option, huge reason why I lost interest in it.

If people can wait, the ASUS $250 will be the best bet anywhere, with hardware that is way better than anything on the market.

      Winning isn't enough for Panther fans.

      Winning games and be a +500 team are good. But the goal is to win Super Bowl.  Chiefs had Alex Smith, went to playoff twice and still replaced him.   BY as of now: - To many fumbles - Completion in the intermediate range is just far below acceptable - Not enough of a deep throw threat....   The stats you try use is deceiving.  Catchable......  That is an opinion. Show me the completion %. And also, how does BY compare to other QBs using the stats you cited. Oh... ranked at 27

      The Entitlement Paradox: When Winning Isn't Enough for Panther fans.    Just the other season(s) we were praying for wins by any means. Brought in every run of the mill QB you could think of.  We know all sides of the ball was bad like egregious bad. However some how we have won 5 games and TOXIC ENTITLEMENT has emerged.    We are a team that has to take wins by anymeans nothing has changed. Keep pounding means it aint gonna be perfect!!    Some panther fans have now developed a toxic entitlement where even victories feel insufficient, demanding flawless performance, or perfection, which stems from historical success in which we dont have any lol. This mindset poisons communities by fostering relentless criticism, harassment, and ingratitude that undermine team morale and alienate casual supporters. For the new Carolina Panthers, this could manifest as fans booing Bryce Young after gritty wins for low passing yards despite low turnovers, pressuring tepper into premature changes mid-rebuild, or driving away talent through online abuse!! eroding the positive momentum from their recent 4-game streak has brought us. Trust and believe the players do see your toxicity.    Anyways here are some positive stats.      Most Accurate QB on... 20+ Yard Throws 1. Drake Maye (79.2%) 2. Sam Darnold (79.2%) 3. Bryce Young (75.0%) 10-19 Yard Throws 1. Jaxson Dart (88.0%) 2. Jayden Daniels (82.9%) 3. Drake Maye (80.7%) 0-9 Yard Throws 1. Drake Maye (92.9%) 2. Spencer Rattler (92.6%) 3. Bryce Young (91.7%) @FantasyPtsData
