    I had gotten this primarily to watch movies and run some basic internet programs. I have been very pleased to date with the speed of the processor and picture quality.

    I bought this for my 8 year old. I was a great buy. The price was affordable compared to other tablets on the market and e 8" screen is perfect. Another great buy!!!

    For the price it is a great little tablet. My only complaint (due mostly to my lack of researching the product properly) is that you cannot read google play books. You are almost completely restricted to Kindle books. Other than this, I love it.

    I purchased the Kindle fire to replace my iPad that stopped working. It is so much easier to use and lighter than an iPad. I wish I had purchased one years ago.

    I use my Fire every day. I'm very satisfied with it's performance and size. The battery last a long time, so I can use the Kindle for hours without recharging.

    I've owned a Kindle Fire HD7 before and this newer Kindle fire didn't disappoint. It does the job really well for most things and the price you pay, but don't expect it to be a top of the line tablet.

    It was well worth the Black Friday price! The screen is so clear, it is easy to handle especially for people with not so big hands, easy and fast when navigating.

    It's a decent tablet for the price, especially if you have Amazon Prime. The ads are really annoying though and you have to pay to turn them off or pay extra for a tablet that comes without ads.

    I bought this for my wife to replace her 7" fire that was having a hard time holding a charge anymore. She is thrilled! It was easy for her to transfer all of her books and apps from her old fire to this. She mainly uses this for books , email and some games so this is the perfect tablet for her. better graphics and quicker with the 16gb storage

    This is so much better than the Kindle that I purchased 3 years ago. It is much faster, and I really like how long the battery last before needing to be charged.

    This was bought primarily for photos. I added the 128 card. Putting in the 128 card might have been a little tricky but the sales rep did it for me. My wildlife photos look brilliant on the tablet. I'd recommend making a Geek Squad appt for about an hour after you plan to buy the tablet. That way you learn how to use it before leaving the store. Also I got one that had been returned but all the parts still had the plastic wrap on them. That made it $100 less and hence the "great deal" in the title. It may pay to ask about a return. I plan to take some of the free classes offered.

    Recently upgraded from the 7inch kindle and i must say huge improvements. all i can say is that if they can speed up the processor by next year with more ram they might compete with the ipad!

    I use this mostly for reading, and it works well for that. The screen isn't too hard on the eyes and the battery has been good. Will be interesting to see how that holds up over time.
