[raptor600]

Just a heads up for anyone thinking of getting one or looking for Christmas ideas...reduced to just £99 at the moment as a Black Friday Deal...

I have just picked one up for my Mum and Dad - makes a great present for the price!

Cheaper at Currys http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/kindle-fire-7-tablet-...

No it isn't...

1) Both are £99 - so the exact same price.
2) Currys website is now down.

Give me Amazon please

I'd rather pay the 99p for peace of mind - Currys are totally useless if anything goes wrong

Fair enough but it's £10.99.

Has it got front facing camera - need it for skype chat. Can't see any information on the site

I know loads of people that paid £129 for it and love it - for £99 it is a steal

Is the HD worth the extra £60? (Currently £159 vs. the £99 for the non-HD)
HD has higher res screen [1200x800] and 16Gb memory, compared to [1024x600] and 8Gb on the non-HD

It totally depends on your idea of 'worth'.

I have played on both and the screen is better on the HD...although you would not look at the Fire screen and think it was bad. It is still a very good screen.

If you think you will need the extra memory though - you might as well go for the HD - if 8GB is more than enough...I would get the Fire for £99.

Know booger alla bout these, do they have cameras? Can you get music on them? I see they browse and do email etc, was going for an iPad mini for my dad for Xmas, it this is tempting at the money.

Any tips

Ok, I've a big ripped-DVD collection. (i.e. I bought the DVD and then ripped it to mp4 so I can watch it via lots of devices at home.)

Can I get the mp4's onto the Kindle to watch on a plane for example?

If all you want to do is read books is it worth bothering with one of these or just go with a boggo kindle for £69??

I'd definitely spend the extra £30 and get this - no brainer.

I've got an iPad from work but I was going to get an iPad mini for myself for the train - I've just picked this up instead. Looking forward to getting it, cheers OP.
