    I'm seriously considering getting one. It's right in my price range, and it looks like it performs well. One question: can you do any level of word processing on it? If not not, is there a similarly priced tablet that would be a better option? Thanks.

    My understanding is that the fire has very limited Droid functionality. Like it only runs Amazon apps and limited Droid apps. Check out the Google Nexus. Its a full on Google tablet. Same price as the fire.

    I'm liking the look of that Nexus 7. A bit more expensive, but not much.

    Really? It's $200 for the 8gb (same as fire). Although the 16gb is $250 which personally for the extra $50 bucks I'd go with the 16gb. Let me know what you end up doing.

    Kindle fire is $150 now I believe, not $200. I thought I read it just recently dropped.
