    Alexa is a nice addition, but since I only use my Kindle for reading books, not internet searches, watching movies, etc., so an operating system full of unnecessary stuff slows the device down to a ridiculous speed. I do like the blue night light feature. I might recommend this to a friend, but maybe not.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Because of the corona virus lockdown I had no other choice to take out e-books at the library. After doing some research I purchased the Fire HD. It is perfect for downloading ebooks from your library and it is a very handy tablet as well. It was a great price and a great e- reader as well. Of course, I was introduced to Alexa, and she is now one of my best friends!

    Amazing tablet for the price! The tablet was a gift, I have now purchased various version of this 4 times over 10 years! It's always reliable! We still use the oldest one today and works like first day, with software updates! Ordering was fast! Shipping was fast! Tablet came the day before the estimated day with no issues! Highly recommend the tablet and Best Buy!

    While I find these to be limited to some degree, they were bought for children and not adults. Very easy to get someone’s and make it yours so the security is a must! Sluggish and has times where it is glitchy but overall, worth the price I paid and would buy for the same reason again. One screen broke pretty easy in about 4 months and that sucks, not gorilla glass. OS needs a ton of work, but again it’s for children. If for seniors it would be fair too.
