Kindle Fire: The e-reader that that thinks it's an iPad

The all-colour, bargain-priced Kindle Fire will ignite the tablet market... so it's a pity it's hard to read books on

Amazon's old-style books-only Kindle has always the been the gadget I turn to when I fancy a break from gadgets. 

It rarely visits a power socket, and never beeps, shines LCD lights into your eyes, or says the words 'System failure'. It barely feels like electronics at all. 

So I've always felt my upper lip want to twitch up into a sneer at the idea of Kindle Fire. Videos? Music? Games? On a Kindle?

It's the gadget equivalent of Bob Dylan going electric. Fire, though, is liable to be 2012's cheapest tablet. 

In the U.S., it's $200, and while ancient tradition dictates that no Californian technology company is allowed to pass on American savings to British users, it's still liable to knock a hole in the bottom of the tablet market, and let all the slime (ie, the terrible, cheap, no-brand Androids) leak out. ........
