Movie- and TV-watching on the HDX is revelatory. Between the beautiful screen (if it's playing high-quality content
E.g. Prime or anything hi-res and native)

You'll wonder why

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

Slight inconsistencies in screen brightness
There's no replacement for the Play Store
Core apps still aren't perfect
Some awkward design decisions

Rubberized surfaces attract dust and grease and can be hard to clean
No SD reader and the dedicated HDMI-out port has bee

Sturdy but lightweight, terrific screen, slimmed down UI, fast processor
No Google Play, no expandable memory
If you choose a Kindle tablet you probably don't want to bother with the sometimes confusing world of standard Android, and Amazon's simplified, iOS-style interpretation of the interface delivers that. Yes, you can add the Kindle app to any other Androi...
Nice, bright screen, Great Mayday support, Easy to use
Blue tint at the edges of screen, HDMI dropped, Disappointing app support
The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7 is a great, easy to use 7-inch tablet with some exciting and unique features you won't find on other Android tablets. It's just a shame about the app support....

The idea behind the Kindle Fire HDX is something that was tried before with early Android tablets: If you can't beat the competition on equal footing, why not flank them by outmuscling the competition for cheaper? It worked for Android against Apple, but ...

The 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX holds its own against the competition thanks to its powerful chipset, eye-popping display, long battery life, and affordable price tag. While there isn't a great deal separating the device from the iPad mini with Retina display...

Superb spec and screen for the price, Great Amazon stores for movies, music, books, Mayday is unreal, priceless for tablet beginners
We want all of Google Play, please, Lovefilm is stream-only, Android is more customisable, iOS prettier
This is a real Nexus 7 alternative. As long as standing at the cutting edge of new apps isn't a big priority the HDX has you well and truly covered, from browsing to cloud storage to buying books, music and magazines. Bringing a new, pepped up Fire OS, z...

Great display, plenty of power, great sound quality, competitive price, some interesting software features
Lack of Google Play support means very little parity with the rest of Android, design might not be for some, no native movie/TV downloads from Lovefilm is a limitation
The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX does a lot to make itself a competitive offering. The detail in the display and the power on offer, for the price, make the Fire HDX a compelling choice of 7-inch tablet. It also offers excellent speaker performance. But...
