The other Kindles have ability of providing all those books in audio for those with print disabilities and I assume the Kindle Fire also has that capability so it appears Amazon is concerned about those readers you talk about.

Amazon is such a trusted brand that people figure how can you go wrong for $199. If you don’t like this model you’ll probably be able to sell it on eBay very quickly. I expect Amazon won’t stop here. Once they get a loyal following they’ll introduce 3G, camera, etc.

I think I’m going to buy one for development purposes. The price point makes this the platform of the future. Way to go Amazon!!

I, for one, will not be purchasing a Kindle Fire device. As a blind user, I would love to have access to the millions of books that Amazon offers. But, no effort was made to ocnsider accessibility to assistive technologies or to build it in. Why should I and other people with print disabilities spend our hard-earned money with a company who has no real care for our needs? I posted this Tumblr post when the announcement was made: http://ppatel.tumblr.com/post/10771455940

There aren’t any: Apple doesn’t report iPads shipped; they only report how many they sold, which is a much more realistic data point over units shipped.

$199 is a killer price point.. Apple has a aura of exclusivity around it but there is still a large market outside it .. Although Q2 survey did say iPad still sold 4 out of every 5 tablets sold in its segment…

Kindle Fire is red hot right now (pardon the pun). It is not an iPad, but a close substitute for $300 cheaper.
