The Kindle Fire is not an iPad killer. It's a color Nook killer. The two Kindle models correspond exactly to the two Nook models. The iPad is a different kind of device. Kindle is a reader. The Kindle 3 is an electronic book, the Kindle Fire is more like a magazine. The iPad is a general purpose computer that just happens to be delightfully useable. There is no basis for the assumption the any one of these devices is going to kill the other. Many consumers will want both.
