If only they had included Whispersync!
If only they had included 3G!
However, with my 2 previous Kindles, for my purposes I wanted access to lots of books without having a mule around to carry all them with me. I have a smart phone for most of the things that would clog up the Fire, and with such little free time, I love the Kindle's simplicity but with the other options included - i.e. Share passages with Facebook or Twitter, highlight and take notes which are indexed, and not having to remember where I left my flashlight if I want to read in bed.
I'm also liking the Newsstand since carrying around magazines has never been something I do.
There are a few minor quirks I've yet to figure out - like where to touch the screen to be able to go back to Home. At one point, the Silk browser kept crashing - but only on non-Amazon websites....hhmmmmm....
I found Netflix in the app store, and I'm Prime Member (since 1999 [I hate to shop]) so I can stream Amazon's video content free. The image qualities are way more than I expected. The images are gorgeous.
Now I won't hesitate so much anymore about purchasing a photography e-book instead of the hard copy.
If only they'd included wi-fi!
