these are multimedia consumption devices. They are well designed for great sound and great graphics. That's what they're meant for, so you can buy more multimedia and books on Amazon. And for that, they're great.

I'm thrilled with these offerings. I won't be buying them, but I do love the choices they give us and I think they raise the bar for the iPad which I'm glad to see. Amazon is the only consumer company that the regular person sees as a viable option to Apple.
