Me either!! I keep checking my bank account to see if it has been charged yet. I think this the first time I can say that I can't wait to see $200 taken from my account! LOL!
I know what you mean, Terri![image error]

WOW!!!!I just received a notice from my credit card company that Amazon has charged my account for my Kindle Fire.
Anyone else see their charge yet?
Can't wait.

Me too! So long money! Can't wait to start playing with my Fire! :)
Got an em earlier today. Amazon shipped my Fire out today. I'm having it overnighted to me.
Whoooooot!!!! Mine should be here tomorrow...which just happens to be my birthday. Yay!
Mine is out for delivery today !!! I cant understand if the darn thing came out yesterday that all of us who pre ordered it should have recieved it YESTERDAY! watching for my UPS man !!! he never comes until 5 or 6 pm *sigh*

Woot! :)

Yay! How do you like it, Sue?
IDK ??? I dont like it for reading in bed. Its alot heavier than I imagined it to be. Its super fast for surfing the internet and I can play angry birds better. What do you think so far?
oh and i can watch amazonprime videos pretty fast
Mod
Sue, do you like the internet browser? I've heard that it's difficult to use. And when I went to Best Buy to check out the Fire, the "demo version" wouldn't let me actually try out the browser, which was really frustrating!
the only thing I don't like so far is that it automatically gives me the mobile version of facebook and google+. Or at least I can't figure out how to get it to show otherwise. Even coming in via web browser - no matter what I manually type in to the brower addy bar. *sigh* Oh, and I don't like the location of the power button. I keep turning it off while I'm watching it. Hopefully once I get a case, this problem will be minimalized.
Still love it.

It kinda saves the last place you were and then you can make favorites too which are super easy to navigate. It is faster than my phone or maybe easier? I get so frustrated on my phone for searching thing s. Someone told me about using my phone as a hot spot and then you have intenet for your fire but I'm afraid it may cost money. It sure is a great little tablet. I'm waiting for my anti glare screen to see about reading but the kindle is lighter for sure in bed at night. I have a hard shell case and I still turn it off. My husband is using my fire more than me!
I'm so curious about the reading experience; I luuurrrve my e-ink. Yet I must admit, the Fire is tempting me. How has it been so far (sorry if I missed more comments on this issue).
Mod
Thanks for asking, Tina. I do love e-ink as well, but I don't have any problem reading on the Kindle Fire. Still, if I know I'm going to be reading for more than say an hour, I'll grab my K3, and the great thing is it knows exactly where I left off between devices. So I would recommend it!
The devices sync? (I haven't done a lot of research). Cue me adding the Fire to my Christmas list!!!

Also, the great thing about all of the kindle products and apps is that they sync. I switch between reading on my Fire, K4, K3 3G, Droid, 2 different Kindle PC apps, and the Kindle cloud app. Occasionally it doesn't sync perfectly but 99.9% of the time it is seamless and I pick up right where I left off.
