I know nothing about them, but my wife want's one [and I get to pay
for it]. What are the advantages [or not] over a Xume, iPhone, and a
host of other lightning technology talkie gadgets out there?

The fire can be used like a tablet, but they're having a lot of trouble
with them crashing, etc. Amazon is already sending out firmware and
software updates for them.

I understand that some book files downloaded to the Fire are unreadable but
are able to be read on the earlier Kindles. Sounds like a few bugs needed
to be fixed before being released.
