After 2 years get a new one
I enjoyed having this tablet for my daughter and the battery life is good. After 2 years it is time for a new one because the battery only lasts 3 hours

Handy to use
I wish it had a flap on the back so i guy t could stand. That being said, I probably couldn’t use it as much as I do.

much better than the 7″
I had a 7″ tablet and it was awful. I returned it and got a different 7″. Same problems. So, I went back to a 10″ and it works much better. I liked the smaller tablet size better, but the 10″ works faster and with no problems.

Great item!
I love this tablet for when needing to keep the kids entertained. I bought it with intentions of using it to digital plan but this won’t work for it. I plan to give to my daughter once she’s old enough and we get a child case for it! I do like that you can put it into “show mode” and use it as an echo show device!

I love my Kindle.
I really use my Kindle a lot and find it reliable and very useful. My only criticism is that I wish downloading shopping apps other than Amazon wasn’t so restrictive.

Great Size
I really only use this for reading. I like the size. I have had no problems with the performance. Size is perfect to take with me. No problems connecting it. You can adjust the font.

Just great
I’ve tried out tablets before and always found them lacking. They were fine for consuming content and being portable browsers but if I wanted to get work done they were too slow or too weak or not comfortable enough to use, especially if I needed a keyboard.Well, I couldn’t resist the Amazon Black Friday deal that paired this tablet with the Bluetooth keyboard case, and now I love it. Finally, all the functionality I need, with portability and performance. And it didn’t cost an arm and a leg like my old Samsung tablet or the more recent Apple tablet I got for a family member.The screen is great, it’s bright and colorful and supports full HD. The touch screen performance is pretty good too. With the keyboard case I can type emails quickly and even when just browsing or reading I can use the keyboard keys for navigation since sometimes that’s more precise than the touch screen. The tablet even has stereo speakers.The one thing I really like the tablet for is reading documents with graphics such as comic books and magazines. For text only, a lighter reader or a phone are ok. But I always found it uncomfortable to read comics and magazines. Not anymore. With the Kindle app’s special comic reading mode that expands each panel into view one by one, my poor aging eyes can enjoy comics on the tablet without having to put on glasses. Magazines are still a little tricky and you have to spend time zooming in on text but it’s still better than older tablets when it comes to reading.Cons? Not many, but as other reviewers have noted, this device lives in the Amazon ecosystem. So you get Alexa (if you want it), and great Amazon integration with your account, but the Amazon version of the Play store may not have all the apps you use. There are also ads on the lock screen in my version, they’re inobtrusive enough, but of course Amazon is in control and could potentially make them more invasive if they wanted to. It’s, at this time, a fair trade-off.The tablet is a very nice and lightweight way to easily grab some reading time before bed, or check email anywhere in the house, or read a magazine. For content creation, nothing will beat a desktop and full-size keyboard, but for what it is, I think this Fire tablet is helpful and functional and affordable.

It’s alright for watching and playing games
This tablet is alright. I can watch videos on it from various apps. The advertisements are only on the unlock screen but they allow you to pay extra to not get those. They aren’t annoying in any way.I have an issue with YouTube on this. It always asks me to “Open App” but this tablet doesn’t allow you to truly use the YouTube app. I can’t read the chat in Livestream videos on YouTube. I think it’s bc it’s a Amazon tablet and not a Samsung or Apple. Maybe it’s a licensing issue. There are many apps that I can’t get with this tablet bc of this issue.I also have an issue with the tablet not telling me when it’s about to die. The only warning I get is the screen getting slightly darker. No other options to get a pop-up warning or anything of the sort. It just dies while I’m watching something.Other than those issues I haven’t many with this tablet. It’s a nice substitute for using your phone to watch movies and videos.

It’s fast and user friendly
Love the fire 10. It’s fast, easy to use and work beautifully for my needs. Lost one star because I can’t mirror anything onto my tv. That feature would have made it 5 stars for sure.

No Acorn TV App
Be aware, if you’re a fan of Acorn TV, there is no app for it on this Amazon Fire Tablet, and watching it online, on the tablet’s Silk browser, as well as the Google Chrome browser on this device is problematic. It freezes for 30 seconds to 5 minutes on and off while watching a show. I haven’t been able to resolve the issue with customer service. They just say to download it from the App Store.

