Am I the only one who finds the use of the term 'human' here to be really annoying? Like, anyone who actually enjoys using a Kindle Fire is somehow less human? The implication that 'humans' like a certain kind of device that works in a certain kind of way, and that 'humans' could not possibly like devices that fall outside these parameters is somewhat insulting to people who would like to make that choice for themselves. This review is Marco Arment's review of the Kindle Fire, not the final verdict of the entire human race.

(Disclosure: I own an iPad 2 and an old-style Kindle and won't be buying a Kindle Fire).



Yes, I also found that peculiar. I wish he had explained what he meant by that. Are all of the other Kindle Fire reviews not from humans? I'm confused.
