One of the best features is the "Mayday" button. Click on this and you instantly get a pop up window with a live tech to help you with anything. You can see them, but they can't see you.

Re: OT--New Kindle/Fires launch!

I called CS...Am being sent a return label, and ordered the 6" which ships 2nd week Oct. I just realized my case probably won't fit, although it has slightly adjustable side tabs. The spelling auto-correct on the KF can drive me crazy too! "It" thinks I mean a different word than what I typed and sometimes I don't catch it. Anyway..I have the 2nd version of the Kindle e-reader (which still works even though I did not use it for a few years!) But never had A KF until now..I like to wait on newer products so that any bugs are worked out! I agree that it is a fun tablet. For those ordering a newer version...are you giving your older ones away or keeping as a back up?

I just ordered the KF 7"". I'm going to send back the LePan because there are absolutely NO cases or covers out there. Hope I like the Kindle! Smiley Happy

I own the HD 8.9". I don't need the mayday button. If you click on the contact button they will call you almost instantly, I've used it twice.

I paid $139 for duel-core w no cameras...so this is a much better deal. There are other New KF models offered too. I also have a LePan 'll/9.7"" for $78 @shophq which I also love and my grandson enjoys. Both sizes have their uses ! Anyone else thinking of a new KF?

I looked at this tablet the other day on Amazon. I am a old lady and 7"" display is a bit small for reading web pages. A 6"" display is terrible small. Here is a link to compare features. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKPYKWG/ref=fs_fas

FYI there is a SUPER deal on the Kindle HDX 7" today, fifty smackers off. This is the model I have and I love it. I use it as a tablet, video player and book reader as well as playing music and even have taken videos with it.

Re: OT--New Kindle/Fires launch!

I have the 7 inch HDX. I bought it when Amazon did a flex pay of 4 payments over 6 months. I want the new one but I need a tablet like I need a hole in the head. Lol I have an iPad air, kindle, as us 7.9 and a Samsung Galaxy which I hate. No wonder sprint was giving them away. I I use it as my car tablet. Lol I keep it in my car and use it when I need to look stuff up on the go. I have this tablet addiction. I must say that the iPad is the best tablet I ever owned. The only thing I do not like about the kindle is you can not personalize it. I hope someday we will have a choice of backgrounds and how content is displayed
