With five of us wedged into a wobbly, four-seater plane, this is a selection of shots from our sweaty one-hour flight from Manaus, in the Brazilian Amazon, to Novo Aripuana -even deeper in the Amazon- and back. Many thanks to Daniel, the pilot, for permitting the use of electronic devices. Aerial view of Manaus, the capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas.

I was unable to justify a Kindle Fire since its release because between my Kindle 3G and my iPad 2, the Kindle Fire at $200 seems to overlap and not really have a place for me. That, and I really don't care for Android OS. Well, I scored one of these refurb Kindle Fires from Amazon during their most recent Gold Box deal last week for an impossible-to-refuse $139, and I am absolutely enamoured with it (especially at that price point).
I am a technologist by trade and training and immediately fell head over heels for the Kindle 3G when I got one. The Kindle 3G for me is a chance and occasion to just read. No email, no apps or banner notifications to distract me - just a bunch of books for me to obsess over and lose myself in. It's an unhindered identity vacation with no distractions that threaten to disturb my fantasy and drag me back to reality. In our day and age where severe attention deficit disorder is encouraged in the workplace and euphemised as "the ability to multitask," this is a godsend.
My initial impressions of the Kindle Fire are as follows:
*The battery life is somewhat lacking so far - I will try turning off WiFi to see if this helps.
*I like the integration with Amazon's Prime streaming video service allowing for free movie/TV viewing, but really don't intend on using it much.
*The Kindle Fire parses PDF files very nicely - the added processing power of this device over my 3G is very obvious here - large PDFs work very well.
*Form factor is spectacular - there is a significant heft to the Fire and the size makes it very hold-able. I'm not saying the Fire wouldn't benefit from cutting some carbs and being put on a slight diet (especially as a travel device), but it's not bad enough for me to ding the device over.
*The screen is stunning (I have the brightness set pretty low, which I prefer)
*Power button configuration and location are awful. This has caught me by surprise a number of times already - I'll be reading and the Fire will prompt me with, "Shut down?" No, why would I want to do that - can't you see I'm reading here? Oh, right, I have the Fire resting on my lap and it the push-button switch got actuated. My 3G has a slider-type switch which is much harder to accidentally actuate. It's a bummer that the Fire doesn't have this.
*Android OS in general (not just on this device) is just sort of choppy and unpolished. General lagginess and frame-dropping detract from the overall experience. Luckily, this is mostly a non-issue when reading books, which is all I really want to use this device for.
*Why doesn't the Kindle app on this device have an alphabet legend on the side so I can quickly scroll from "About a Boy" to "The Sound and the Fury?" The Kindle app for iOS has this...which brings me to...
*There will be no other Kindle Fire vs iPad points here. To me, the two devices are completely different once you look past the fact that they are multitouch tablets, have apps, etc. The Kindle Fire (for me, at least) is first and foremost a reading device. It excels at this, just like the other Kindles. The iPad was designed to rule the post-PC world and to free people from their laptops. The Kindle app for iOS is very good. Hardware-wise, the iPad is also very good. I struggle with finding a place for the iPad in my life, though. Without the requisite productivity apps that most have come to depend on in their lives (namely, the Microsoft Office suite), I don't find it a suitable replacement to my laptop and when at home, I'd rather watch Netflix or movies on my TV or listen to tunes on my stereo (so it doesn't fill the multimedia niche for me, either). As someone who spends very little time on Facebook and Twitter, I really only use my iPad for FaceTime and email reading. Sad but true.
*Oh, one thing I forgot to mention - my "refurbished" unit is visually (and I would assume functionally) indistinguishable from factory new. Came in the factory box and came completely scratch and blemish free. If it even had the slightest hairline scratch anywhere, I would've noticed because I'm batshit crazy about things like that.

Riding on the Amazon River. This photo was published in a catalog for Texas A&M University-Kingsville. Advertising 'Biology of the Amazon.'
My Amazon page as of 2:00 p.m. (MTN) on Sunday January 31, 2010. Note that the book is STILL available. Evidently it takes a lot longer to cancel a single CreateSpace (Amazon) published book than the entire MacMillian catalog.

I'm off on the second leg of my photo tour with my client Marty. Marty and I shot a sunrise at Vista House and the major waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. Marty has never been to the gorge and was blown away by it. He is shooting stereo views and so has a rig set up with two cameras. Quite the deal.
We'll be shooting Mount Hood today, starting with a sunrise at Trillium.
Have a great day and I will hope to get back to checking out your my contacts photos soon.
Most of the nutrients in the Amazon are trapped in its biomass — so there's no need to invest in deep roots.
