Specifically what did you find so awful about the Kindle Fire? I bought one and I'm quite happy with it. I've experienced some problems with connectivity and the browser freezing occasionally but that's it. A hard reboot every once in awhile seems to solve both. What makes the other tablets so much better? I haven't used them so I have no point of reference.

The Kindle Fire is very slow, runs an old version of Android (seriously, 4.1 on the Nexus 7 is fantastic), and is maliciously limited: the Fire disallow installing Google Play if you install it yourself unless the device is rooted, for example. And it feels ridiculously cheap in the hands compared to a Nexus 7 (which isn't perfect, but the 7" size is great) or an iPad (which feels much better but the 10" size is like carting around a small dinner plate).
