Amazon - Kindle Fire HDX - 7" - 16GB - Black

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

This replaced my old Kindle that required a separate light source. I loved that Kindle but I needed something with a little more capability for work and school. The HDX is a great reader, internet search and SOME apps. In many instances, it can replace my iPAD for basic things. It has some limitations. There is not nearly as many apps or software functions as iPAD. This version does NOT have free Internet as did my previous version. Not a big deal, but it was a nice feature. Also, it includes a camera, but the lens is pointed at the user rather than away from them, so if you take a picture, you take it of yourself. If you turn the Kindle around, you can't see what you are taking a picture of....not well thought out. Quick to learn how to use and I like the enhanced capabilities for the reader such as being able to download notes. Great price, great product, but will NOT replace your iPAD.

Debated between this and Ipad mini and chose the Kindle Fire HDX because of the price. I am NOT disappointed. This thing is FAST and has GREAT screen resolution. The battery is long lasting. It is super light and thin. It can do so many things and it if you are just starting out with a tablet like I was, it is very intuitive. There are a zillion apps to choose from. Sure, there are a few from Google that are not on here, but there are so many more to choose from that it is probably possible to find a similar one. You won't be lacking or disappointed. Love it. Would recommend getting it to anyone.

My wife's iPad 2 stopped working and I wanted to get her a replacement. iPads were out of our comfort range in terms of price, and her iPad 2 was a bit heavy for her casual browsing and use. We looked at the iPad mini, but it was still a bit pricey. The Kindle Fire HDX 7 was well under $250 and it seemed to be a perfect fit. I'm glad we decided to take the plunge. My wife loves the size and weight of the Kindle, and it is perfect for her usual leisurely activities (Pinterest, web surfing, ebooks, etc.). It is small enough to slip in any purse and light enough to hold with one hand without fatigue. Despite the smaller screen, she far prefers the form factor of the Kindle to her iPad 2. The hardware is quite powerful. Even driving a 1920x1200 screen, the Kindle Fire HDX 7 packs enough punch to run most high-end games fluidly. Furthermore, the screen is very vibrant. The high resolution makes text and images appear crisp and colors are excellent. There are two main drawbacks. First, the Kindle line does not run standard Android, nor does it provide access to the standard Google Play store. This means you will be using Amazon's modified operating system, and many apps do not make their way over to Amazon's store (not a big deal in my wife's case). Second, The HDX line often has a thin "blue" tint at the very edge of the screen. This "flaw" is well documented online. Amazon claims this is a side effect of their backlight technology, which supposedly offers superior color reproduction. It probably won't bother most users, but perfectionists will find this distracting on white backgrounds. I noticed it almost immediately, but I don't know that my wife has even seen it. Overall , the Kindle Fire HDX 7 is an excellent tablet at a great price, provided you don't mind being limited to the Amazon ecosystem and the "blue border" doesn't bother you.

I purchased this item as a gift for my wife during the Christmas holiday. She loves it. Other tablets were too expensive and a bit too heavy. The Kindle HDX (7") is easy to hold / carry for long trips or just watching at home. The display is amazing and the sound just as impressive. The size and features available make using the Kindle more convenient than using my laptop. My wife is still figuring out all the neat things the Kindle HDX has to offer, and if we need help there is someone available night or day to assist us. We both are familiar with Android phones and the Kindle is based off of the Android system. We both found it easy to set up and operate. So far very happy with this product.

This tablet has a great picture quality. It's also fast and easy to use. Battery length is good I do not like the constant ads when using a purchased app and when turning it on... also freetime is a great feature for kids

Let me start off by saying. I've done a good deal of research before deciding which Tablet was for me. I've done the homework and done everything in my power to make sure that I got the very best tablet I could get for my money. That tablet for me was the Kindle Fire HDX (The 7 inch version). To make a long story short, The Kindle Fire HDX does every single thing that I'd ever want my tablet to do, and more. It does everything its competitors can do, At about half the price. And that's what makes this tablet so awesome. When you look at all the features it possesses you instantly assume that a machine with all of this MUST be at least Half A grand. But it's not. In fact I paid 199.99 for mine Brand New. For basically 200 dollars I got a tablet that will play Every video, Every song, Hold all my Ebooks and E-Mags, and Run all the apps that I'd ever want to. Its is also incredibly thin and light for a Tablet with so many features. Its got an amazingly beautiful Full HD Screen that looks FANTASTIC. The sound quality is also unbelievable. It's truly mind blowing how such good sound quality can be produced from such small speakers. But just like everything else that the Kindle Fire HDX does..It pulls it off..Perfectly. I highly recommend this tablet for just about every consumer out there today who are currently looking to find which tablet is best for them. This is the perfect option for people looking for a Good, Reliable, and Capable tablet without having to spend an Arm and a Leg to afford it...Bottom Line...Are there faster and more powerful Tablets available?? Yes. But unless you plan on taking out a 2nd mortgage to afford your new tablet. The Kindle Fire HDX offers the best mixture of Speed, Power, and Affordability that can be found on the market today.

This is my second Kindle. So many improvments over the original Kindle! The screen image is beautiful! There are still some things that need improvement. Not all apps will work and the browser will not play all media types (not an uncommon problem on mobile devices). I am very happy with my Kindle.
