Sorry, I thought the one on Amazon was the same model as cowboom. I didn't realize there was a second Fire non hd.

Depends on what kind of games you're interested in. If it's just angry birds type games than it should be fine, but if you're talking about bigger games than you should look elsewhere.

The kindle fire was designed to deliver amazon product and service to you, that's it.

The "good" RPG and games are around 1GB give or take, and with only about 5GB available the most you can fit is about 4 or 5 games

It is NOT the Fire HD, so, GARBAGE!

The app is not that big, its the data.
For example Symphony of Eternity (one of the better RPG) is only about 30mb but it requires you to download about 1GB of data.

Not all games are like that, only the good ones, like Shadowgun, or Deadspace, or N.O.V.A 3 etc.

crap i think i just pass on it until they fall to 99 or so....


130 bucks is sort of high for a 4th handheld (already got a 3ds xl. vita, and PSP)


if it was 99 i been all over it

Thanks Cheapy - we have been waiting to pick one of those up for quite a while, and that is a great price!

shit. I hope they have another deal like this near Christmas. I was looking to pick up 2 for my mom and gf. Any hope that they or anyone else may do this again?
BF kinda broke me :( lol

Examples from my Kindle (includes app and save data):
Eve of Genesis: 604KB
Plants vs Zombies: 79.49MB
Cut the Rope: 30.49MB
Cut the Rope Experiments: 53.98MB
Avadon: The Black Fortress HD (not even supposed to run on this but it does): 188MB
Anomaly HD: 158MB

So even your larger games don't take up a lot of space. Only the console type games take up a lot of space. And they don't really run well on the non-HD fire anyway.

i got the original kindle fire for christmas last year. i really like it. i read a ton of more with it. its nice having netflix/crunchy roll player, the comixology app (always wait for their 99 cent sales), i have an iphone too and of course the amount of games on kindle fire is way less but they have a lot of the big titles like the angry birds series, wheres my water, most gameloft games , most ea games (nba jam is fun), other games i like puzzle quest, rayman jungle, pinball arcade, league of evil.

its a nice little reader, lay around the house an browse the internet, play a few games, watch some videos machine. for me if a person wants an inexpensive tablet i would go for the fire or fire hd if they want to spend a lot more get the regular iPad.

yeah some games can be large but i never am playing a bunch of the large ones all at once. like i always have some smaller games on (angry birds space, angry birds star wars, wheres my water, league of evil etc) and then like a large one like the dark knight ill play it and then when done delete it from the kindle

I flashed Liberty to my phone this week. Not sure if they have a version that would work on the Kindle, but if they do it would be great. I actually like my phone again.

The google play store has tons of video players that can play any and all file formats. And for those that have your Nexus 7/Fire rooted, OTA rootkeeper will allow you to temporarily unroot your tablet so you can use streaming services like Flixster.
