If you're just getting yours, I'd encourage you to check out our "Playing Product Tester" guide for how to get software updates and explore the device. Otherwise, let's look at a couple of well-articulated comments from user reviews before finishing with some free apps.
"We were considering purchasing an iPad 2 for Christmas, but we were concerned about the price. Also, with a 7 year old daughter, we didn't feel comfortable using such an expensive device on a regular basis...I truly see myself taking the Fire with me everywhere we go! In fact, we may need to buy another since I won't want to share it!" --Janet L Carter
"Little things add up to make what could be a great device merely adequate. Many will be able to overlook these problems and enjoy the Kindle Fire for what it is; an inexpensive all-in-one-entertainment device. I only point them out to remind people that they should not expect perfection from the Kindle Fire, at least not out of the box. Over the next few months it's possible (likely) that many of the problems I have could be fixed with software revisions." -- Billy Radcliffe
"So for what it is, I would have no problems recommending the Fire to consumers who can take advantage of it. This product more than lives up to what it is DESIGNED to do. If you plan on getting most of your content from Amazon AND you have a Prime membership, I think you will really find this is a pretty incredible device for the money." --Trevett
