I have a Word program, and it's easy to edit on. I can check my email, browse the web, stream music and netflix (though I've not done this, I know others who have). I can also play games, but had to delete them Suzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-51510814935452928232012-02-20T22:27:05.258-05:002012-02-20T22:27:05.258-05:00My favorite feature on my kindle is the text to sp...My favorite feature on my kindle is the text to speech capability, so I don't think I could give that up for the Fire.

Streaming via Netflix is one of the things I want to do, but haven't yet. And how do you work on your WIPs? Do you upload your doc to the cloud? See, I know there are lots of things the Fire can do that I haven't taken advantage of yet. As for WWF... yep, I need to head the call... but how? Is it an app?
