The Kindle HDX 8.9 has exceptional battery life for a multimedia tablet
Reading and watching and listening on the Fire HD is sublime. Once you're in
You're in. The improved screen and body really do make a difference

The screen in particular is wonderful
And holding the 7-inch tablet in portrait is actually
The Fire HD is very well put together. It's not rugged per se
But it definitely feels much more premium than you would expect. Significantly more sturdy than the Nexus 7
Fire OS has gotten hugely better in this latest iteration. Everything is smoother
Kindle Fire HD makes strides as tablet
With Bluetooth access
Better onscreen keyboard
And a better e-mail app
HD screen has a good level of detail and even illumination
Storage bump to 16GB gives more flexibility away from the cloud
If you have an A
Bright screen. Solid build. Amazon Prime streaming and FreeTime kids' content. Very easy to use.
Low price for features
Stunning-sounding speakers
Excellent Wi-Fi reception
Good battery life
Pleasing
Sharp display
Tight integration with Amazon services
The Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7 is faster than last year's model and starts at an affordable $140 (£120). Amazon's Sangria OS is user-friendly and new features make the tablet easily shareable for families
Gorgeous screen. Very easy to use. Amazon Prime members get lots of video and book content. Multi-user parental controls.
Crisp and bright display
Impressively loud speakers
Large selection of movies and music
High-quality Skype calls
Kid-friendly FreeTime mode
Double the storage of Nexus 7
Excellent display
Wonderful array of Amazon content

Wonderful array of
Gorgeous screen. Very easy to use. Amazon Prime members get lots of video and book content. Multiuser parental controls.
Beautiful 7-inch HD display
Excellent stereo sound
Vast library of content
Affordable
Cheap
Good screen
Great if you're already part of the Amazon ecosystem
Excellent Dolby sound
Great access to Amazon content
Clear HD screen
Great battery life
Terrific display
Ecosystem with Prime is outstanding
Faster performance all around
Sharp looking display
Peppy performance from its CPU
Where do you store all those books and videos? Amazon's cloud
Of course
Though the Fire HD ships with 16GB of storage
Which is more than you get on most tablets in this price range. (The Nexus 7 starts at 8GB for the same price.) You can double that st
Amazon's rear-facing camera has average image quality
The software still has a long way to go before it's on the same level as iOS or Android. The OS-level lag everyone saw in the hands-on demos after the announcement is not nearly as bad in a normal use environment. But there's still more lag launching larg
The UI lag can be pretty bad at times
But most of it occurs switching between tasks and opening up apps. I'm not sure what the deal is here
The older processor
Or Amazon's poor use of the UI thread. When you're just kind of moving around Fire OS
It's
Battery life
While decent
Is not as promised
Browser is still slow
Despite the ostensibly more mature Silk predictive loading system and MIMO hardware
Features like X-Ray and FreeTime are either unreleased or underdeveloped at this point
Ugly
The a
Extremely limited memory in the base configuration. Short battery life
Lock-screen ads cost $15 to eliminate
Modified Android OS excels at serving up Amazon content but remains cluttered and restrictive
Amazon App Store can't compete with Google Play
Heavier and wider than some competing tablets
Limited to Amazon's Appstore
Its plastic redesign feels cheap and it lacks the Mayday instant customer service feature. Free space on the 8GB models runs out quickly and there's no expandable memory option. The Amazon app store is less extensive than the Google Play store
Bottom Line
The 7-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HD is a great way to consume your Amazon content on a small screen
But it's not the fastest or most flexible $200 tablet any more
Ads on lock screen cost 15 dollars to remove
Considerably wider than Nexus 7
Smaller app selection than Google Play
Browser off limits in FreeTime mode
Charger costs extra
No access to the Google Play Store or other Google services
No access to the Google
Rigidly locked to the Amazon ecosystem. Sluggish on occasion. Other tablets have more apps
Clunky
Generic design
Locked to Amazon apps and content
No expandable memory
Sluggish performance for some tasks
Unintuitive interface
Battery drains quickly
Lockscreen ads are blatant and annoying
Amazon goes overboard upselling products
Interface is laggy at times
Limited to Amazon services & content
Amazon email/calendar apps don't match Google's
No homescreen customization
Software can be buggy and sluggish
App selection is still weak
For lean-back experiences only
Lacks Goole Play and other core apps
Still lacking depth of personalization
Silk browser still needs work. No quick app switching. No default camera app. Email
Calendar and contacts feel like afterthoughts — the emphasis here is clearly on consuming content
The Amazon Fire 7 is a perfectly decent media consumption device in tablet form — ideal for videos, books, and games. It might not be the best tablet out there, but it's fun, easy to use, and cheap...

There’s a lot to like about the Kindle Fire HDX. The screen is superb, the form-factor sober but sturdy, and the processor cutting edge for the market. Amazon’s $229 starting price (with subsidizing Special Offers on the lockscreen, 16GB of storage, a...
