Chris,
No offense taken. As for your comment about the voice yes, it could be
downloaded on a regular android device. However, setup of the kindle fire is a
lot easier than a regular android tablet. Everybody uses amazon (at least I
do). I wanted to see what amazon had to offer. I’d only heard podcasts to into
some detail about the device. This tutorial goes into further detail,
explaining the ins/outs of the product. Good and bad aspects of ownership as
well. The kindle fire HDX is for people who want a no mess experience and just
want their tablet to work right out of the box. Just like an iPad.
Thanks,
