So far the Kindle Fire has been reported to have a bunch of problems. Here are a few of the problems that people have with it, there is no external volume control. The off switch is easy to hit by accident. Web pages take a long time to load. There is no privacy on the device; a spouse or child who picks it up will instantly know everything you have been doing. The touch screen is frequently hesitant and sometimes downright balky. I must agree with all of it. I have had a Fire for a few days now and right now I am questioning if it was the right move. Granted I don’t the type of money for an iPad but with my case and accidental protection I spent close to $300. Although Amazon is promising an update that may fix most of the problems, obviously the design flaws of no volume button can’t be fixed over the air. This update should be in two weeks and I will like to see what it has to offer. Maybe then I might be somewhat satisfied with my purchase, but as of right now, not so much.
