Customers are delighted by the Fire 7 tablet's ease of use, size, and price. Many appreciate its lightweight design and the option to expand storage. While some users noted that battery life and performance could be improved, and the camera quality is not a strong point, the overall experience is positive for most. The inclusion of Alexa is also a frequently cited plus.

First off, it's not a secret that this tablet's Operating System is, at it's core, Android. That being the case, I hate Amazon's dark, bland, customized, user interface, I hate the intrusive, obnoxious and often confusing lockscreen ads and I hate the boxed-in feeling of the decidedly iOS-like experience that I'm left with. Beyond that, the thing is built like a tank, it feels good in the hands and it just WORKS well. While I vehemently disagree with them about what you end up with as a software experience, Amazon knows what they're doing. It works and it pushes their corporate agenda. If you're not interested in plugging into the Amazon ecosystem and you don't want to bother with a few minutes of nerve jungling but simple software hackery to overcome that... a little..., then this device is NOT for you but, you'll be missing out on a VERY good performer for the price because, honestly, it's great little device! My three year old absolutely LOVES it and, for the price, even the Android purist in me can tolerate it with a straight face and a small degree of satisfaction.

Got one during the thanksgiving deals!! If you are looking for a tablet to browse, read books or do simple amazon shopping this is a good tablet for the price. Amazon store does't have all the apps like andriod or ios but certainly has enough to keep you going. Only reason for a missing start, I feel the tablets performance is slow, see lag swiping between pages and the camera is just for the sake of having one, not even a decent quality... otherwise good tablet for the price.

I originally bought the 8gb Fire 7- 7' for $30 but had to upgrade to the 16gb for like $60. It's a little smaller than what I thought it would be BUT still functional. I think an inch or 2 more it would be the size of some of the larger smartphones. Pros: Lightweight, small (great for purse, small briefcase storage), color selections. Cons: Could be too small for some people (origninally for my young nieces, great idea BUT given it to my parents maybe too small for them). Also, I was bummed that the Fire 8 was cheaper than the Fire 7 and I had already bought accesories for the Fire 7. OVERALL: No a bad purchase... My parents like their Tablets.
