Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse... but you take a boat in the air that you don't love... she'll shake you off just as sure as the turn of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down... tells you she's hurting before she keels. Makes her a home.  -Mal

With Amazon's trade-in program, I can trade in my iPhone 4S and get enough credit to get a Galaxy SIII, a new Kindle Fire, and about half of a Paperwhite.

I doubt it will, but if this new Kindle flops it will be called the Kindle Paperweight.
And I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling.

Yo, Bezos! How come I can't order one yet? I'm seeing your face all over the internets holding one and I can't even find a reference to it on Amazon.com. Except for some enterprising Amazon sellers renaming their Kindle covers to Kindle Paperwhite covers.

Yeah, I'm wanting to go ahead and get in line for the preorder.  They have a history of slipping these out a bit early from time to time.

My mother-in-law is wanting a 7" tablet she can take w/her on trips so she can check email and whatnot.  I may just recommend the new $159 Fire to her.

I liked mine when I had it, wish I had not sold it. It is a really nice device. I like the iPad, but the Fire I could drop in my back pocket.

I am really weighing trading in the iPhone while I still can get such a deal on it. I mean I can get a much more advanced phone and an e-reader and a Fire, if I throw in another $40 or so.

I use my Fire mostly for streaming Netflix in bed when I am having a hard time sleeping. I haven't used it for reading at all.

Have you guys seen the new specs?  Supposedly 40% better than gen 1.

Although, I may just recommend her spending the extra $50 for the Fire HD @ $199.

'Bout frickin' time.

Haha.  Have you put in your order yet?
