    Worked perfectly when first bought. Then charging port went silly. I had to insert the charging cable a certain way or else it won’t charge. This problem started after warranty had expired

    After less than a year of infrequent use, it was getting harder and harder to charge. Very few chargers (even new ones) would get it to charge.

    We purchased the Fire for our 9 year old. The price is right for an entry level device and I don't worry too much about it breaking. The charging port has already started to fail, however.

    I used to own a Kindle PaperWhite. This does so much more. I am still trying to master all the features. Amazon technical support, coming at you live from Asia, is woefully inadequate.

    I got this for my boyfriend for a Christmas gift. He liked it but doesn't use the internet much & has a smart phone so I returned. It's good for someone looking for something basic

    this is a solid device for the money, but the downside is that you have to deal with amazon's closed eco system of apps. if all you enjoy is amazon content then its 5 stars

    Resolution was great, speed was good. Bought for grandson, he didn't like it because it would not run Google apps and couldn't watch u-tube without purchasing additional apps.

    Cant beat it for the price. But the internal memory is an issue. Certain things cant me moved to the memory card so it regularly fills up and needs things deleted.

    A decent tablet. No google store. And at this price point, it included ads on the home screen. You can pay to have them removed permanently, but i was unaware of that.

    Too many Amazon advertisement that you can’t get rid of on this tablet. Took my 6 year old a long time to adjust to it as she was familiar with using my Apple Ipad.

    Maybe it’s just me being dumb about this ... but I can’t seem to find use in this thing. I have gotten used to iPads and maybe that’s why. But I find it hard to navigate and discover all the functions and to set up this thing ... it just doesn’t seem as multitasking as I thought it would be ... I might have gone into this with the wrong expectations ... I have tried using this for about 3 days after the purchase and it’s just been collecting dust ...
