Kindle Fire Review

I was originally thinking of skipping Kindle Fire because I’m happy with the original iPad, but when I visited my parents back in October, Dad said he was considering of buying an Android tablet.

That made me buy this Kindle Fire, hoping this could be an actually “usable” Android tablet for him.

Yet, this blog post could be useful to explain how this alert system works, even if the rumor turns out to be false.
