It's the 4th one I buy.
||Posted .This tablet has been so good that I bought 4 so far.All my nephews and nieces have one and they are loving it.

Excellent for Amazon product users and shoppers.
||Posted .Cons: Isn't compatible with some of my Google apps that I use daily. Does not operate the latest Facebook updates. Camera image quality is poor. Pros: Smooth interface, user friendly. Good battery life. Supports kids' separate profiles so that it may be shared by family members. Easily syncs with other devices.

Great to use and handy
||Posted .Here are my pros and cons thus far. PRO: Perfect size for Ebooks, and web surfing to alleviate strain on the eyes from my 5" phone display nice sturdy casing that gives it a nice heft but still weighs in as one of the lighter tablets on the market Child Accounts- Amazon allows you to set up this tablet with age restricted access for kids making this a low cost piece of tech that is perfect for school kids and allows mom and dad to ration the amount of time lil Johnny can play Clash of Clans and how much he can hit the ol' Visa card for. Battery life thus far; wife was on it for about 5 hours last night and battery was at about 46% Kindle Integration -this goes without saying but having my ebooks and audible books synced to the tablet is awesome and my Kindle books look great

Good for reading books. Ok for a lot of activity
||Posted .The Kindle will NEVER take the place of an iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab but they cost very little. Perfect for kids and adults alike. Especially good for those who don't want to spend six weeks learning to use it. It's very simple to set up right out of the box. It works great with the Prime membership. If you want to watch movies or Hulu/Netflix, the iPad is superior for quality of picture. Again, you pay a hefty price for this quality. If you just want something simple and hard to break (think young kids or teens) this is definitely the best option.

Love the response time
||Posted .I was worried that it would have lag, but it didn't. I got this to replace my Kindle paperwhite (Which I still LOVE), because I wanted to be able to listen to the audio on the books as well. IT's a great little tablet that does so much of what I wanted it to do. The stand by time and play time are better than I thought they would be as well. I LOVE the blue light filter, although that takes time to get used to it if your not already accustomed to that sort of thing. The only other thing I really don't care for is the fact you can not easily add Google play store.

Excellent tablet/reader for travel
||Posted .I bought the 16 gig Fire 7 tablet and added the 64 gig sim card before I went on a trip to Iceland. My plan was to use it to read kindle books I had in my library, but also to use it to read email on the 7 day trip. Since it was a wifi only device, I was dependent on the hotels I stayed in to have wifi. No problem there, they all had free wifi. (This was great since I had tried to use my old kindle to access the internet and it never really worked, and no email was happening.) There were three bonuses: Internet access, games (solitare, sodoko, etc.) and movies on the plane, and when it was too rainy to get out my SLR to take pictures, I could use my camera on the Fire 7 and easily wipe the rain off of the screen. The fire was small enough that it was easy to put in my carry on and I didn't have to take it out for TSA screening. All in all, it was perfect for the trip, oh yes, I had subscribed to the Washington Post before I left and that meant I could keep up with the political news and hurricane Matthew circling back across the atlantic to hit Iceland and bite us. Only bad thing, not fire7's fault, was that because of matthew's rain, we didn't see any northern lights. Good thing I had my own personal entertainment system--Fire 7 tablet.

Perfect for my uses and can't beat the price
||Posted .I wanted a tablet mainly to keep by my chair so I could look up stuff, such as information about movies I watch on TV, or answers to the New York Times crossword puzzle, or anything else I was curious about. I didn't want to spend much money, but was still dubious whether such an inexpensive tablet could be any good. I decided that for a measly fifty bucks (plus $20 for extra storage), it was worth a shot. I found that it's perfect for my purposes - relatively fast and easy to use. I haven't used it for downloading or the like, but my guess is it'll be OK there, too. I'm happy I bought it.

Good Reader
||Posted .I read a huge number of books in Kindle format. This Kindle Fire is perfect for that. It's just the right balance between screen size and easy carrying. It also is great for Audible users (you will want to install a micro SD card, though). You can also use it to watch Netflix and the like, although I don't. As a tablet, it leaves a lot to be desired. If you are looking for a tablet, give this a pass. It has a lot of system lag, and Wifi reception is terrible even in areas where other devices show a strong signal! Also, you should know that you can't access any apps on the Google Play store; it's locked into Amazon. None of that bothers me because like I said, I only use it to read/listen to Kindle books, and this device works perfectly for that. Bottom line: if you just want a Kindle reading platform with some extra functionality, this will work well for you. If you're looking for the full Android tablet experience, look elsewhere.

Q: QuestionIs there a monthly fee to allow you access to google etc. If you have wifi access
Asked by Sox.
- A:Answer No, the Google Play Store and all its services are free. You can download it for free thru an app call ES File Explorer. Download it first thru the Amazon Store, then use it to get the entire Google play store and all else for free. It's way better than the very limited Amazon App Store. Go to YouTube and look up Gadgetsxray videos, and he gives step by step as to how to do this. I've done it for about 11 of these tablets and all are fine, better actually, and it's a breeze to do. If you have wifi in your home or go places where free wifi is, it costs nothing to be on Google.
