Amazon - Kindle Fire HD 7 (Previous Generation) - 16GB - Black

This is the second Kindle Fire I bought for my husband. The charging port quit working on the first after a little over a year. This one is still working through 18 months. He is an avid reader and loves his Kindle Fire. He takes it everywhere and uses it every day. It's not only great for books, but he can check Facebook or get on the Internet. Internet acces is not as smooth as my iPad, but for his limited usage it works just fine. I bought one for my daughter a couple of years ago and then bought her a mini iPad last Christmas and with FaceTime and iMessaging she rarely uses her Kindle Fire anymore. So I guess it depends on what you're planning on using it for.

I love the Kindle! I recommend it for anyone looking for an e-reader. It is wonderful for reading books, comics, magazines and you get the extra perks of being able to get online through wifi connections to play with your games and to use avaliable apps. Amazon has a great selection of apps. Plus you get your email and you can search the web. I love the camera option on the newer kindles, the current model I have only has the front facing camera, but I believe the newer versions have both front and rear facing. The price IMO is unbeatable for the quality.

This product is just what I was in the market for. I need to be able to access email and the Internet (and occupy kids with games and videos sometimes) while on-the-go, and then transfer easily to my home computer. The 16GB is enough to hold what I may do while away from home, and still leave room for photos. One major disappointment that I experienced was that while in the hospital I was unable to stream a live class and participate in it, and therefore lost the participation points. I was still able to access my school's website for other work, however. I have five household Kindles now; I guess you could call us very loyal and long-term users (we have one of the first editions to access the Web).

My wife and l bought three of these for our kids for Christmas and the kindles were definitely their favorite gifts. We have been able to get them to read even more than normal as they are happy to do it if they can earn some game time on them. Our kids are 6,6,and 9 and all three have found the kindles to be very easy to use and they love the ability to download new books and games. Overall this is a great product and I would highly recommend the kindle to any parents looking for a new excuse to get their kids to read more and just have some fun!!!

This Previous Generation HD Kindle works great compared to other tablets at this price, fast and never freezes up or shuts down , apps down load fast, has a good camera on it for skype, Good quailty picture, can check e-mails instantly, games are clear with no hesition.Good sound for Music. Amazon has lots of free apps for this too.

My kids love it for reading and gaming and its less expensive than an iPad.

Bought as Black Friday deal and it is worth every penny. I've read al least three novels since then and use it daily for multiple purposes.

Great for watching Netflix and reading books on amazon. Some limited options for it though. Good for the price.
