With its first Amazon tablet named Kindle Fire the giant online store has ventured into the popular world of Internet tablets that have literally taken the world by storm. This particular Amazon Kindle tablet, that some like to call Amazon Ipad or Kindle Ipad, has a large 7 inch touchscreen display that delivers vibrant images with over 16 million colors in high resolution. In addition to reading books you can enjoy magazines in rich color and you will also be able to watch your favorite movies and television shows. There are over 100,000 movie and television titles available.

The Amazon tablet Kindle Fire features a very fast dual core processor that allows for incredibly fast web browsing with the Kindle browser Amazon Silk and also lets you play games and stream videos.

The Amazon Kindle with color is an ebook reader too

Of course in addition to games, movies and television shows, when you own the Amazon table you will be able to choose from over 1 million book titles. There are over 800,000 titles that cost $9.99 or less and there are over 2 million titles that can be downloaded for free because they were published before 1923 and are now in the public domain.

The Kindle Fire is designed for people on the go. It is small enough to fit in a purse, briefcase or backpack and it is lightweight enough to easily hold in one hand. If you do store your Amazon Kindle tablet in a bag or briefcase you won't have to worry because the screen is very durable.

Amazon Tablet Reviews

In the short time that the Amazon tablet Kindle Fire Full Color 7" Multi-touch Display has been on the market it has already received thousands of reviews online. Many of the reviews are very positive but not everyone is in love with the Kindle Fire and some of the reviews are pretty unfavorable so we wanted to summarize the things that people loved about it as well as some of the things that people were disappointed with.

We'll start with the good news. Many people are happy with the screen size as well as the size of the overall unit. It's not very heavy and it fits easily in one hand. Many users think that the screen is fantastic and one user said that it makes the iPad 2 look grainy. The screen dimensions are very close to 16:9 and widescreen movies fit very well on the screen. A lot of users are saying that the user interface is very intuitive and one user said that he wouldn't hesitate to give this device to a total tablet novice. The operating system is also intuitive and easy to navigate.

Many users are saying that the touchscreen is very responsive and that typing on the virtual keyboard works very well. Many users are also pleased with the processing speed and a lot of people really love the cloud storage that the Kindle Fire offers. People are saying that the cloud drive is easily accessible and it's great to have all of your music, movies, apps etc. so accessible without using up a bunch of the storage space on your device.

Even some of the people that love the Kindle Fire and are giving it 5 star reviews are saying that it's not the best tablet on the planet but they feel that they are definitely getting their money's worth because this tablet costs $199 as of this writing, which is less than half of some of the other competitors on the market.

Buy from Amazon

Now for the not so good news. There were quite a few people who were actually very disappointed with the Kindle Fire. One complaint that came up over and over again was the lack of privacy with this particular unit. Every page you visit and every product you buy is visible on the carousel display. Many people are saying that they don't want to show people their Kindle Fire because they don't necessarily want to show other people all of the stuff they have on it. The carousel displaying everything and the lack of privacy is probably the most common complaint that you will see if you read a lot of the reviews.

A lot of users are also pointing out that there are no parental controls and some people are a little worried about letting their kids use it. A lot of people are also not happy about the one click purchasing because there is no password protection and there is no way to turn it off.

Another criticism that came up is that you can't categorize your books. One reviewer said that they have accumulated over 800 books in our archive and searching for one of them can be troublesome if you can't remember the title or the name of the author.

Some of the negative comments we found are in direct contradiction to some of the positive comments. For example, some people are saying that the touchscreen is not very responsive and that the web browser is very slow. A lot of the positive reviewers were saying the exact opposite. Whenever there is contradiction like this it's difficult to know for sure exactly how well something will work without buying it and actually trying it for yourself.

There are a lot of reviews online for the Kindle Fire Full Color 7" Multi-touch Display and I would like to point out that there are many more positive reviews then there are negative but there are enough negative comments to concern us a little bit. Some of the negative reviewers say that they feel that the Kindle Fire is a beta product that still has some bugs that need to be worked out and it may not be ready to be released to the masses yet. However, there are also well over 1000 reviews from people that absolutely love Amazon's answer to the iPad and have been very pleased with their purchase. This is one of those products where you are probably going to have to do some more research for yourself to decide if it is going to be right for you.
