This is a very good fire tablet. You can't use Google Play but you can substitute APK Pure. It works pretty much the same and lets you install any Android app you want. It's a pretty snappy tablet. It has a beautiful display. It's thin and light. This is not an iPad replacement. It's a totally different animal - It's more functional and considerably faster. Especially in the WI-FI connection. My iPad Air supports Wi-Fi 6 and runs to my internet top speed of 500 MB/second. The fire tablet is supposed to support AC. It still only goes up to 300 MB/second. It's a good speed, but only good enough for entertainment. The Wi-Fi strength diminishes faster at longer distances than the iPad too. Bottom line: It's a good tablet and a boatload cheaper than the iPad, provided you don't need an industrial strength tablet. I have a herd of Kindle Fire Tablets from over the years. I think I buy at least one new one every 2 years, if not yearly. The price is right, especially during Prime Day or Black Friday sales, so why not? The "old" ones then become upgrades for my parent's tablets -- or they get used as a touch-screen interface to a music system or home automation system, or they upgrade the really old ones that eventually become too slow or are no longer supported. I have a few tablets I designate for use when I'm outside grilling or partying and don't mind getting beat up a bit. These 10in tablets are a nice size for when you want a bigger screen. We've used them on Zoom calls with relatives and it's nice not having to listen to the noise of a laptop fan spinning up and down while video conferencing. I've used them with some cloud gaming services and once again, it's awesome not having to hear a fan like you usually would when playing games on a laptop or PC. I've also used these tablets to connect remotely to my desktop. Paired with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard you can essentially use the tablet as a "thin client" to connect to a more powerful PC and the battery lasts a lot longer than a normal laptop battery would.
I've used some drawing applications on them too, where even if you just use your finger and pinch-zoom to magnify, you can actually create some pretty nice drawings if you're artistic. The world of apps and usefulness of Kindle tablets really opens up if you side-load Google Play Store. I like Tinycam for viewing wireless pet cameras, SuperDisplay and EasyCanvas for a lag free display for Windows, Squeezer for remote control of Squeezebox music system, Pinball Arcade for pretty authentic pinball experience, Microsoft Remote Desktop to connect to Windows desktops, NoMachine to connect to Mac Mini lag free, Steam Link & a bluetooth Xbox controller to remote play games from my desktop, Touch Portal (powerful remote macro control deck like Steam Deck), Sketchbook for intuitive drawing, Squid for note taking and brainstorming ideas, SimpleMind for quick mind maps, Engross for todo lists, Habits for easy habit tracking, MyRadar for viewing live weather radar & the list goes on! Again, only after installing Play Store do you open up that world of possibilities, otherwise you are limited to what's on the Amazon App Store. If you're a bit technical it's not hard to figure out. My wife and I love our Kindle Tablets and this 10in tablet is was the newest member of the group. We've had very few issues with any of the tablets we've bought over the years, aside from some of the normal things that happen after you've installed dozens and dozens of apps and at some point have to wipe the tablet to clear it out and speed it up. But no hardware issues to speak of really.
They've just "worked" and have been pretty rock-solid. Unless they become more expensive, or quality changes, we'll continue buying Kindle tablets in the future. I love to read and am so glad to have this portable technology! My first Kindle died of old age, so I already enjoyed Kindle products. This model has a bigger screen, vey clear pictures, and is lightweight. I was able to load my book library without a problem, and love the higher speed of this newer model. Kindle books are wonderful, as my physical storage is very limited in my home. I have a transportable library I can enjoy so easily. Being a senior newbie in ownership of the first tablet ever, I really like this tablet. I've had it now a month and being disabled, I have been using it faithfully every day for many many hours per day. Since I've never had a tablet before I can't really compare it to another. But, there are a couple of issues I have been having and don't know if this is normal behavior for a tablet or not. First issue that is really bothered to me is that after watching a lot of videos from streaming most of the day that suddenly the videos start getting "choppy." This means that I'll be watching a video and it hits a snag and stalls briefly and then starts up and continues to do this nonstop. It gets so irritating that I have to stop watching videos completely and turn the tablet off. No, this isn't a WiFi buffer issue. I have a similar issue with my flat screen TV because it's not a Smart TV, and it's older. With the TV, though, I'm lucky if I can watch more than a movie before the subtitles go off sync with the video and have to restart. I'm suspecting that the video stalling issue might be other than the tablet, but don't know for sure. But, I'll have watched videos most of a day before this stalling starts to happen. Since I can't be certain if the issue is with the tablet and not the streaming service, I give the benefit to the tablet. The second issue is with the video selection on the tablet. I'll have the screen with a bunch of squares of different videos to select from and when I select one on the screen, it responds by opening up something completely different that is on a different part of the screen. Again, I don't know if this is a tablet issue for sure, but it is a little annoying when I'm trying to decide on what I want to watch next and something else pops up that I didn't select. Also, when I'm watching a video, the tablet doesn't respond always when I touch it to pause it. Again, don't know if this is a tablet issue or not. BUT, I love both the video and audio quality of the tablet. I got the tablet for the purpose of watching my streaming videos and it's been a wonderful experience. One thing that really pleasantly surprised me was the audio!! Absolutely fantastic! It's like having surround sound when watching videos. I got the case to go with the tablet as well and it's really nice. It took me a bit to adjust to the case in maneuvering it in my bed when laying down, but it's satisfactory. After all, these things aren't really designed with the disabled in mind. But, it is a nice quality case cover for the tablet. I have a few cats, so the case cover protects it very nicely against their tendencies to lay atop the tablet. It's a good protection for falling off the bed when I've fallen asleep. So, for my first experience with a tablet, this is great. Makes me wonder what took me so long to buy one.
