Amazon succeeds with the Kindle Fire in several respects. First and foremost is the price: At $199, the Kindle Fire falls into territory that won't make a huge dent in consumers' pocketbooks, and it's almost, but not quite, an impulse buy.

Another win: Its on-board storefronts for Kindle books, Android apps, and movies and TV shows are visually appealing. The device's tight ties to the various storefronts, coupled with the company's vast selection of movies, TV episodes, books, and music, set the kindle fire apart from the crowded pack of generic Android tablets, which can play content but have no direct hooks to stores (beyond the books and movie rentals in Google's Market). With the kindle fire, acquiring content and using it on your tablet looks to be seamless. More critically, seeing what's in the cloud for you to download should be simple, too–as simple as tapping on the content, and tapping Download.

The kindle fire 's reasonable price, together with the potential of widespread Android app support, makes the device an enticing option, especially for families who want to give a tablet to the kids without having to blast through five bills. The kindle fire is clearly first and foremost an entertainment-consumption companion to Amazon's services. The ability to install apps and do anything more with the tablet–handling email, sharing photos, and the like–really feels like a secondary operation. At that point it makes me wonder whether the kindle fire is truly a “tablet” or just a content-playback machine with some extra smarts.

In many ways, the kindle fire isn't trying to beat the iPad or the Android-tablet masses at their own game. The kindle fire is doing its own thing, and going after a totally different audience.

Kindle, Apple and Nook all have their platform.  Nook takes you to Barns and Noble, Apple uses its popular ITunes and Kindle uses Amazon.  The chart below compairs each of the popular devices side by side:

User Experience And Content:

Compared to iPad the Kindle fire is very easy to use. Even first time tablet owners will find the interface intuitive and easy to figure out.

Both Fire and iPad give users access to an almost unlimited amount of content. Fire of course gives users access to Amazon.com’s e-books, movies, television shows and games. Both give users thousands of apps as well.

kindle fire vs Apple’s iPad When It Comes To Price

Price is clearly where Amazon’s kindle fire beats Apple’s iPad by a couple of miles! kindle fire is priced at $199.00. The iPad is priced between $499.00 and $699.00. Any way you look at it, that’s a huge advantage when it comes to consumers. The economy has many tightening their purse strings. But the appetite for new innovative technology seems to be healthy in spite of the economy. There’s no denying that $199.00 price tag makes the kindle fire a really “hot” buy.

So its a choice, 199 dollars is a lot more palatable in today’s economy and Kindle puts out a great product. Bang for the buck, Kindle is a proven tablet with millions of books, thousands of TV shows and movies that you can take with you anywhere you go at an affordable price.
