Comparison between Kindle Fire, iPad 2 ,Kobo Vox and Nook Color 2

Amazon's first Android tablet---Kindle Fire was launched last November at a price of $199. It broke the market with a 4 million sales last December. But the market changes every moment, news said that Kindle Fire at most sold 1.3 million in the 2012 Q1, which is a huge drop from 3 months ago.
