    Anyone know if these Australian Kindles are been tried to the Australian Amazon book store? I hope not … I hear once you lock yourself into the AUS store front you can't go back to the USA one!

      I hear otherwise…

        I would believe anything in the SMH :P

      that is for the 7"

      Not sure if they sell the 8.9"

      • oz-dave on 06/01/2014 - 11:25

        As you say below, the description theearth links to says 7"
        Dick Smith have the 7" Kindle Fire HD for $149 or $219
        It seems the confusion with pricing is based on 7" vs 8.9" and 1st Gen vs. 2nd Gen (which isn't specifically stated by some vendors listings)

    7" 8GB $188 @ Bigw

    8.9" 16GB $198

    Save a lot more than $30 - these were snapped up fast before when $229 (were $329).
    And good luck finding any!

    Great display and sound hardware, but no google apps or app store pre-installed. You need to side-load them.
    i.e. download the apk files and install. Then there are some problems, e.g. alerts in gmail. And google earth does not work for me.

    Cyanogenmod is available.

  • mlburnian on 06/01/2014 - 13:05

    would stay away from this tablet. The browsing is terrible, after all it is a superseded model. THe only pros are the screen and the size. Alos, the amazon appstore is well behind play and ios.

    • redcreek200 on 06/01/2014 - 13:24

      Depends on what your intended use is I guess. Reading and video would be good. More general tablet use, yes I'd look elsewhere myself.

      It is a little frustrating seeing superseded models peddled off here. Not just kindle, nexus and others are the same.

      Folks, those of you who get disappointed by Amazon platform, cheer up - there's another 3rd party out there that allows you to format your Kindle into Android device, also capable of restoring to original state in case for warranty purposes.

      Their website as follows: http://n2aos.com/

      I believe these are old model selling at DSE, hence, can be used with their software.

      • hotwinter on 06/01/2014 - 16:28

        $19.99? That's not very ozbargainer…

        • Hellfire on 06/01/2014 - 16:59

          Cyanogenmod seems a much better choice.

    • bargaino on 06/01/2014 - 13:51

      The browsing is terrible

      Are you using Silk? Try firefox or Chrome.

      • mlburnian on 06/01/2014 - 20:04

        I side loaded chrome, still cumbersome. I

    Out of stock now.

    • Thomaskt on 06/01/2014 - 17:35

      It shows in stock again.

  • trinest on 12/01/2014 - 21:56

    Forgetting about the Kindle Fire for a moment, what is the difference between first gen kindle paperweight and whatever is the current one?
