Weight is the killer factor for me. I haven't played with a fire, but the iPad is annoying to hold for any significant period of time without leaning or propping it against something. That said, a Kindle 3 is only 250g and an iPad is 600g which is what the comparison is in my mind. I am not sure where the ~400g Fire lies in that regard.
