[quote name='radioactivez0r']How can something be overpriced when no succeeding product exists except in rumor? And with the coupon, at $170, that puts it slightly above a reasonable guess for what the original Fire would drop to if something DOES exit. Me, I'm contemplating it, but I actually measured out the specs on a piece of paper and damn it seems small.[/QUOTE]
Actually the Fire is a decent little device. I've been happy with mine since launch, very sturdy with a solid feel and great screen (though not OLED, which would have been nice). Browsing is a bit weak, but not terrible; games are not bad at all.
If a Fire 2 comes out, I'll be ready for it. The Fire can be a litltle slow, and a slightly [larger/higher quality/higher resolution] screen would be nice (like 8-9 inches). But I bought at launch and have used mine on a daily basis, very happy with it overall.
