Loved this Kindle but Hubby wanted to trade it for an IPad mini to go with our other Apple products! :-(

I was on the fence between the Kindle and an iPad, but three things led to a choice that worked out great. First, the quality of the screen, build and processor are so good that there's no feeling of "settling" because I didn't go with Apple. Netflix video looks great, and the performance is sharp. Second, the Mayday feature gave my parents the reassurance that they wouldn't get stuck 5 minutes after I left. This is such a simple but powerful idea for people who might otherwise shelve their tablet with the first tech issue. Finally, the kindle platform has come a long way, making it an intuitive flavor of android for first time users to pock up. Setting email up was a breeze, and Skype out of the box was a pleasure. I had an original kindle that got old fast, but this generation has real daily-use utility. A great machine at the standard retail price, its an unbeatable value when it goes on sale. Last word - my in-laws got an iPad at the holidays, and I've spent a decent amount of time helping them with synch setups, icloud sharing, and why non-ios users don't have FaceTime. Its a great device, but ironically proving to have a steeper learning curve than the kindle HDX.

First, I really love the tablet. This kindle is the third kindle in my household. I currently own a e-reader kindle 3G wi-fi and a kindle fire HD. This one is for my husband. The display is crystal clear on a 7in screen, it really shines, the resolution and clarity are amazing. The speakers are full Dolby HD that have great bass and a nice clear sound. These speakers are better than most laptop speakers. They go loud enough to fill a room and do not lose any of the sound quality, the speakers are simply amazing, and the performance is outstanding for the price. is the best kindle to date. The performance is second to none, the display is great, the speakers are some of the best I've ever heard on a tablet, and the mayday feature is awesome! I think the price is right on the mark for what you get. It's a great value tablet and a great performing tablet all in one. One note of caution: The charging port is on an angle and if you're not careful, I could see this being an issue down the line. If you try to lay the HDX screen side down, you will bend and put stress on the charging cable.
