We did start the Kindle Fire.

The first thing you would notice that Amazon ships the Kindle Fire in a “frustration free” packaging; it doesn’t require any sharp objects to open. Inside the box there’s the Kindle Fire and the micro-USB charger.

Just like any Amazon Kindle purchased directly through Amazon.com, the Kindle Fire is automatically registered to the account the unit purchased with. Before anything else started, Kindle Fire automatically downloads Kindle Software Update Version 6.1. The software update includes E-mail client.

After a good 5 minutes, the Kindle Fire restarts and is ready to use.

Two notable things for now.

One, Adobe Flash Player 10.3 ships with Kindle Fire.

Two, Netflix is available at Amazon Appstore for Android.

There are a lot more to explore in Kindle Fire, I’ll get to that later.

Kindle Fire: The Arrival.

It’s been a busy day for myself and the delivery companies. Kindle Fire finally arrived at my doorstep, so to speak.

I have yet to open the package since dinner is a priority right now. I’ll be back in an hour or so to open the package.

Amazon.com and California, the Sales Tax War Rages On.

Previously on Amazon.com and California:

Amazon.com terminates its Associates Program in California in response to Governor Jerry Brown signing the law that requires online retailers to collect sales taxes even though they don’t have any physical presence in California.

The New York Times reports that:

Amazon said this week that it would push a voter initiative in California that could eliminate sales tax for virtual sellers with only a modest physical presence in the state.

Amazon.com founder and CEO Jeff Bezos supports the streamlined sales tax initiative, which should be legislated by the federal government.

Things You Don’t Want To Buy Used from Amazon.com

Amazon.com is one of the most popular and complicated websites in the world. It is also one of if not the biggest online retailer. Amazon.com was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 and went online in 1995. It started as an online book-store and now sells varieties of products such as music (CD’s), movies (DVD’s), clothing, electronics, health products and even groceries.

Amazon.com is a great place to buy used products like books, CD’s, DVD’s and electronics. Unfortunately there are certain products you don’t want to buy “used” from the online retailer.

  1. Milk
  2. Chewing Gum
  3. Toothbrushes
  4. Underwear
  5. Toilet Paper
  6. Tampons
  7. Condoms

In actuality, none of the products above are sold used, it is merely some “glitch” in the programming. It is still amusing to think that there are “used” ones available for sale.
