Here's a thing, it does a little more than what the regular Kindle does, its a little prettier than the regular Kindle and its a little more expensive than a regular Kindle.
See, its really not that hard people. If I'm ever in the market for a tablet I'll likely grab this, I don't need a camera or 3G stuff, that's what my Android phone is for.

Maybe.
It looks awesome and it seems that the price is more than right for the whole deal.
Also I want this to pressure tablet manufacturers to bring tablets to a more palatable price for the average joe.

Tablets are kind of nifty, but I would probably never buy one. My lappy is serving me just fine right now.
Not entirely interested in a Tablet at this point but I AM incredibly happy that someone has entered the market with a quality product at a reasonable price which should help drive the OTHER companies to compete by lowering prices.
I mean, $700 for a tablet is beyond stupid. I can get a great laptop at that price!

I'm a hell of a lot more interested in this than every other tablet on the market. Tablets look like fun toys but not for $600.
Not a bad price I guess. I don't need the extras it cut out. But honestly, I don't need this at all so I'm going to pass.
tablets are predicted to start outselling PC's... so yeah, the competitive pricing is bound to heat up - which is nice, because the consumer wins!
I could use one of these. I like to read on the subway and right now I use my phone. The type is rreaaaaaalllly small.
And for those of you who will say "well just bring a book". Sometimes i feel like reading CNN and sometimes i feel like reading Conan, be nice to have an affordable portable with out all the extra BS.

Seems stupid to me to even have kindle in the name why not just call it the amazon tab, the reason I love my kindle is the e-ink that makes it just like reading a book, I dont want to melt my retina with an LCD just before I go to sleep.
I need a tablet, but I'm just going to wait for the Asus Transformer 2. I would get the upcoming Sony tablet, but they seem set on charging as much as humanly possible for the damn thing. This Kindle Fire seems pretty cool, but not for me.
The price makes it perfect. I have a smartphone, but it would be nice to have something bigger while lounging on the couch. My wife has been really wishing for a tablet...
7 inches doesn't really sound that big, and since that guy in the picture can palm it pretty easily, I'm not sure that this is what I'd get considering actual phones aren't that much smaller. I'd probably get this if they had a 10-12 inch screen but all of those features sound nice.
I've been wanting a tablet, this is the right price and feature set for me, though I would be interested in hearing if it supports more memory storage and specifically if it has SD card support.
Regardless, I need a nice mobile device for web browsing and was looking at a portable 4G hotspot. This would go nice with that.

This is a sick price point and something like this to watch movies on the go or in bed makes me happy but I still want the "new" ASUS eee transformer but can not justify spending more than $600 on a tablet.
8gb also scares me as that is not a lot of video or music content.

I like where you're going with this, Dale.
The size puts me off a bit, but for the price and specs this could be fun while at the local coffee shop, and with Amazon Prime this could also be the thing that finally turns me away from Netflix (as if I needed more reasons anyway).
And yes, I see myself gaming on this thing. It doesn't need Sony or Nintendo printed on it to be a valid gaming device, especially during my quiet time when I;m making bears.

I don't need all that extra stuff, just the net, movies, and music; so if I'm into a tablet I'll def look into this.
After the whole HP Touchpad rush shows that cheaper is the best way to get sales, I'd say i'd be interested in getting one of these, just in case my PSVita isn't as open media wise.
I'd love an iPad, but can't afford one. A Kindle Fire (love the name), would make a nice small media player. And if the 8gb is too small, it should surely take SD cards or USB sticks.
Once everyone gets serious on the tablet price like this, more of us will buy one.

I'm actually thinking about selling my iPad 1 and picking one of these up.
I really like the free Cloud service,and Amazon Prime unlimited TV and Movies for $80 a year Idea.
Plus after carrying around an iPad for a year,the smaller size sounds good to me.

I refuse to buy a tablet until pressure-sensitive stylus support is implemented. The only thing I would do on a tablet is read e-books (check) and draw/paint (fail).
I hope one of these overheats and catches fire. Not because I want to see anything bad happen to anyhow, but I just want to see Amazon Kindle a Fire. It'll be SO. DAMN. LITERAL.
Well the only thing stopping me from getting a Kindle was the lack of being able to read full color magazines and comics on it. If this is going to support those things then I'm in.
I'm typing this on my iPad 2, I read books on both my Sony reader and kindle. Completely different beast. The purpose of the reader is the screen, just lovely. As much as I love my ipad the screen isn't good for a proper book so sort of defeats the object. Excellent for the web, games, films etc I'm sure but don't really see the point of it being a kindle. Why not amazon releases tablet.
Not for gaming. Just because it runs Android doesn't mean it's good for games. My entry level smart phone runs Android 2.2, PvZ and Angry Birds, but isn't for gaming.
A $200 media player with Android for web browsing and emails is pretty rad, though
