Any reasons specifically? Have you compared it to the iPad? I think this is an absolute lock. Even if Apple doesn't, many places will go that route anyway. Plenty of people did this around the iPad 2 launch. It's a good call for those worried about sinking so much money into a non-essential...

If you are looking to have PDFs for RPG materials you need to go with a bigger screen. Go with the iPad 2 or if you want to wait for the 3 for either a price drop or whatever upgrades it has. We use our iPad all the time at the gaming table but the Fire's screen is just too small. Don't worry...

Aw, man. Sooo tempting but I don't think I could do the game justice without playing it first. That said, I think it's FRICKIN' AWESOME that you guys are doing things like this to promote the product. :D

Exactly. The primary reason people are buying the Fire is the price point. Screen size, if it's even a factor is down the list.

Sure thing. I'll be runnin' in the afternoon. :)

My HEX game is a 1890's pulpy romp where real life and literary characters meet. Think of it like the action movie version of folks like: - Sherlock Holmes - John Watson - Elizabeth Cochran - James Butler Hickok - Martha Jane Cannary Burke - Herman George Wells The first round of this was...

I'll believe Windows 8/Microsoft is a player in the tablet game when they actually get in the game and not a moment sooner. Way too many failures outside the PC/Desktop arena to go any other way.

It's a problem with her wi-fi. Ours works fine and there would be massive reports online if there were other problems like hers.

To offer a counterpoint, our wireless works just fine with the Kindle Fire. As do the other dozen wireless devices in our household.

Absolutely. A trimmed down, B&W version would be perfect for folks like us. :)

Yup. The novels and anything similar optimized for the Kindle Fire are great. The web browser and all the amazon stuff also works perfectly (as it should!). Netflix is a little down on the quality of streaming but that could be my wireless connection. But yeah, this little sucker won't be...

SLOW so far. Not sure if it's the Adobe reader or the file size. Gonna try the individual chapters and another few readers to see if it speeds up the render time. EDIT: This is kinda obvious but the screen size makes a huge difference. RPG books are in no way optimized for viewing on a...

Been playing with my Kindle Fire today. It's, as expected, very amazon-centric with very little in terms of Android trappings. I like it so far as I own a decent chunk of amazon.com media. I do like the library feature so far. The screen is really good and on par with the iPad 2. Uploading...

Hit an Apple store, screw around with an iPad for a while and see what you think. Money, of course, is always an issue as they aren't cheap. For my uses it was an easy call even for the 64gb version.

Love using the iPad 2 while playing Pathfinder. Always have the Core Book at the ready via PDF as well as our GM's campaign primer. I do keep my laptop nearby and use that when someone wants to use the iPad for quick searching.

That rocked. As do you all.

You don't use the tabs in Goodreader? No need for two readers! :)

No need to quote to wonder. ;) But one can't ignore the apps available on each device. The apps are the meat and the potatoes of tablets. Even if a tablet has killer hardware it's squat without the library to support it. That's the main reason why I'm looking forward to amazon's offering so...

Ignore spammers. Don't quote them.

I am pleased. Yes I am. :) I'll post the PCs (with blurbs) sometime this week.
