Interesting. Perhaps you could share what it is you didn't like about the Kindle Fire HD? Telling us "it sucks" doesn't really clue us in to what you are looking for. Personally, I own and use quite a few tablets at home/work, and after spending a day with a Kindle Fire, I was impressed enough to put it on my wanted list.
+1
I own a few tablets ipad 3, galaxy 2, Asus transformer, kindle fire hd and just ordered the nexus 10.
And Imo the kindle fire hd gives you the best value for your money. Then then the Asus transformer is a great tablet too.
I'm not impressed with the ipad 3/new ipad I think it's over rated.
The main downside of the kindle fire is that you can't sync it with your Android device there is no Google play store and no Google drive.
