Kindle Fire HD 8.9 16gb for $269, 32gb for $299

I think amazon like to release a new model

Thats what im seeing as well 32GB for half of what a iPad 32GB is thats awesome. I love Apple but they are going to have to make some changes because im not sure im willing to pay double for a tablet with almost identical features.

There used to be a way to purchase 1 year of 4G service for $50. Is that still in effect?
Edit: Its still in effect but its only 250MB per month. Meh.
Amazon worked closely with AT&T to offer the most affordable 4G tablet data package. This 12 month AT&T 4G data package includes 250MB a month of blazing fast data for a one-time payment of only $49.99, with no monthly payments required. The package also includes 20GB of additional Cloud Drive storage, and a $10 Amazon Appstore promotional credit, at no additional charge. The $49.99 package is only available for the first year of service. If you need more data, additional 3GB and 5GB data plans from AT&T are also available for purchase. You can sign up for a data plan right from your device. See data plan options and browse network coverage

Owned the original Kindle Fire, then bought a HD 8.9 on the valentines day promotion, but ended up returning it.

Original KF was terrible, both hardware and software. Laggy interface, no physical volume buttons, heavy/chunky design and limited content (at the time.) The HD 8.9 was a huge step up in hardware in all departments. Speed, size, weight, feel, controls...everything was improved. The screen was quite awesome (Although I got a dead pixel...)

But overall the software still sucks. The carousel is pretty much best suited for reading...even iPad does better at multitasking.

If you just want a tablet to watch netflix movies, read a few books and play a few of the more popular games then this thing is great. Anything more and I would look elsewhere.

The kindle fire is gorgeous, but Amazon would be better advised to make the UI more like stock android and have their prime perks (amazon prime streaming and kindle lending library) and their free app a day be exclusive to the devices. That would make people buy the fire and not want to change it - the UI itself is not necessary to make it a "kindle" device - android is not hard to use for newbies anymore which was probably what made amazon go down the custom UI route.

How much for 3 gb packages in first year?

After 1 year, how much for 250 mb package?

Can u use flash player ? Can u print coupons from kindle fire? Can u connect wifi printer? Thx

thats very nice of you, trying to get into her pants too?

guluxy note8 should easily beat this...

Anyone know if they're doing anything for those of us that purchased this recently (Feb 5, 2013 in my case)?

Still looks too expensive. HP slate 7" due out in less than a month for $100 less.
