The Kindle Fire again proved a popular electronic gift in 2013, with activations of the Amazon device on Christmas Day spiking 24 times the average during the first three weeks of December. That compares to low-single-digit gains for activations of Apple and Samsung devices.

Well heck, the Fire HD is only $129 for the base model. Not surprised. My two nephews (age 10 and 8) both got one.
 
Let me know when you can transfer programming with Dish Anywhere onto one, with Dish support.

Yeah we got one for our daughter as well. At that price it was an easy decision.

Even better deal. But owning a Fire HDX and an iPad 3, the reality is the Fire is a nice specific-use device, but it pales in comparison to the iPad overall. Thus, while numbers are important, they don't tell the whole story.

My wife has the hdx and my daughter has the HD.

You pegged it . Great specific use device and good for kids but the amazon streaming app aside, (which I can replicate on my dell) I've always been partial to more "multipurpose" tablets like the nexus, ipad, and now my dell windows tablet.

That said most won't care. It's easy to use, cheap, and amazon does well with marketing it
