Kindle Fire Comparison VS Kindle Touch 3G - The Kindle Fire is best for those that want a tablet PC that handles all of the most important functions and does away with some of the least used functions found on other tablet PCs like the Kindle Touch 3G. This focus on the most important functions of a tablet PC has allowed Amazon to offer the Kindle Fire at an incredible price-point of only $199. If you always wanted to get a tablet PC but couldn’t afford something like the Kindle Touch 3G, this is for you. Below is my review :

The tone in this article is entirely inappropriate (e.g. "We asked Amazon why on earth this is"). Indeed, the regular Kindle costs $139 before tax in the US, and if you deduct VAT from the UK price of £109, you get £91, which is approximately $145. So the "eye-gouging markup" you refer to is actually $6 (4.3%)! The situation is the same for most consumer electronics, e.g. Apple products, as I'm sure you're well aware. The only point worth noting in this article is that Amazon does not (yet?) offer the cheaper ad-supported Kindle in the UK.
