As an owner of an Amazon Kindle 3 e-reader, for the past year, I was thrilled when Amazon announced the arrival of their newest product, the Kindle Fire. As a Kindle author I’ve published several travel and art books filled with color photos, so I immediately preordered one, waiting anxiously for my new tablet to ship some time the last week of November.
Then, a few weeks later I found an ad for a Vizio 8″ tablet that was on sale for the same price as the Kindle Fire. I couldn’t get the Vizio tablet out of my head. After studying the specs on this tablet, I cancelled my Kindle Fire order and rushed to pick up the last Vizio tablet at my local Walmart.
I wanted to test out the onscreen virtual keyboard and other features before investing in the Vizio, but couldn’t do this, so I agreed to take it home and try it out. I fell in love with it and wanted to keep it, but unfortunately, I picked up a defective model. At first all was well; it was only after I had called a Vizio tech to erase some settings that the device froze up on me.
Disappointed, I had to return it. Rather than find another one at another store, I pre-ordered another Kindle Fire. On a positive note, one day of playing around with the Vizio 8″ tablet gave me enough information about this gadget.
Which is better? It all depends on what you’re expecting from a tablet. Because my Kindle Fire hasn’t yet arrived, I don’t have first-hand experience with the Fire. But from my research I have a fairly good idea of how the two tablets compare.

Both these tablets offer much in the way of entertainment, music, movies and other perks. Again, it all boils down to personal preference. What do you want? If you want more of an e-reader, then the Kindle Fire is probably better, although the old Kindle 3 can’t be beat with its long month-long battery life. But, if you’re looking for more internet features, such as a GPS and camera, then go for the Vizio. Either way, they’re both good ideals for the price, as they’re only around $199.
