Fortune magazine said Kindle Fire is not a revolutionary device, but this is the most important products of the Amazon so far. It supports reading, online shopping, download music and movies - the content that Amazon is offering.

Considering the potential of the Fire, to note that Amazon is the largest e-commerce company in the world. They have a rich repository of information and they released Fire as a tool to help consumers of that content (similar to the people buy Kindle to read books on Amazon).

Page MSNBC identify Apple should be worried because they lack the equipment to compete in the same price segment: "I read books, watch video, play music, check e-mail, play games ... and can opponents say this is a very horizontal. It is a product that Apple should fear. "

Chicago Sun-Times that the Fire should be improved user interface, but with price 200 USD and the perfect ecosystem of the Amazon, this is the right choice, ie users should not expect much. "Fire is a wonderful device. Apple and Amazon probably did not introduce the pair products complement each other so if they are reasonable in the same faction. To meet tablet things? Buy iPad. Want a cheap compact and you do not have any special needs in addition to reading the contents. Fire is most appropriate. I believe every potential customer on the tablet just consider one of two this project. "

However, not everyone loves the new tablet. The New York Times describes: "You will feel the price of 200 USD in each finger in turn. Picture shock, even to turn the page. No message 'waiting' so you do not seem to know us received the touch of your order or not. "

Page Wired also proved tough: "Fire is not bad row, but its performance will never be as consumer expectations. 7 inch screen is too small for the tasks on the computer table. The processor 1 GHz dual-core not enough for smooth browsing. Moreover, compared to competitors, it lacks camera, 3G connectivity and a slot. Fire is the last option of the user. "

Nevertheless, GigaOM technology site countered that the new iPad release, it also been criticized for lack of features. The competitors scrambling to fill the shortage of iPad but the success of this product is clear evidence that the configuration is not an important factor leading. Nearly 100,000 purchase orders after 24 hours Kindle Fire released (7 / 10) also showed that ordinary users rated this tablet.

In general, Amazon's tablet has some flaws as only 8 GB of memory, not smooth operation, the interface needs improvement ... If it is sold at $ 500 like any other tablet, it will quickly be ignored. But for $ 200 USD, Fire simply "fully satisfied". In other words, requiring activities such as iPad 2 Fire is like compared with netbook laptop configuration and prices twice as high.

Website CNet Technology concluded: "Certainly in my heart want to choose iPad Kindle instead of Fire. But I do not live in the perfect world where the iPad is provided free of charge. I'm in the place where a few hundred dollars as well as some significant money. And in that world, I support Amazon has created the best tablet on the market with the corresponding amount. "
