Still have one in the box, but they refused to just apply the code to that order. So I ordered another one and will return the first...

Yuck...I bought it 2 weeks ago at full price.....this sucks Kinda makes you wonder what is the point of pre-ordering if they will drop the price 2 weeks later and screw you.
I love my current Kindle fire HD 8.9, but when I visited the Apple Store and held the iPad mini...oh my. The sheer weight of that thing blew me away. I am probably not going to switch to mini just because of the screen resolution (lack of HD) but I wish I *could* switch to something lighter, the Kindle HD feels like a rock now lol

I am actually on the fence about all Three Nexus, iPad Mini and Kindle Fire Hd. Each has its own pros and cons. Price point is either Kindle/Nexus 7. Style in market dominence as well as functionality goes to Mini. However, the mini no being HD is a big con IMO. This sale pushes me towards the KF HD. I think If I could walk into a local store with al three avaialble I would grab the mini. But since my financial options rely greatly with Amazon (more ways to pay) I am partial to this deal.
In a nutshell, I know it has been discussed. Which one is the best way to go for the next 10-13 months?
Apple fanboys will be along any minute to compare, and to tell us how much better theirs is...

Bought one for a present a couple of weeks ago. Amazon won't just give me a credit for an unopened 8.9. Looks like I will return it then and re-order. Or get something else instead from another store. I don't like when companies can't be flexible for a simple fix like this.

No go, I poured all apple juice down the drain. They will fall like rocks.
If I'd be shelling out $249, I'd go w/the Nexus7 32gb for the same price.

Yes they all have their pros and cons. You could wait another 6 months for updates on these products.
But as for now I will choose iPad mini and sell it when the Retina screen version come out. However for you guys when pricing matters, KF HD sounds good.

I agree that the Nexus 7 is a wonderful device, but the screen on this is much larger.

Over a year later, mine is actually still working fine, but I am running the stock OS, not Cyanogenmod. Of course it is woefully under-supported, but if you don't care about having an app store or media store, it's worth it for the price I paid (32GB for $150). of course it has no cell radio (3G/4G/LTE reception is not possible), and the screen is low-resolution (1024x768) compared to contemporary offerings. but last I checked it could still play videos from Amazon's instant streaming in its web browser. The PDF viewer is not feature-rich, but it's functional. Skype video chat still works fine. so it still meets most of my needs, but I'd be lying if I said I don't want something better. But more than that, I don't want to spend hundreds more.

I called in to Amazon and was able to get a $50 credit issued back to me. Tried to say I was outside the 30 day because I pre-ordered. But I said I didn't recieve it until novemeber. She put me on hold and came back and said a credit will be issued.

Definitely recommend going with Android 4.0 / Cyanogenmod 9. The OS is super polished now, no battery issues, full Google Play/Market compatibility, HBO GO, Hulu Plus, etc, etc.
Last week's CM9 update finally incorporated a working camera patch so Skype is fully functional now. A huge plus is Flash compatibility to watch live sports, etc.

Thanks for this info. I haven't updated my alarm clock in a while (my Touchpad), and probably wasn't until I heard about something significant in the changelog. Time to update...

Pick up any 7" tablet and you'll feel the same way. The iPad and other 10" tablets feel even heavier than the Kindle HD... For most people, a 7" tablet is really optimal....great for gaming, books, etc. The 10" ones work a little better or web browsing, portfolios, etc.

I am so very tempted to answer the survey questions..... but I am not going to ... Please consider this a mild lesson when posting personal data .... I know the enthusiasm to participate can be overwhelming but please be careful.

I am not a big Apple fan, I mean I used to like their products but then got bored really quickly and I am really bought into the Kindle fire, mainly because it is so well integrated with their eco system.
Even though I own the Kindle Fire HD 8.9, when I held that Apple Mini in my hand, I had doubts about whether I wanted to keep the Kindle or not, it was SUPER LIGHT but then when you compare the specs it is really old hardware. If it was Retina display (which I presume will come in a few months) I would have seriously considered returning Kindle but for now I am liking the kindle, it just has such great resolution (and the incredible speakers) that makes you want to use it. Also downloading movies on to it is a breeze (if you have rented from Amazon) etc
Just wondering, can you apply the $25 Amazon gift card you get from buying a Kindle Fire HD at GameStop or Staples to the price of the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 model? Was thinking about getting the Kindle Fire HD for my mom and now the 8.9 for myself.

My Dad is just about to purchase a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" 16GB Wi-Fi for $349, can anyone tell me how this compares besides being slightly smaller screen size? Also I see this one has a camera in front only.

I agree 100%. Best bang for the buck when running CM9 on the Touchpad. Picked up 3 of the 32's for $125 and cannot complain.

Could you provide the links when I could upgrade to fully functional CM9? PM if you like. I have CM7 but would like to upgrade to CM9 with video and audio working.

We have been watching prices on the 8.9 since it came out. BB online had a great offer with a $25 gift card with $250 or more purchased online with store pickup. This offer blows that offer away. Love Amazon!!!!!! If your thinking of getting this, the only way I think this deal could be better is if you can get an Amazon gift card at 10% discount through one of the many retail store promotions right now and apply that with today's Amazon promotion. This deal is to good to pass up for us, we are in for 2.
