The editors didn't like
Silly Origami camera mode
Smaller screen than you might like
Specs don't add up to industry-leading performance
Software has some bugs
Optional keyboard feels cheap
Camera's are merely serviceable
Tied tightly to Amazon's services. Limited storage in the initial configuration
Lock-screen ads cost extra to remove
No MicroSD card slot
Amazon Appstore remains a fraction of the size of Google Play
Power and volume-button location
Mediocre cameras
Smaller app selection than competition
Limited onboard storage
The remote video viewing feature won't be ready at launch
And ad-free versions still cost an extra $15. The 16GB of space runs out quickly when storing HD movies
And there's no built-in storage expansion. Lack of Google Play access means many apps still
No challenge to the iPad as a productivity device
Not that much less expensive than an iPad
Its superiority as a content device is contingent on buying most of your books
Movies
And music through Amazon
No HDMI port or MicroSD card slot
Amazon Appstore is about a tenth the size of Google Play
Power and volume buttons poorly located
Lousy cameras. Not as many apps as standard Android tablets or iPads. Interface very focused on buying things from Amazon
Tied into Amazon architecture
Adverts
Google Play
Cameras are just average
User interface is overly simplified
Not a whole lot that's dramatically different
The experience still lacks productivity depth
Platform is still limited with its apps selection
App ecosystem lags behind iOS and Android
And Google apps could fill in big gaps. The best deal is an 16GB version with lockscreen ads
But the an adfree 32GB HDX jumps up to 4. Doesn't look any different than the last one. Firefly doesn't always work
Mediocre camera
Can't access to Google Play Store apps
The Kindle Fire HDX 8.9″ tablet is available starting at $379 for Wi-fi version with special offers. If you are shopping on Amazon
