The Kindle Fire has caused quite a stir in the pil market because it looks like there is finally a decent pil from a major brand that is actually affordable. The price point of $199 makes it far more attractive than the alternatives like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Motorola Xoom and of course the iPad which are all priced at the $500 mark.

However, given the type of device that the Kindle Fire is, it would be unfair to compare it with these more costly tablets because the Kindle Fire isn’t trying to be an iPad killer or any other Android killer, but what it is, is a killer alat consumption device. Amazon is consolidating their business as an online store to buy anything to an online store where you can consume any type of digital media. They started out with the original Kindle which was a alami progression for them as they allowed people to consume books on demand and now with the Kindle Fire it opens up new possibilities to consume any type of digital media.
