What's a Kindle good for?

[escapeUK]

There are 2 types of new Kindles.

There is the new eReader type Kindle and the tablet type Kindle.

The tablet type Kindle is a much cheaper version of the iPad.

I wouldn't say the new Kindle is really compatible to the iPad due to the limited functionality. For example they only have WiFi connectivity and limited storage capabilities.

The limited storage is designed to make you go back to Amazon to buy more content i.e. videos and games.

Apple is already worried there has been a few other Android tablets out recent at a much cheaper price point.

Problem is those with Android phones rather do things on their phone than carry around yet another device.

Im guessing you meant comparable, the new kindle fire HDs have 16gb or 32gb, so I dont consider that any more limited than an ipad. 16Gb is quite a bit of space really. The top of the range Kindle is half the price of the bottom of the range iPad.

I have a Sony S tablet as well as a HTC One phone. Im not sure if your point about android phones is correct, if this were true why would people have an iPhone and an iPad? I dont want to surf the web on a phone at home, its rubbish in comparison to a tablet or laptop.

Kindle e-Reader is an e-book reader. Kindle Fire is a range of cheap tablets. I think it's a daft brand naming that confuses everyone but no they haven't stopped making the original e-ink devices.
