Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked this up during Black Friday and managed to get it cheaper than MSRP. My girlfriend and I have it in the living room to pick up and use whenever another screen is occupied by something else. It's very useful, and since we weren't looking for anything with deep features, it was well worth the price.

Bought to replace my original kindle and have access to books already purchased. Have used it for so much more like games, browsing internet, and watching netflix. Does so much more than original at a better price.

I looked at several brands and read reviews of tablets before making my purchase and the Amazon Fire was by far the best. I purchased mine from Best Buy and they had a great price, less than $50!! I highly recommend this product, it has plenty of room for games, books or just to search the web. I love it!!

I got this tablet for my cousin and she loved it.. My kids already had one so i knew she love it.. they are great for kids all ages my youngest got hers when she was 4 and she is 7 now and its still going lol.. she has dropped it and everything they are great tablets I have nothing bad to say about them..

Great tablet for the money. Good way to see if you prefer a tablet or a laptop without spending a bunch of money to find out. Works good to stream movies or surf the web.

I bought this for my mom so she could play her games and do Facebook...she was having a hard time seeing them on her phone. She absolutely loves her tablet. She carries it everywhere. A great purchase. I would buy it again and again for her joy. Well worth the money. A big hooray to Amazon and Best Buy!

This is a great tablet for my 5 year old boy. It was inexpensive at $35 on black Friday. I particuly prefer it because, with my Amazon prime account, I can download videos to it. Amazon only let's Amazon products download videos. It was great when we traveled at Christmas. No more dvds and player needed!

this amazon fire table is a great bargain. its not a top of the line table and you can tell since the moment you see the price tag but for that price does a whole lot! day to day regular use or just for kids and people that dont really care about some extra features that flagship tablet bring its amazon!

I was giving the tablet as a gift for Christmas to a 3 year old. I initially purchased the "standard version" but returned it for the kid version which included a "Bumper box" as well as a 2 year warranty, which the standard version did not have. Thankfully, I asked the parent of the child if it was OK for me to set it up prior to giving it to the child. The set up took some time. I was thankful that I read the reviews because I bought an additional memory card since the product only has 8GB of storage. The child was able to open the gift and "play" immediately as a result of doing up-front work. One thing I noted that when the child played a movie through Netflix, the resolution was not very good. Could be an adjustment needed in the tablet, which has yet to be worked out. I would recommend this, but if giving as a gift for a child, I would recommend doing the up-front work so it is ready to go for the child when they receive it.

For the price, it's hard to beat. Don't go into this thinking it is like any other Android tab. In many ways it is, and the ability to sideload apps helps. But this is primarily a vehicle to get you into the Amazon ecosystem. Not necessarily bad, but those expecting full access to Google will be disappointed. What it is good for: Web surfing Newsreader Audio player Netflix, Hulu, etc What's not so great: No GPS, location enabled but not true GPS Screen Resolution, angles and clarity are good but given the price, it can be forgiven

I bought this for my 9 year old and it is perfect for reading books and playing games. My only disappointment is with kindle because if I put him as I child under my account he has access to my books, which I do not want to happen. I had to create an account just for him.

I like the tablet but the ads can be a little offensive from time to time. I wish you could block ads for magazines and game with immodestly dressed people especially on the lock screen. The device is very nice for what I paid for it once you get passed the lock screen.

I purchased these tablets for my grandchildren. They are young and do not need anything fancy. So, knowing these tablets are simple and easy to use for young children was the right one to purchase. They are very happy with the tablets and it is easy for them to understand and use. Excellent purchase.

Yes, it does what I need and does it pretty well. I like the extra storage capacity, because I use it to store photos, a portable portfolio. I like the size, smaller and easier to carry than a tablet device. It is my second one. I use both units, the older one just does not have the storage capacity.

I got this kindle as a replacement for my daughter's other kindle whose screen was cracked but still functional. She loves it and she loves the OS. She doesn't really miss that it's not HD. I didn't get an SD card yet but since she has most things in the cloud it isn't really necessary at this point.

We purchased this for me primarily as a reader. Great size in my hand. This is a first tablet for me as well. It does so much more than a simple reader. We got a second Fire for my fatherl for Christmas. It is his first tablet. He is excited to learn how to use it well.

I have the old Kindle that is similar to this but was alot more. For the price this is a steal. I will buy a couple more for gifts. The only real complaint is the speaker is a little weak so invest in headphones or a plug in speaker.

I was pleasantly surprised that I have enjoyed the Kindle Fire. This was my first ever use of buying books on Kindle due to summer courses I was taking at the time in May/June 2016. WHAT I LIKED - Kindle Books Synched on MacBook and Fire tablet: very helpful when it came time to write my papers. The highlights I made while I read the book on the tablet synched to the version I read on the MacBook desktop. This helped a ton, especially with things like formatting the footnotes. - Watching Videos: cool little feature while you watch a video you can tap the screen and it will list the actors who are currently one the screen. - Amazon Shopping: I can now understand people's Amazon shopping addictions.l I will give it to Amazon, this tablet became my gateway to using Prime and countless hours of online browsing. Prior to this I rarely purchase items online, I can see how they have made it so easy across platforms. - Portability: I like that I will bring this with me for my general online browsing and reading needs rather than having to use my laptop or my phone. WHAT I DID NOT LIKE - Sign-on Screen Ads:There is no way to turn them off. I suppose for $39/49 depending if you purchased on a sale, the advertisers are subsidizing the cost of the tablet. However, I wished this was stated as a "feature" before purchasing it, I may have paid the money and upgraded to the next Kindle if I had known it could not be turned off. - Turning Off/Standby Mode: This took some time to get used to rather than an issue. When you turn the tablet off, it is really on a standby mode so the batteries will drain. You have to hold the button a little longer and make sure it is turned OFF. - Weather App: I don't know if this is just my tablet, the weather app does not update as soon as you open it. It takes minutes if at all to update with the current weather. I have not been able to find in any forums if other people are experiencing the same issue. I have instead downloaded and used other weather apps. But at this point the app is worthless. - Screen Resolution: It's not the best, but I got used to it. For reading and occasional video viewing purposes it is sufficient. - Screen Dimmer/Blue Light Mode: I read and use the tablet at night, and have gotten sensitive to the brightness of the tablet screen. And the system's default dimmer and Blue Light feature is awful. The Blue light app allows you to set the color tone however, it is so orange it makes it unreadable. The app I use instead is called Bluelight Blocking. And even dimming the brightness with the slider was still too bright for me. So I have had to download the app Dimly so be able to set the brightness.

This tablet is fantastic for the price. It's as good or better than my first fire. The only differences are this one has only 8 gb's of storage but has front and rear cameras. It runs as fast as the other and the resolution is as good.

I had intended to purchase a laptop for checking my emails while on our vacations. Fortunately the Best Buy recommended this Amazon Fire Tablet instead and it has worked perfectly. Have not done much else with the tablet but it was very inexpensive for what I wanted it for.
