Amazon Kindle Fire registers strong Black Friday sales, 8 week on top of Amazon’s charts
The Amazon Kindle Fire might not be a direct iPad competitor, but it’s shaping up to be the second most successful tablet on the market. Amazon has issued a rosy press release confirming the huge demand for the Kindle Fire, which has stayed on top of Amazon.com’s best selling devices for 8 weeks in a row.

Your eyes minimum focusing distance is 25cm, and it won't look nearly as good as on a 10-bit TV. 9. crzykiller (Posts: 85; Member since: 03 Jan 2015) Tyrion... I mean you say a lot of good stuff on the site but what the hell are you talking about here? I can focus my eyes on something at about 13cm away. Where the hell did your 25cm come from?
