The Kindle Fire: AKA: The Freedom From DRM!
So this tablet has 16 GBs but is expandable to 128GBs! You can use this Android device with PCs and Mac and is not bound to ONLY Amazon stores. You can get books from pretty much ANYWHERE which that spec alone puts the Kindle Fire *HIGH* on the hill above its peers. Sure others look sleeker but none of them can work like an external hard drive like this can. You even get extra FREE storage bu activating Amazons Cloud service thus expanding the "memory" even more! You can "virtually" pull from your online libraries, email yourself content, trade out content etc. like a thumb drive or an iPod. These specs alone paired with its price point put this device at my top choice. It may not look sleek like an iPad, but then that thing cannot get nearly as much eReading content either due to horrible DRM! (For those who don't know what that stands for: Digital rights management (DRM) schemes are various access control technologies that are used to restrict usage of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works. )Tablets are going the way of the DoDo, so snatch one of these up and max out it memory with an Micro SSD. Its cheap enough to replace, there are accessories for it everywhere, it's small enough to be toted anywhere, you have the freedom to chose downloadable content unlike the Nook, iPad, or other devices, it's lightweight, has a low profile, great screen, it's very easy to use & sync! For a mid-range tablet with the most features and unrestricted DRM access, this is a great choice for many people. Personally I recommend a program like Calibre to use in conjunction with the Kindle Fire to find books, magazines, newspapers, comics, etc. (Paid store options *AND* free) that can do many unique arrangements for your eReader tablet. I highly recommend this combo!

Great Value Tablet
Originally I owned a Fire HD 7" from the previous generation. It was on the slow side and wasn't what I expected it. I upgraded to the 2015 Fire HD 8" and it blows away the previous generation. It has a larger display, faster response time, newer operating system, dual speakers, and also has an expandable microSD storage slot. I also noticed that it's much thinner and easier to hold than the previous generation. Compared to other tablets on the market, this one is a great value for the lower price tag.
