Poor quality and display for price. Would not recommend . Died in 1 year.

Geek squad took my new kindle and transfeR ed t FROM OLDd now it doesn't work at ALL poor service 2DAY

Screens tend to go out after 6 months. Cheap so affordable to buy new one.

really thought the larger size would be helpful for reading but not so

This is a good tablet if you just want something to watch movies on. I did not want to spend a lot and chose this as the price was too good to beat. I installed Google Play onto the device as I feel the Amazon Store was very limiting. The screen on this is REALLY good. The color and contrast is very surprising for a device at this price point. It is not a fast tablet by any means but for very basic usage it is perfect.

Slow delivery. Promised delivery date not met. Tracking still shows in transit

This tablet was horrible. It did not last long at all.

This device has a great monitor, memory, and price. Great value, right? Wrong! I bought this mostly to be an extension of my Android phone for around the house and to use for a specific guitar sheet music app called iReal Pro. I bought one of these a year ago for my 87 year-old Mom, so she could surf the Internet, with help. So, based on the same logic, I bought one for myself. I spent about 4 hours trying to get familiar with the Fire. Even though it is android based, it felt so different than my phone. I wanted to use Chrome, but can not load Google Play. To use Android apps not available on the Amazon App Store, you have to find a 3rd party App in the APK format (Android package kit). This is a huge pain. You have to download them to your PC, plug in the Fire, transfer, then install. There was no APK for iReal Pro. I decided to wipe the Fire clean with a factory reset and return it. Best Buy was great about it! I bought the Samsung Tab A 10.1 for $70 more than the Fire. In 10 minutes, I had it all synced to my phone and it was just like my phone, but bigger. Then I downloaded iReal Pro from Google Play Store, and all is good. Lesson learned: Amazon has fone too far in trying to adopt their own system that is not compatible with the well-established infrastructure of the Android phone standard. The Fire was a waste of time and would never have been 1/10 as good as the Tab A, which I love.

I don’t really know where to start, as a tablet it’s good, nice big screen looks clear for certain things but it’s really only good if you’re just SUPER into Amazon for whatever reason. I bought it because I was looking to upgrade and the big and reputable-ish name of the company and general years they’ve been making them, made them seem to be pretty good or they’d gone off the market. But sadly after a year of use the tablet is just a big Amazon pain in the butt. Everything is Amazon, you have to almost disable Amazon defaults completely just to have them stop bugging you. They say it runs on Android and it does but not really and it has almost no apps. Basically Facebook, Reddit, Pandora, IMDB. That’s it. Games are garbage to look at and popular ones aren’t in the Amazon App Store and the games that are, are B-grade ripoffs of popular ones. Now what I found out after buying the device, even after my own diligent research of products, like I do before buying anything. I didn’t know Amazon and Google are in a sorta legal battle/ war with each other, so you can’t get ANY Google apps. You don’t realize how many Google owns till you can’t get them and yes their are work arounds but I don’t want to have to work around, I’d just like to buy and use like I’m sure many of you would too. The price is good but software is garbage. In a few years I’ll go back to a real Android tablet.
