Start the kindle fire

While browsing the Amazon site this morning I noticed a little blurb at the top of the page about the new Kindle family.  Family?   I clicked the button to be one of the first to see the new color Kindle Fire media tablet.

I ordered mine at 11 AM.   I couldn't order the purple case I wanted until later because the link for purple gave me brown instead.    Turns out I was 2 hours before the official announcement and had caught the webmasters as they were updating the content.

Ordered a Kindle Touch, also, with 3G.

Almost went for the brand new $79 Kindle simplified, but when I saw it did not support Audible books, it was a deal-breaker.   Even after ordering 2 versions of the device I still spent less than iPad 1 16 G Wifi tablet.   (available used on Ebay and Cowboom)

The only bad part is I have to wait til November to see it.
