Kindle Fire

Who has one and is it worth getting one. I realize you have to do some special things to get it to work in Canada. If anyone wishes to post here or PM me with instructions on how to get it to d/l movies and such let me know. I may end up returning it if owning one is too much of a hassle.

Worth every cent and then some. I've been using mine for about 6 months and I haven't had to do anything special to get it to work in Canada. You need to use an American address to access some content from Amazon though (I use Weirs without problem). I don't need an Ipod - the fire does everything I'll ever need, including books, newspapers, internet surfing, email and movies. I love my Kindle Fire! The only movies I've watched were from Netflix.

do you have to use a USA charge card. I don't have netflix.

I use my Canadian Mastercard but most of what I download buy are free apps, games and books. I have netflix for my home and the account works on my Kindle fire too. I haven't tried to download a movie - just streamed them.

i just have alot of books on mine and some free apps, i bought a kindle fire gift card to order things from amazon but they won't let me download music or movies on it because we are not from the states, and I only found one site that will let me watch a movie the rest says i don't have anything to open them, still not sure how to use it yet,

I have a kobo and love it but i can't watch movies it is strictly for reading but that is all I wanted it for.
