[citation][nom]g00fysmiley[/nom]bring in the kindle fire xl... (hopigng it exists and brings a 9+ inch screen and under $300 ) am surprised they are ending the kindle fire completely though i would think with a price cut they would keep selling liek hotcakes[/citation]If you read carefully you'd see that in addition to the Fire XL and Fire HD, they're releasing an updated Fire at a cheaper price. Meaning, they've taken the existing Fire, tweaked it a bit (physical volume rocker, for one) and are selling it for less. Why continue to make the Fire, when they can make a slightly better Fire and it costs the same?[citation][nom]bustapr[/nom]FINALLY! This is something Ive been waiting for forever. Just hope the price is right.[/citation]I'm with you there! This might be the first new Kindle device that gets me to replace my Kindle Keyboard model. Heck the "ads" are just on the lock page and a tiny banner. So if they sell a reduced-price model with ads I'll take it!
