Well, then I'm mistaken, and only all the other Kindles are made at Foxconn. I had read a piece saying that the Kindles were made at Foxconn, and made the incorrect assumption that this included the Fire.

You are ignorant too. Sheech if you think Jeff Bezos went out of his way to find a kinder, gentler manufacturer you are dreaming. Bezos is totally bottom line. He's also a member of the kind and gentle Bilderberg Group.
