Kindle Fire brings out the geek-out.

The other day, the wife told me she thought the Kindle she got me last year for Christmas must be the best gift she had ever gotten me.  That is to say, I use it constantly.  It made me understand why tablets are important even though its functionality is rather limited for a tablet.
The real genius of the second generation Kindle was that it only did one thing, but it did it extremely well.  If this whole Fire and Silk project goes well for Amazon, I hope it will do the same for everything else I consume from the web.
I'm trying very hard not to drink the koolaid and I'm never an early adopter so, I'll maybe wait until Christmas 2012 to bring this up with my better half, but if the Fire can provide me with google Reader, gmail and youtube as well as the Kindle does books, I'll be sold on it eventually.
