Amazon dropped the price on the refurbished Kindle Fire another $30 bringing it to $139. While the specs and features may be underwhelming, it is a really good deal, especially considering the ability to access all of Amazon's digital content including Amazon Prime streaming. When they are gone, so is the deal, so don't dawdle too long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digiblur Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Have 32gig touchpad. An awesome device after ICS is loaded. The kids have a kindle fire. I didn't load ICS on it yet. Just loaded a prerooted rom with the google market keys fixed. Great tablet for the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about waiting, but I will probably replace my Galaxy Tab with a Nexus Tablet. Especially if they make a 10 incher... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyroscott Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Got mine today, stupid supersaver, haven't had much of a chance to play with it, but does it have a screen burn in issue? The screen is really nice except it seems like there are ghost images all the time. The case for my Galaxy Tab fits like a glove, except one speaker is covered up.

We don't have the screen issue with ours. You may want to consider calling Amazon. A refurb product should be like brand new. That's no bueno.

pyroscott Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 The Kindle Fire is back on Gold Box deal today $139 for a refurb KF.

She won't let me touch it! However, this new one is mine. Since I am used to an ICS tablet, I'm not wild about going to KF ROM. At a minimum, I will put an ICS launcher on it. I may go all the way with an ICS build. Robert via NOVO7PALADIN Tablet using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert via NOVO7PALADIN Tablet using Forum Runner I haven't messed with mine very much, I had issues with ghosting on my first one so I sent it back for a replacement. All I did on my second one is read a book so far. I may test the waters and see what is out there. It is nice to finally have a tablet with developer support. My Galaxy Tab WiFi has almost ZERO devs on it. The ones with cell radios have good dev support, but not the wifi only one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyroscott Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Rooting and romming this is kind of a pain. All my settings were incorrect on my computer. I worked through it, so if anyone has problems with rooting the kf, send me a PM. I'm trying out gedeROM right now.
