I bring you Fire...

Or rather Fay brought me Fire.
She got a new Kindle Fire and gave me her old one. It definitely works for reading my ebooks and saved HTML files. So-so for web browsing. I haven't checked music and video yet.
Touch screen is annoying at times. Doesn't like my fingers for selecting stuff. Gonna pick up a stylus and see if that helps.
*Definitely* need a bluetooth keyboard! Entering URLs is a pain with the on-screen keyboard.
Gotta get a case that'll hold it and the keyboard as well.
Also gotta see about a few apps. I have to dig into things to see how exactly to get LastPass and Xmarks to work on it. That'll save a *lot* of typing.
And it wants to use Overdrive to read the epub files on the micro-SD card. It *should* be trying to use the regular kindle reader for those. Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually.
