Early comments from product reviewers on Kindle Fire include:
“The Kindle Fire is a 7-inch tablet that links seamlessly with Amazon's impressive collection of digital music, video, magazine, and book services in one easy-to-use package. It boasts a great Web browser, and its curated Android app store includes most of the big must-have apps (such as Netflix , Pandora, and Hulu ). The Fire has an ultra-affordable price tag, and the screen quality is exceptional for the price.” – CNET
“The Fire is a marvelous device.” – Chicago Sun-Times
“It sounds horribly corny, but you'll feel a little powerful using the Fire, in a consumer couch potato kind of way. The volume of stuff that's available for your brain to munch on is so immense and easy to grab that the Fire feels massive beyond its small-ish frame—which, by the way, is sturdy and satisfying to hold, like a good paperback. A paperback filled with internet magic and delectable liquid crystal. The Kindle Fire is a spigot, and Prime tastes delicious.” – Gizmodo
“It bakes in books, music, movies, apps/games, magazines, multi-tasking, universal search, easy access to anything you have in Amazon’s cloud, and a sense that this device and Amazon know you.” – Mashable
“The Kindle Fire's killer feature may be its access to the free streaming movies and TV shows that are among the benefits of subscribing to Amazon Prime, the company's $79 -a-year premium program. (A free 30-day subscription to the service is included with the Kindle Fire.)” – The world’s leading consumer magazine
“The culmination of 17 years of work, the Kindle Fire is the missing piece of the company's vast corporate puzzle, bringing into harmony nearly every discordant service the company has built since CEO Jeff Bezos first set up shop in his garage in 1994.” – Fortune
