My mom is getting me one very big christmas present.?
ok so instead of getting 40 some Christmas gifts, my mother asked me what i would like from the family. my options are a tablet, a new computer, Console (360 broke only four months after i got it with my own money and now warranty), an updated ipod, and finally an E-Reader. so i have narrowed it down to two the new kindle fire and a new computer, what i need from you people are three things the first tell me what i should get from those two. if you pick the computer can you please leave a suggestion. and finally a reason why i should get it. thanks and please leave nothing like why dont you decide
remember to add details like the name of the computer our price range is under three hundred
the kindle fire is better then any other tablet it has a dual cor prosses ussege of android apps over 17 million movies and more on tv shows and music also can read book newspapers and magazines best part is the fact that you can get on the internet on the hd touch screen look it up before you awnser please
Answer: how about a new computer? the macbook pro is amazing, but pretty pricey. if your family doesnt have $1,000 to spend on a computer, acer and dells are good :)
i think there are a lot more things to do with a computer than a kindle (computer games, IM, etc)
hope i helped!

Should I get the Kindle Keyboard, or Fire?
So Im a 13 year old boy, and I like reading books. Im turning 14 december 29th. I have noticed that we have been buying a lot of books, and I have been running out of space for them. I have always wanted a kindle. I looked around and decided to get the Kindle Keyboard. I like the keyboard, and its battery life, but I saw that the kindle fire has more books on it, and it is a lot better. I read books like The lightning thief series, and etc. I wonder, I dont like the battery life of the kindle fire, but Im fighting wether to get keyboard, or fire, when it comes out. I want to know if books like the lightning theif series will be on the keyboard, or does the library not get updated, but the fire has more books. So which one should I get? Please give reasons too. Thanks :)
Answer: Hi, Dennis, Kindle Touch or Nook Simpletouch are e-Ink devices for reading and not video/web/apps while Kindle Fire or Nook Color are LCD screen devices for video/web/apps but not too much for reading. The only E-ink models I would take into consideration are Nook Simpletouch from Barnes & Noble and the new Kindle Touch (non-ad-supported) that both cost $139. Ad-supported Kindle models show full page ads to you (and everyone around you) every time they go to sleep mode and also show 2 line ads right there at your home screen - so annoying that Amazon even released a software that for $30 can convert ad-supported Kindle into non-ad-supported one. Non-touch screen Kindle models are such basic stone age devices (with page turn lag, buttons, and black blinks/flashes on each page turn) that I would not even speak about them. Nook (unlike Kindle) supports eBooks in ePub format that is the universal format most used in the world. Current e-Ink Nook Simpletouch has the latest generation touch screen display, no page turn lag, it weights less, its battery lasts twice as long (two months on one charge), it has microSD slot and it doesn't blink on each page turn - much better than current Kindle 3 or Kindle Keyboard. Nook Touch is still better designed than even the new Kindle Touch with battery lasting two months with ONE hour reading a day with Wi-Fi off thus it's still twice as long as new Kindle's two months with HALF and hour a day with Wi-Fi off. It looks like Kindle didn't get any battery improvement in the new model, they only changed the test condition. More, Kindle Touch still flashes black on each page turn while Nook Touch reduces the flashing by 80%. Nook Touch and Nook Color (unlike Kindle) have microSD card slot to take a card (class 6 or above) up to 32 GB. If you walk in with the Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you’re allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi.
Before you think of getting a Kindle Fire, here's some limitations of it that you need to consider:
- Kindle Fire doesn't have microSD slot that, for example, Nook Color has thus it is stuck with 6 GB usable internal storage unlike Nook Color that can get up to 32 GB card in. Kindles are made to make sure you're tied up to Amazon's storage on the web (for which you need Wi-Fi connection to get to) and you can only store content you get from Amazon there, not other files. Quoting Amazon on Kindle Fire: "Free cloud storage for all Amazon content".
- The stats of how long the battery can last (Kindle Fire theory is 7.5 hours) are taken with Wi-Fi off. It will last only about 3 hours if you use it to access/stream content from their Cloud storage over Wi-Fi.
- Amazon can spy on your web activity through their new cloud-integrated web browser of Kindle Fire.
- lack of microSD slot means that if you decide to root your Kindle Fire, you’ll have to root the actual device thus there will be no coming back. On Nook Color, you can make it boot from a “rooted” microSD card and if you want to get back to the original Nook you can just take out the card and reboot.
- Kindle doesn't support eBooks in ePub format that is the most used format in the world.
- Kindle app store contains only Amazon approved apps and it does not include (and will not include) Netflix app that iPad has and Nook Color is getting thus again you're stuck with Amazon content only.
- Amazon confirmed that you cannot download/stream anything to Kindle Fire when traveling outside US.
- Amazon says it will review every app in its Appstore for Fire compatibility, as part of an automated process. Rejected apps will include those that rely on a gyroscope, camera, WAN module, Bluetooth, microphone, GPS, or micro SD. Apps are also forbidden from using Google's Mobile Services (and in-app billing), which, if included, will have to be "gracefully" removed. In terms of actual content, Amazon has outlawed all apps that change the tablet's UI in any way (including theme- or wallpaper-based tools), as well as any that demand root access.
According to recently appeared leaks on the Internet, Nook Color 2 will be released by Barnes & Noble on November 7, and this device sure leaves Kindle Fire in the dust.
Leaked specs include:
- dial-core 1.2 Ghz processor vs. 1.0 Ghz of Kindle Fire
- 1.0 GB of RAM vs. 512 MB of Kindle Fire
- 16 GB capacity for apps, videos, photos, ebooks vs. 8 GB of Kindle Fire
- microSD slot to expand capacity even further by another 32 GB vs. no expandable capacity of Kindle Fire
- 1024 x 800 IPS HD display vs. 1024 x 600 of Kindle Fire
- 14.1 oz weight vs. 14.6 oz of Kindle Fire
- Netflix and Hulu Plus for millions of movies streaming built-in vs. 13,000 movies in Amazon store that allows no Netflix and Hulu

grouping books on the kindle fire?
hi so my friend has just gotten the new kindle fire and i really like it. i have the kindle with the keyboard at the bottom of it right now, but i kinda want to update. what i am wondering is if you can organize your books into collections like you can on the first kindles. that is one of my main worries because i like a lot of series and would like them all to be in one place. for example, on the kindle i have now i am about to make a folder for all the harry potter books, then all the hunger games books, then all the mortal instruments books and so on and so forth. i am wondering if you can do that on the kindle fire. any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Answer: I've got both a Fire and Keyboard Kindle.
The Fire organizes things differently. I am not seeing any provision to organize things into collections. Basically, everything you've bought shows in the carousel, with the most recently viewed first.
You can put certain things in your favorites shelf, so they show up there all the time until you remove them, but otherwise, I'm not seeing a good way to organize things so far.
Hopefully Amazon will update the Fire software and allow you to organize things differently.
