"Plagiarist!" It is an accusation that strikes fear in the hearts of students, academics, journalists, authors and presidential candidates alike. The fear is certainly that of being caught: punished by those in authority, professionally censured by one's peers, publicly humiliated. Often too, however, it is a fear of the unknown. From the day a third grade student, armed with cut-and-paste commands, is assigned a report on Thomas Jefferson and turns to Wikipedia, he confronts the same questions faced by the best-selling historian who dares consult secondary sources: how do I use this information without "overusing" it. How much use is too much? What needs to be attributed and what doesn't? Is substantially rewording or paraphrasing a passage sufficient to make it my own? What constitutes "substantially?"

"Kindle Fire is a premium product, offered at a non-premium price. It brings everything we've been working on at Amazon for 15 years - Kindle, Amazon Instant Video, Amazon MP3, Amazon Prime, Amazon Appstore, and Amazon Web Services - together into a single, fully-integrated experience for customers. We've also developed a new, faster web browser called Amazon Silk, specifically designed for Kindle Fire. It's a split browser that lives partially on Kindle Fire and partially in the cloud, taking full advantage of Amazon Web Services' incredible computational horsepower to accelerate web browsing - something you won't find in iPad's Safari browser.
