Do you mean, as a color tablet? The Fire is, but it's more of an Amazon consumption device than a true tablet. Do some research before you go that route.

I really like Kindle Fire, because it adds flexibility among my other devices. For me, it makes more sense to have devices from various platforms, from diff manufacturers, because I can do more overall. But if I could afford only one tablet, I'd still stick with a 10" tablet. For real work, I still need PCs, though. For me, no matter size or maker, any tablet really is a consumption device.

I'm out; it's priced too high for a pure luxury item. My iPad 3 is my big splurge device. I might pick up a Fire HD down the road. I wouldn't be surprised to see discounted refurbs in another few months.

Almost....final decision to be made tomorrow.

I don't understand how you'd compromise on screen quality when you and others fell so hard for retina screen on iPad 3. I remember reading a lot of comments from iPad 3 owners who disparaged iPad 1 and 2 screens by comparison. Given that, I'd expect retina screen diehards to shudder at the idea of returning to an old screen on mini iPad.

Me, I've never been hooked on retina screen, though I've had it since iPhone 4. I see the diff between it and non-retina screen, but it's never bothered me to go back and forth, and retina screen didn't get me to upgrade from iPad 1 and 2.

I'm not tempted by mini iPad because I don't want to buy a new device with repackaged iPad 2 guts. I'm tempted by iPad 4, though.
