If you're just exploring the new OS, I caxn see it and that's the only reason I can see to get that. I have the 7" HD original and still use it but would not like to be missing all those features which I do use. My older 8.9" HD has the same speed which the one you bought has, which is to say, it's not speedy. Did you check out the 2nd half of my post about the<a href="http://bit.ly/kw-hdxa" rel="nofollow">tricks Amazon team used</a> to get add'l speed beyond the processor change? It's all very clever and I was impressed by what they did, and you will have -those- enhancements.<br /> I agree with you re the blue fringe on the edges of some. As with the Paperwhite, apparently some people had such a minimal amt they had to look closely to notice it, while it was obvious on others. I saw one tech reviewer that mentioned it but in that case it was minimal, he said, and he decided it actuallly was the by-product of getting that degree of color accuracy. I read that it was happening with another tablet, with that reason given.<br /> -- Wondering if it was the iPad mini (it's not), I saw that it has been having its own blue prob - "blue screen of death" :-) <br /> ... which reminded me of older Windows and that great Haiku poem about it.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-53006833599150168992013-12-01T19:17:47.696-08:002013-12-01T19:17:47.696-08:00Also note there are new Kindle First selections fo...Also note there are new Kindle First selections for the month.Tom Semplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127272649086914117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-51722930081130896302013-12-01T19:15:54.659-08:002013-12-01T19:15:54.659-08:00You will want to add the $50 discount on the new F...You will want to add the $50 discount on the new Fire HD and HDX 16GB models.<br /><br />I ordered the Fire HD, as Amazon came up with exactly the deal I was looking for (and on the preferred 16GB model no less). I know I could have had a 16GB refurb Fire for even less (with mic, cam, mimo) but wanted to be able to explore the latest Fire OS at the lowest possible price, and this has a faster processor (I think they will probably add goodreads/cloud collections to the older Fire HDs, but who can say when that will be, or if it will include any of the other OS refinements). I think the lower pixel density (relative to HDX) will be fine for me, and I just could not consider the HDX 7" after seeing its blue fringe screen. So should be fun.Tom Semplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127272649086914117noreply@blogger.com
