Amazon's Kindle Fire Money-Making Strategy Is Working

My Kindle Fire is FANTASTIC! I hate to point this out to the hipster wannabe writer of this article, but not everyone is so insecure that they want to pay apple 3x what a product is worth just to be part of the "i" crowd.....

Why does every article trash the Kindle Fire? I've had mine for over a month and not one problem. Moves quickly, downloads perfectly and works great. This article is a scam plus it's $199 not $99. Way to check your facts. Stay Classy Atlantic Wire...

I really like my Kindle Fire...it does exactly what I want it to do..store books for me to read, and stream Pandora.

Hey Rebecc-duh, calling the Kindle Fire unimpressive and then citing an article YOU wrote about it being unimpressive is hilarious! Whata douche.
Anyway, I LOVE the Fire. Especially if you have Amazon Prime, this thing is the awesome. Movies, games, apps, web, streaming (Sons of Anarchy and The Twilight Zone are streaming free, FTW!!). Seriously, what more do you need? A camera? Quit being a child and get real one.

I love my kindle fire, people at work saw mine and 3 went out and got their own!

Check your facts. the Kindle Fire is $199, not $99.

Kindle Fire is meant for people just like me. My job entails me to review and test technology all day. When I use my own technology, I don't need fancy bells, whistles, and complication. I need something I can do exactly what I want it to do. Kindle Fire does all that and more. I think folks like to say they have an iPad. But average folk don't really need all that. Unless you're flying to Mars or making a movie.

i dont know what these people are talking.. My kindle works great and I love it. I have had more problems with iTunes. I like Android devices. Apple gear is way overpriced and not any better.

"With its chintzy feel, slow interface and bugs, the Kindle Fire hasn't impressed"

chintzy feel? really? stupid woman. do you even own a fire?? Im guessing not. I love my kindle fire. It works perfectly. It's a great size, video streaming from amazon, hulu & netflix is awesome. I love the games. And there aren't any bugs. it does EXACTLY what amazon said and advertised it would do. I'd bet the majority of people who returned one or weren't happy with it, didn't even read the product page, because that clearly states what the Fire is and isn't. If people didn't read that, it's their own fault.

I too like my kindle fire, I don't even know why they put it in a tablet category. If it had 3G capabilities, I might consider it a tablet. But for me I love reading books, flipping through magazines, watching movies, and playing with apps on my fire, and its like a mini entertainment center.

kindle fire is a great product never felt the need to buy the overpriced Ipad

lol @ "Amazons Kindle Fire money making strategy is working" and linked to "all those cheap kindle fire tablets are hurting amazon profits"..

nice conclusion..

forst of all, you need to acknowledge your apple love then forget it and make an attempt at objective journalism..

why not try to write your own informed article, ...you know..ask people their opinion like a real journalist would.. this cut/paste of other knee-jerk articles, guesses and supposition is kinda pathetic.

"Amazon loses money on the production of Kindle Fire" is supposition... do yourself, and editorial integrity a favor and dont quote a guess as fact huh?

I like my Kindle, but I won't spend any money on content, but I just download free games and surf the web anyways.

"With its chintzy feel, slow interface and bugs, "
i've had mine since christmas and its done everything i expected, and more. there is NO other tablet in the price point that comes close for out of the box performance and delivery [even if amazon tacked on $20 to make a little money].

I've had the Kindle Fire since it was released and I love it, love it. Much to Amazon's dismay, I'm sure, I've not spent a penny on content to date. I download books from the public library, download the music I already have stored on iTunes (which I despise, by the way), have gotten several cool free apps and stored away a few photos as well. Chintzy it is not, by no stretch of the imagination. Internet access is rapid enough to suit me. The only Apple product I own is a 5+ year old Nano to get me through my daily walks; my worth as a human being is not dependent upon being able to whip out the too-highly-priced iPad and impress everyone with my cool. I'm getting tired of these slams on a perfectly fine product. Ya gotta wonder how much Apple pays these folks to write such biased postings.

Is this woman talking about the same Kindle Fire I own? I love mine! I can't figure out why anyone would spend $500 MORE for an iPad!

Love my Kindle Fire.....don't see how it could be any faster,works beautifully...no complaints

just like videogame consoles. the money is made on the game sales, not the consoles

I'm not an apple fan and I love android. However, once you use a higher quality tablet and then use a kindle, you'll see what the writer's talking about. Android tablet prices are dropping so low now. The Asus memo 370T is a 7 inch android tablet with a quad core and running the 4.0 ice cream sandwich. It will only cost $249. This will be the fasted, smoothest running tablet out there and it's about the same price as a kindle. You could have downloaded an amazon app and a barnes and noble app and anything else you wanted and had it all for about the same price as a kindle.
