Q. I like the Amazon kindle, but I heard Sony has them, too. Could someone help me find the best and affordable one?
If better ones come out later, what makes them better than the ones now?
A. The main competitor for the Amazon Kindle is the Sony Reader. In my opinion, the Kindle is the better option. Since Amazon is in the business of books, there are MANY more titles available through Amazon than through Sony, and the Kindle also has wireless. There are a few other readers out there, but they are much more expensive, and the advantages you might get out of them (slightly larger screen)aren't worth the added cost. The current Sony reader is second generation, while the Kindle is first generation, so there might be fewer bugs to be worked out than with the Kindle, but it doesn't seem that the Kindle has that many bugs to begin with!
Amazon hasn't said when a second generation Kindle will be coming out, so it will be a while. The current Kindle is an excellent book reader, and I think any future versions will only differ than this one in the bells and whistles. To be honest, I don't want or need my books to have bells and whistles, so I don't think it would be worth the wait, or worth upgrading to a second generation Kindle.

Q. I've tried downloading just about every version, but every time I try to use something that requires it, it tells me I need to upgrade my flash player. which version of flash player do I use? how do I get to see everything I've downloaded?
A. You get to sideload the Flash on the Kindle Fire HD, and use the version for Android tablet. There's a good discussion here on whether to download Flash installation file and other files, it should work

What is the benefit of the upgrade to the kindle hd?
Q. I have the regular fire and I'm wondering if its worth it to upgrade? Does it have a camera? Can you skype? What is the quality? Please any user info would be great:)
A. Yes they put a camera this time and it is 1.3MP with 1280 x 1024 pixels quality which is HD in other words.

Look into pros. Point 6:
"6. Front facing camera works great for SKYPE. Quality was better than that on my SIII phone"
Technically speaking Galaxy s3 has a 720p camera which is 1280*720. So he is right about the quality being better.
