  Edited review - from good to horrible

  Leaving my original review below. Originally liked this a lot, but within 24 hours realized (1) it was extremely slow and glitchy, (2) the screensaver ads and the $15 bribe to remove them is garbage - especially considering that this device is only worthwhile if you get if for really cheap, (3) the browser it comes with is horrible and it doesn't allow you to download Google chrome, (4) the battery life is ridiculous, and it seems to struggle to charge with any cords other than the one it came with. I used it a few times as a screen for Jackbox games - for anyone who doesn't know what that means it's only responsibility was staying on while we use our cell phones to play a game. It couldn't even do that. When I submitted my return request, Amazon offered me $11 to keep it. I considered it, but it got on my nerves so much I decided to send it back anyway. I got another Android device that was about $70 and am sad that I sent that one back before knowing how poorly this one functions. _________________________________________________ Incredible device. After discovering Amazon Luna, I wanted a device that I could game on & didn’t want it to be the ones I use for work so I bought a couple tablets to test out. This one was the winner and by a landslide. I was hesitant because all the reviews said the tablet was good for “light gaming” and I intended to play more graphically detailed games like Skyrim and Fallout. Let me tell you that the performance of those games on this tablet exceeded that of my MacBook, HP laptop, annd any Android tablet I tried. So impressive. Teeny complaint or really an FYI for people considering this for hardcore gaming (which is likely no one lol) - if you want to buy a controller that attaches to the device, it gets a little wonky bc the volume buttons are located where the external controller attaches. I made it work, and it’s 10x lighter and easier to use than a steam deck, but just be mindful of that when you look for a controller. I also bought the Luna controller and hated its guts lol but that’s also an option. Read moreVer másVer menos

  Very nice Kindle model

  When my old Kindle quit taking a charge (and it was having other issues...), my husband treated me to this one. It's fast, charges quickly, doesn't drain the battery fast, runs everything I've asked of it, has a crisp display and decent audio. Read more

  Durable, lasting, must have for daily use.

  I tried other tablets but still keep coming back to Kindle. This is the most durable low budget tablet on the market. It's great for playing YouTube, music playlist or listening to Audibles. I have little kids, this thing had gone into my pool, toilet, thrown down from 2nd floor (course, all the screen glass looked shattered) & it would still bounce back to work. No other devices I had was able to endure the same kind of abuse from my autistic child even with the protective case on. But it is low budgeted so sound quality & graphics is just enough to get your daily fill of Internet browsing. You can't play intense games or super fine graphic movies & expect it to amaze you. It doesn't have the huge app library as Google play, so I do the other stuff on another more expensive tablet, cellphone & our computer while my family has 6 kindles in the house. This is the device that all my family are on the most. I wish it had the screen dimmer that dim all the way to black. I like to listen to movies or stories playing to make me fall asleep, it can help save some battery. Read moreVer másVer menos

  Great tablet, great value (but a few features aren't working on this newer one)

  I've used a Fire tablet for years and would not be without one. For the price they can't be beaten imo. I thought my previous one had died so I immediately ordered its replacement and upgraded to the 64 gb memory. I also always add a memory card so I can download and keep movies, etc. with no worries. I keep all my Kindle books, over a thousand, downloaded on it of course, and much of the amazon music that I own. Also useful for watching Prime, Youtube, or other streaming videos. I also check my email, my Ring cameras, use Alexa (but see update below) including controlling my Wyze devices, and have several streaming and simple game apps on it. It's a very versatile, durable little tablet for basic daily use. It does everything I need in a tablet, when the features are working correctly. I use my laptop for things requiring much keyboarding and for browsing the internet, but this tablet does that too. My older one came back to life after this one arrived but I decided to just keep both. This one is a newer generation, but I'm not a techie and can't tell much difference in the two. (BUT SEE UPDATE BELOW.) I highly recommend the Fire tablets. At certain times of the year they are ridiculously inexpensive and are still a great value at regular price. UPDATE: I am having a problem using Alexa on this new tablet, a problem that my older one does not have. Although the settings are correct on both of them, for some unknown reason Alexa responds on this one with a keyboard for me to TYPE what I want her to do. I don't want that! There is a microphone icon to tell it what to type, but I want Alexa to voice-respond (with the blue line at the bottom), as it does on my older Fire tablets and on my Echo that has a screen. I have repeatedly checked the settings and restarted the tablet but it will not voice-respond for Alexa. Also, it recognizes that I have an SD card installed but it nevertheless saves almost everything to its internal memory, although I have those settings correct, too. It's already used half its internal memory and very little of the SD card. Therefore I'm reluctantly deducting a star. (These are still awesome tablets for the price. My older one just works better for accessing Alexa.) Read moreVer más

  Pretty good tablet

  I bought this as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago for someone who needed something for light use. Mostly just for watching YouTube and maybe some TV and movie apps. It works fine and he's still got it and still uses it. I don't think it's something I would use myself; I tend to get more powerful tablets since I use them a lot more and for various things, including work, but for a decent price table for basic internet and media, it's fine.
