I found it's easier if I hold the Fire sideways...it expands the keyboard. I'm a large human with large mitts. I see I made a mistake in the thread title, d instead of s, they sit next to each other.

It's certainly no substitute for an actual computer, but we won't have to drag around a big case (17" desktop replacement) while on the road for basic needs. The Fire is no larger than a regular Kindle...

I'm pondering rooting the thing. I'll have to determine if connecting to Amazon is that important, because if you root one you lose that option...
