The editors didn't like
The Kindle Fire HDX's buttons are an improvement on the virtually invisible suckers from the Fire HD
But like we noted
They're still weird. And there are other odd quirks as well. The microUSB port where you'll plug in for charging is angled strangely
Software experience is limiting
Lacks rear camera
No Google means the company's communication services aren't there
The solid body is marred by the shiny plastic piece on the back and mushy buttons
If you're used to the stock Android experience
You might have trouble finding what you want
Accessing f
Limited number of apps
Emphasis on Amazon services

The Kindle Fire HDX is generally a vast improvement over the Kindle Fire HD. You can read books and delve into the vast array of apps, but for us the whole experience has been enhanced by the additional RAM and raw processing power; which made for an ultr...
Abstract: I have looked at several different Kindles, the HDX7 breaks new ground in that apart from it being an excellent book reader – the thing Kindle started as – it is now almost a full Android tablet so the screen is in colour at 1920x1080....

Beautiful display. Small, compact size. Perfect for general internet use and those who have invested heavily in Amazon's ecosystem
Does not support the Google Play store. This is an issue that could make this tablet a non-starter for many people

Mayday is innovative, Great screen, Fast performance
Dark spots on screen, Poor browser, Dated games

Excellent quality screen, Good build and finish, Good processing and graphics performances, Decent battery life
No microSD card port, Plain, quite basic interface, No rearfacing camera, A closed ecosystem that locks you into Amazon's world, despite being built on Android
