This pretty much mirrors my recent experience.

My 68 year old mother bought one when they came out in mid-November. When back home at Thanksgiving, I installed a wireless router for her and got the Fire set up.

After playing around with it for a bit, I found it slow, counter-intuitive and ultimately frustrating compared to my iPad. I'm no APL fan boy, but I was not at all impressed by the Fire.

I suppose that it does meet Amazon's modest goals, at roughly a third of the price of an iPad and maybe a third of the capability.
