Silk browser. Pretty cool,actually. Great screen resolution, nice looking videos on YouTube. Two fin ger typing sucks, though. But she got it cheap on Black Friday. I gave her a kiss. Thanks, love!

Nice SPAM. This is what, the third or fourth product you've purchased that you've flogged here? Romulox Dec 2012 #12

the most useful and my favorite thing I own. I'm a person who doesn't want much more than exactly what I need to live. I know now that I need my Kindle Fire to live, lol!

You're right about the typing. If I am using it to view DU, like when lying in bed at bedtime, I only respond to posts if my response is short, lol.

But I haven't read as much since childhood as I have since getting this Fire. Now I have most of the classics and many, many books.

It's a report on how DU looks on that device. Further, I didn't purchase it. It was a gift.

You're welcome, of course, to alert on the post.
