"As long as you don't root, your choice of apps is limited,"
Hi Sorry but you are just wrong here
I can Side load any Android App Via USB that doe not override the kindle keyboard Just copy the .apk file over
and tap to install.
"I don't know, the rest of the world refuses to buy th kindle and if you will read reviews that aren't from the us, they all state one thing,......."
AKAIK the OP did not state that he is living outside the U.S.
so the complaints of non US tablet consumers are not relevant in this thread.
"The problem is that because of U.S. import policy you are deprived of good alternatives"
This is not a thread about U.S. trade policy
it is a thread where one person requested opinions on low cost tablet options
feel free to voice your concern about US trade policy to the Obama Administration.
" alternatives that are lower priced, like yarvik or lenovo and argos."
Again the OP is looking for a device in the $200 USD range
LENOVO:
"For the purposes of this review, we checked out the $569 32GB model, though you can also opt for a 16GB version ($499) or a 64GB number ($699). Lenovo's also selling a $60 dock with USB 2.0, micro-USB, HDMI, headphone and line-out ports, along with that $30 pen we've been using to practice our cursive."
The Yarvivk has a screen resolution of 800x600 and only 3 hours of video playback and single core
the KF has 7.5 hours of video playback and a 1024x600 screen res and a duo core processor
Argos is a U.K. retailer again We assume the OP is from the US unless he states other wise.
Cheers
