Buy Kindle Fire from Amazon or Argos?

Hi
I'm going to buy a Kindle Fire, given up hope of the price coming back down to £99 but I can stretch to £129.
I was wondering if it's better to buy from Amazon or Argos?
I have a £10 voucher for Argos, but was wondering if the customer service etc will be better if it breaks if i buy it from Amazon? Are there any other advantages from buying direct from Amazon?
Thanks

    Guess depends if you have any other use for the voucher. Argos are not the best for returning items (at least when you deal with the store staff)

    Guess if your set on buying a piece of equipment which use there own version of software and tied to them, then best to go direct.

    Exactly, it's a device locked to Amazon. Any problems you have with it will be referred by Argos back to Amazon anyway.

    Unless you can get the Kindle Fire much cheaper at Argos I'd stick with buying it from Amazon direct as their returns service is usually very good if you have any issues with it.
