i have the kindle fire HD - got it last Monday. I am now using it to run six calendars (work, two hiking groups, two small businesses and a group I volunteer for) pulling google calendars into it, several email addresses, Evernote (syncing with it - I also run Evernote on my iMac and laptop), reminders/to do list, and streaming video from Amazon Prime as well as a freebie "borrowed" book that Prime entitles me to each month.

The Dolby speakers have very nice sound, and Downtown Abbey in HD is quite nice to watch even on such a small screen.

It came pre-installed with an office app. I may get a small bluetooth keyboard from Thinkgeek and use it to work on a book I'm going to write.

Nothing wrong with it. I may geek it so I can get to the Google Play store, for some of the apps Amazon doesn't have.
