    The Kindle is great for what for what I use it for, which is browsing the internet, and watching tv and movies. However there is one downfall with the Kindle. It doesn't last long. This is my third Kindle Tablet in a year. After three or four months it becomes harder and harder to charge. Eventually you will have to wrap the cord around the device three or four times, out the tablet away for 24 hours and hope a fly does not land on it in order to get it to charge. But for me, for the price when this one quits, I will buy another one.

    Nice little tablet but Amazon has to stop putting ads and ask us, consumers, to pay $15 to remove them. I just feel like its not very fair.

    I had a previous Kindle Fire - 8 but the screen got cracked. I couldn't resist buying a brand new one when the Black Friday sales began.

    I have always liked Amazon products. This is a nice entry level tablet. My only problem is that it only has 16gb of storage which limits how many apps I can have stored on it.

    It's a great value. Especially useful for viewing content - nice screen quality, as you'd expect it works well w amazon content. Limited apps in the amazon universe.
