it really is quite sad how this thread is littered with comments like the one above
YOU DIDN'T GET IT
Posts like this are painful to read. Not only because you don't get it. But because it is CLEAR you posted without reading the thread at all because it's been discussed several times. But here it is one more time - just for you...
No one (not even Amazon) is trying to tell you that you should buy 3 devices.
They are saying - that for families or budget minded individuals that you don't have to spend the money on an iPad - there are options. If you're buying an iPad to e-read - there's the kindle. And if you want to eread AND email, watch movies and surf the next - there's the fire. And you can buy one or more devices for your family and still be less than an iPad.
To repeat - Amazon is not trying to sell you on having to carry or buy THREE devices.
And while yes right now there's a sun issue, who knows what is about to happen on that front.
Youre right. I apologize for not having as much time as you to do nothing but read every last post of a multi page topic i am posting on. I see that as an area of personal growth for me.
Unfortunately, every post of yours is always painful to read. I do, however, appreciate the help. With your wisdom, criticism and leadership I can only hope to be on your level one day.

No, the fact that Range Rovers are bad trucks with poor reliability makes the Kia Rio a better car.
You could have picked a better comparison, like a Honda Ridgeline or Toyota Sequoia.
In other words, Kindles are cheap and you have to carry 3 to do things that can be handled well (if not better) by just one device. Horrible ads.
The "I'm a Mac" campaign did not involve a specific PC device.
When you mention, let alone show a competitor's product in an Ad, you've already lost.
What in that link is supposed to deem my post 'wrong'?
Do you really need to question that?
Clearly you made an erroneous statement and samcraig called you out with a link to an ad from apple that mentions not one but almost ALL OF past and present Windows OS'es.

Windows OS's are not "devices".

Did you not get the memo? It's ok when Apple does it.
On a serious note, it always amuses me when the Apple fanboys are less informed about Apple then the more level headed members of the forum.
Let's split hairs shall we?
Really? It's ok to admit you were wrong or mistaken.

I believe Windows is a product. I believe I quoted you verbatim.
No, I choose my words carefully, I wrote "device", not "product".
If you don't see why such nuance is important for this specific conversation, I don't think it's even worth debating it any further.

You might have meant device - but you wrote in the same post
"When you mention, let alone show a competitor's product in an Ad, you've already lost."
Your words. Back peddle all you want. It says more about you than anything else.
Clearly you did NOT choose your words carefully. If you don't see the difference in nuances when you get called out on them - well that's your problem.
the ipad is horribly overpriced, just like every other apple product available.
So because a company does not try to make obscene amount of profit margins like Apple and instead going for a smaller profit margin they are stupid?
Well, kindle stuff is more specialized: an iPad can hardly beat the reading experience of an e-ink screen (at least with traditional books), especially given how bad ibooks performs (at least on my original ipad, very crashy).
But it still amazes me that they advertise this as: "hey, I have this other device for browsing and watching movies, and it costs about the same!"
to which the guy should reply: "Hey, so I pay about the same and carry all that functionality with me in a single device!"
For me it is obvious that if you want ebook reading, an ebook is a better choice. For multimedia, just get a "real" tablet. IMHO.
But yeah, nice "try"/marketing.
