I'm struggling to find a place in my life for a tablet. This one definitely has a great price point vs. iPad3. With the combination of my phone, nook, and laptop I think I'm good. But I really want one.
I love my iPad, but at first was the same as you and didn't think I had a need for it. I like the portability of tablets, easy to grab and browse, emails, etc.
The more I read about the fire, the more I get intrigued. Really want to get my hands on one for a test drive.
