I find the iPad large enough that I often just reach for my Macbook Air because it&apos;s far more useful and not really much larger.&lt;p&gt;But something closer to the size of a book is less cumbersome and more comfortable for reading and browsing, which is what I&apos;m doing with a tablet 90% of the time anyway.&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m going to go out on a limb a bit here and predict that Apple will regret ignoring this segment and that they&apos;re going to eventually have to shake up their developer tooling to deal with varying form factors.</text></comment>

However, it has two major defects.&lt;p&gt;1) Amazon appstore only (I haven&apos;t bothered rooting it).&lt;p&gt;2) Wonky interface. It&apos;s android and you can tell. It&apos;s like using a cheap android phone, unpleasant and slow. (I have a droid bionic that is much faster, but obviously more expensive).&lt;p&gt;At this price point I can easily buy another $200 table and not feel bad about it. Plus I still get the kindle app, my amazon apps will all move over.&lt;p&gt;I use my Fire way too much not to upgrade to something better. I do this for the 7&quot; form factor, the 10&quot; tablet (android or iOS) simply would not be as useful.</text></comment>
