I have one. It's fast and plays movies well, lots of "free" movies with Amazon prime ($84/year)
It probably is heavier than the Galaxy tab 8" or Ipad, but that's because of the glass.
Unless you intentionally attempted to break your Kindle, you still might not even scratch the glass although you might break everything else behind it. Peace of mind when you think about how easily most other touch screens scratch.
Wifi N is only 2.4ghz. I have a dual band router and won't see the 5ghz but doesn't have problems with 2.4ghz.
I also heard there will be a performance issue patch "soon" from amazon.
All in all a great gift, my wife loves it. Of course we didn't have another tablet to compare with but at this price the tech in it, and virtually indestructible screen you can't go wrong.
PS No issues with Angry birds.
it is piece of s....t!
it is a piece of gold
