Re you happy with yours?
YES!!......I LOVE it!

Does it take ages to load web pages?
No, not at all

Any down sides to using it?
Screen not as big as IPad but it's big enough

I was going to get one but the reviews on the web are mixed now.
I highly recommend it!! You can't beat the price and all the non-customer reviews were pretty stellar

I really dont have the patience if its going to be slow loading pages....
It's not slow. a lot of that will depend on your internet connection too. I haven't had a problem with pages loading.

Any feedback?
I love it, it's worth every penny and it does probably 80% of what an IPad can do for WAY less than half the price. I recommend it without hesitation.

Re: Kindle Fire Users

I have a question: My GF is thinking of getting one for her stepdaughter. She wants to know if she can play Pandora on it.

Does anyone know?

Movies, TV, music, internet, FB, games, read........etc. etc. Think mini-IPad. It's a multimedia tablet and it's AWESOME! LOVE it!

Re: Kindle Fire Users

We have it. I'm not thrilled with it.

The biggest downside is no 3G. After that, I don't like that you can only stream the Amazon Prime content and not download it.

Personally, I would get an ipad or wait for the next version of the Kindle Fire (rumoured to release in the spring).
