Yesterday was a big day, it seemed like a holiday,\u00a0 where was the man in red or his reindeer? I was too preoccupied to check for tracks outside..\u00a0 Inside, I had the Kindle Fire in my hot little hands, it was love at first touch actually..\u00a0 (I wrote about the Kindle Fire previously<\/a>)\u00a0 The excitement started as soon as I awoke at 5am,\u00a0 I checked Amazon to see if it had shipped, not only had it shipped but tracking showed it was already en-route to my state.\u00a0 By 8am it was at the sorting facility down the street from my office and by 9am it was out for delivery.<\/p>\n

Squeeeeeeeeeee\u00a0 I was dancing in my seat all day waiting be home with my precious.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A kindle fire in the hand is a magical thing.<\/p><\/div>\n

Believe me I went straight home and whipped open the package! Okay, I love the packaging, simple and effective, no muss no fuss..\u00a0 Just a box with a molded recyclable piece to support the Kindle Fire..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"

This is how it ships, just simple packaging and not a box in a box in a box.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The anticipation is palpable but why do I get the urge to call him Chad..<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I flip open the box to discover how neat the packaging is, a card in the cover sits slightly ajar, this gives enough information to get your started.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Let the fun begin.. And we are off..<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Initially I couldn’t get my Fire and my wireless to connect but a quick restart of the Fire did the trick and I started cruising.\u00a0 Have I mentioned how much I love the size of this unit.. LOVE..<\/p>\n

Once I saw what I could do with the Kindle the transferring of information began, music went into the cloud, locating then loaded apps, found\/bookmarked webpages.. surfing surfing, surfing.<\/p>\n

I haven’t found anything yet that I haven’t liked about the Kindle Fire, of course I haven’t been out of WiFi range yet either.<\/p>\n

As far as the apps go, I am finding everything that I like without issues, everything I use on both my Droid phone and the Ipad2 is now on the Kindle Fire.\u00a0 The 10,000 movies, Prime members have option to stream free, load quickly and easily, you can also connect to your Netflix account for additional movie options.\u00a0 Music, including\u00a0 playlists from Itunes, can be transferred to the unit or to Amazon’s cloud.\u00a0 The nice thing about the cloud is that you can listen from any device, no more hogging up my phone memory with tunage.<\/p>\n

All the books I had present to my kindle arrived preloaded, reading is a breeze, resizing text is easy. You can change the color of the background as well, I haven’t done a test for ease of reading outside in the sunshine, yet.\u00a0 When browsing you can resize pages with the same finger movement as with an Ipad..<\/p>\n

For now, I am still testing, playing and discovering the Kindle Fire, I will update more as I discover it.<\/p>\n

What about you, what are your thoughts on the Kindle Fire, do you have one, want one or just want to see what the hub bub is all about?<\/p>\n
