Cannot believe what we have been missing. We are a tech family, and have been Ipad fans from the get go, have owned all three versions. Never even considered the Kindle until I saw one with no glare to read. So we thought for the price and Amazons great return policy why not try the new HD out and see how it is for reading.OH MY WORD......(mouth open) it is awesome. Reading books on this is like night and day to our Pads. The screen is rich and clear, the abilities to adjust things is great and love the being able to download books through Amazon right to the Kindle. Okay, that in itself was just grand, however being able to watch our movies through HDMI cords to our TV and download and shop with Amazon with such ease was such a nice treat. :)Yes, we still love our Pads and they have their own place, but I like that I can now keep my Pad at home and tote the Kindle around with me with so much ease..it is light weight, small and perfect for my purse. We like it so much we ordered another 7" today, but with 32gb this time for me and hubby will use the 16gb one. We were waiting for the Mini Pad, but once we saw the specs and the screen pixelation, we came right to Amazon and ordered another Kindle Fire HD...Go figure..Goes to show you good things CAN come in small packages!! It's light, fits in my hand and I can still do the daily stuff I used to do on Pad with it. Oh and did I mention some of the Apps are wayyyy cheaper on the Kindle than Apple? Same apps too...yes I do realize they do not need retina and such for the Kindle, but we don't need that for a lot of the apps we use anyways.Get it...it works, it can go with you easier and it ROCKS!! 

Question: What is your impression of the product?
