Amazon - Fire HD - 6" - 8GB - Black

Well, I love Kindle Fire. I bought its first generation years ago. It is different from ipad. Honestly I love both. You know kindle fire has collaboration with amazon, which is a good deal. Kindle fire is smaller than ipad, which is convenient to bring somewhere else. And it is cheap for family kids.

This is a great little tablet for the price and fits my mom's needs exactly She's 72 and not afraid of technology but doesn't have a smart phone so the touch screen is brand new to her. So far it's been easy for her to use and she's excited about it. I chose it for her because she wanted an e-reader for trips but also would enjoy a few aps and games, especially skype. The only gripes so far are that the ads on the lock screen won't go away even though we turned them "off" and finding that setting took a while in the first place. I'm hoping there's another fix for that - and it's a minor annoyance. Lastly it's a bit heavy in her hand but again great for the price.

My latest Kindle is a delightful addition to my collection. I have 3 different e-ink kindles, and a 7" Kindle Fire HD. I've also purchased 2 Kindle HDX's for my daughters and they love them. Why purchase another one? Well technology continues to evolve and besides, I was able to turn in my 1st edition Nook Color and receive a $50 credit from Best Buy towards my 6" Kindle Fire. I still have a Nook e Ink reader, and my Nook Color hadn't been used in more than 2 years. Maybe I'm a little obsessive, but I never want to be without a book, e reader, or tablet wherever I go. I'm constantly reading, and with 200 books on my Nook and more than 7300 on Kindle, I'm never without a good read. Anyway, my 6" Fire HD is perfect because I can use it as a back up, take it to work, and access everything I need on it - including watching Amazon Prime movies and television. I still use my 7" Kindle Fire more than anything else, but the 6" Fire can actually do a little more. You know, all that evolving technology and everything. I love my new Fire and I would recommend it to all of my friends and family.

We wanted to provide our "pre-teen" with a device that could be used at home and on the road as we traveled. The device works well (as there are many apps to choose from - and growing) and allows our "pre-teen" to connect with us via text messages. The only down side is that he couldn't connect with Pinger/TextFree on an Amazon product (as this is only compatible with Android & Apple products). He was able to sign up with Text Me and we are connected all of the time.

About the size of a skinny paperback and about as heavy as a thick paperback, this is a good reader and has decent movie playback. It runs Amazon Android which has some proprietary functions but nowhere near as bad as Apple devices. Processing is quick so programs run fast and smooth. I got it for my wife. She loves it. She wishes there were a way to increase the font size when running on the elliptical but said it was fine when reading on the treadmill. A lot of books to load in the first month of the free trial of Amazon Prime as well as Amazon instant movies with the purchase of the device. A nice incentive to buy it whenever you can buy it on sale. I got a great deal from Best Buy when they were giving $50 for any trade-in.

This is my "To Go" tablet since it is easy to carry in a pocket. I have a larger tab for home use. This one is solidly built and is very fast. Good value for the price. NO gps, but you really can't expect one for the price.

this unit is compact and light weight . It has sharp graphics and comprehensive built-in apps . Prime movies and TV shows can be downloaded and stored for later viewing - great for travelling. downloads take only a few minutes . With prime there is also access to an extensive music library . Very satisfied . Of course this can also be used as a reader .

Why buy the $80 Kindle when you can pick this up for $20 more. If your Prime member you'll get one free ebook a month, access to Prime music also Prime movies. Battery is decent, small enough to fit in a purse or back pocket. Amazon claims that this can take a small fall. It's a bit heavy for it's size but a responsible weight.
