I like how they double checked the specs this time and made sure it said “1st gen” in the title. They learned from the last time they sold the 1st gen Fire.
I took the deal back then and I have been quite happy with mine with it running a Android 4.0 ROM (this comes with Android 2.3)
You can find this for around the same price or cheaper at a lot of places. I bought one a few weeks ago from another daily deal site for $89 and once I rooted it and put android on it is a pretty decent. Very easy to root too.

This is unbelievably easy to put CyanogenMod on. I hacked one for a friend. That said, it’s slow, heavy, and lacks bluetooth, a card expansion slot, hardware volume controls, and a host of other things that I’ll look for in a tablet if I ever get around to buying one. I personally wouldn’t buy one of these for half the price.
I have a one of these. Great overall, great screen, reliable. Can read for hours with no eye strain.
Included browser is pretty limited, but functional.
If you like to buy books off Amazon, or use Calibre, this works great.
But this price does NOT seem like much of a deal at all.
Kindle has been slow to support the visually impaired community while simultaneously throwing themselves at the public schools and that alone is enough to make me quite happy with my Nook. Well that and the fact that B&N just basically gave them away about a month ago.
