What counts is overall satisfaction. If you can buy a refurbished iPad for the price of the Fire, do that! If “good” is good enough for you, settle with less, but consider this: http://tekcrunch.posterous.com/thinking-kindle-fire-consider-this-for-2-minu

I find the analysis to be rridiculous, the ipads are more than twice the cost for Fire, and it’s no secret that the fire is a wifi only device when it’s purchased so I don’t understand consumer frustration with that when they knew that when they bought it. If anything this just shows that people are foolish. It’s a $199 tablet, ofcourse you’re not going to get all the bells and whistles.

Interesting that the Fire seems to generate the same 50%-ish “very satisfied” scores as seen for other non-iPad tablets that have sold so badly. I take it that other factors besides word-of-mouth, such as Amazon’s reputation, are driving its sales.
