Amazon Kindle Fire..?

Hi, I'm in the market for a tablet and was wondering what you thought of the Fire.

Since I'm a college student, my primary use would be for apps, reading e-textbooks, and internet.

The dealbreaker is that there is no expandable memory. Apart from the Amazon Cloud, Google Cloud, and Microsoft SkyDrive, is there any other free online storage (that doesn't expire). Or any other ways to survive non-expandable memory?

If you don't like the Fire, is there any other tablet that you would recommend? Please be mindful that I'm a broke college student so $250 is the limit

Thanks in advance. If you need any details, I will add some. And yes I know this is the wrong category, but this where the users are!

I actually vaguely considered a Fire, which I never did for an iPad, just because the price is more attractive for something I wouldn't use that much. But much more appealing to me was the announcement of a hundred-dollar Kindle Touch. That might finally make me cave on the e-reader thing.

I'm going to put in behind the "don't get it until there are more reviews" thing, though. You seem to have a pretty good idea of how you want to use it and how the differing features relate to that--I'd just add that with the Kindle you get unlimited Cloud storage for media from Amazon, so if you're a big Amazon downloader that could be persuasive. Less so without 3G, perhaps.

If your budget is $250, Kindle fire is your best option. Amazon Cloud Drive provides 5 GB of free storage. If you buy e-books from Amazon, that does not count towards the storage. 8GB internal storage + 5 GB cloud drive is a lot for books and apps.

Drop $299 and get yourself a Vizio Tablet. It will do everything you want it to do and has an 8" screen instead of 7". That 1" makes a big difference.
