Yikes. Mine has yet to arrive and I already don't want it. Great review.

  This review is pretty over the top negative. Not saying it's wrong, but the product has over a thousand reviews on Amazon.com and the average is four stars. You can always take a trip out to best buy/target/etc. to play with it.

    That distribution of reviews doesn’t look very healthy. Compared to the other Kindles it’s doing badly as far as reviews are concerned.

      So far I don't trust any kind of analysis of the reviews. One of the top negative reviews was, "Didn't have a camera. WTF. Returned."

        Really? How could someone be so stupid as not to check something like that if it was that important to them?

        That’s always going to happen. I think that looking at the distribution of reviews and also reading a few negative reviews (because it’s generally possible to figure out whether reviews are negative for valid reasons) is very helpful.

          I know, but my thought is to give it a couple weeks, and the percent of noise should go down.

  Maybe you should wait until you get it and make up your own mind? I haven't used it but I wouldn't put much faith in a "review" by an Apple fanboy who refuses to port his hugely popular instapaper app to Android because he hates it.

  If Amazon hasn't shipped your Fire yet, you may be able to cancel your order. I did!
