Improved scrolling experience
The scrolling experience of Kindle Fire is very poor. But the Nook Tablet do much better. Amazon announced they would fix this bug by software update. Users who got the new Kindle Fire 6.2.1 update also confirm the improvement. But I don’t if the problem is complete fixed.
Custom default wallpaper
Users are allowed to custom their main interface like Apple CoverFlow. You can remove e-books, apps and musics on the default screen. It should be a good experience as I don’t want to show too much items on the screen. THHGZNHE5TR6