Good product for the price… For the price!
I mean it’s ok, if it’s your first tablet or maybe a just for backup or basic use (like my case) it’s completely fine, but if you are used to high end tablets like the iPad and on market for a replacement, you maybe wanna look for a similar product to the one you are replacing.The screen is fine indoor or where there isn’t direct sunlight on it, it runs smooth, speakers are decent for indoor use. Overall it does the job.However it has it flaws and some let’s say uniqueness on it…1- If you are used to mid/high end smartphones in general or iPads and is used to touch the screen to wake the device up. This one doesn’t you have to click the power button. Again it’s ok for the price but sometimes annoying when you just wanna quickly check notifications.2- For it’s size the battery life could be a bit better.3- Fire OS is based on Android but is a limited Android, some apps on Amazon App store are just shortcut for web-based apps like Youtube, you can’t even install Google Chrome because it’s not available, some people on Internet have tutorials for installing Google Play Store and install apps from there, I personally didn’t try because I don’t know if it would void my guarantee and even if would be safe.4- It’s light (which is good) but when you hold in your hand straightaway you can tell one of the ways how Amazon managed to cut cost and make the price so accessible, the plastic on the back just feels cheap, like really cheap…5- the volume buttons don’t have an actual fixed function and both are up and down depends on the orientation you are at, it takes a bit to get used to, because it’s meant to be intuitive since it changes according to the orientation you are using it, whichever is under is going to be down and which is over is the up button, but we are used to the buttons having a fixed function because other devices have a specific bottom and top, apparently not the case here and it’s a bit confusing at first.6- Native apps are not great and is a bit of a let down Amazon pushing us to use the Silk Browser and Mail apps, they are ok, but I really wish I could just have Google Chrome and Outlook amd Gmail apps.As I told I bought as a secondary tablet, when I don’t want to turn on the TV in the bedroom and just want to watch something, but feel like a waste using the iPad Pro (that’s used for professional affairs only) for binging Hulu or Netflix… This one is great! Does the job, is confortable for reading.However it’s mostly for doing basic stuff, so if you are considering it as a substitute for a laptop for example, consider an iPad/iPad Pro or Surface/Surface Pro.But you wanna something basic just to watch streaming services and browsing the Amazon deals… This one does it…

Great gift!
I ordered this for my great grandson’s birthday. He loves it. At 11 years old he has outgrown toys, and is a bit hard to buy for. This was a perfect gift for him. He can choose the books he likes to read or the games he likes to play. And with his earphones on he can use it while traveling. Great gift for those tween years!

Best tablet available for the price
We’ve used Kindle and Kindle Fire tablets for years from Paperwhites to Kindle Fire 6, 7, 8 and 10HD. Most of the time they have worked well. Occasionally, they haven’t and it’s hard to tell what the problem is. Is it the tablet or the internet provider or the internet. Maybe you’re just getting what you paid for, but you’re not over-paying, especially if you buy when they are on sale…and they often are. I personally have recommended Kindle tablets to many people.

Cannot Be Without It!!!
My wife got me this and I thought OK, I’ll give it a try. Famous last words!!! To put a long story short, I seldom watch our 48″ TV now as I watch everything on my Fire. Plus I have a set of headphones that do not require a wire connection, so I can watch what ever I want and not bother anybody else. I use this for lots of other purposes besides movies and TV as it is very versatile. She also got me an anti-glare screen to go over it and that is a real plus as well.

Still not an HDX, but is it better than the 2019 model?
I won’t repeat my complaints about the lack of a successor to the HDX (see my earlier reviews) and will focus this review only on what matters to me vis-a-vis the 2019 model.2019 HD 10I’m on my second one because the first died before a year was out, and Amazon replaced it under warranty. I hate it. Almost as much as I disliked the 2017 HD 10″ model.Why? Well, for the first month or so it ran OK. Then the same problems occurred: constant freezes, the screen always going blank and an apparent utter dislike for Twitter, the only social media I use. A software update temporarily seemed to solve the problems, but they reappeared after a few weeks.The 2019 has become increasingly slow. Moving from app to app is torturous. The Candy Crush games I play sometimes won’t even load, other times semi-freeze. And Twitter is simply awful. I’ve tried repeatedly to delete the cache to speed things up, but it only occasionally helps. Either it won’t load at all or videos won’t play or it fails to update the TL of somebody I follow. And it is more often than not slower than molasses.App updates: I have to download and install them one-by-one because if I simply do an “update all”, they’ll all end up showing either “downloading” or “installing” forever. Even if the battery is 100% or the HD is plugged in.Even the Kindle Library has become barely usable. Books won’t load or I’ll start a book and get thrown back to the Library screen repeatedly.I’ve increasingly come to rely on my Galaxy S20+ for everything except reading books because one needs a larger screen to enjoy a book.2021 HD 10It turned on easily after unboxing and everything went smoothly until:COLLECTIONSAlthough, supposedly, a restore was down from the last 2019 backup, only five collections appeared and they weren’t fully populated. I thought “Here we go again. I’ll have to download the apps one by one and slowly recreate the collections”. Only part of that proved to be true. As I downloaded the apps, they filled in the collections where they belonged or created the collections they were in. This wasn’t as easy as if Amazon had down a complete restore but it was far better than what I went through, twice, with the 2019 model.On the other hand, Amazon’s handling of collections should shame every single one of its developers who, presumably, owns a smartphone. Even the cheapest smartphone lets you create collections by selecting apps/games from a list. You can’t do that with Amazon’s non-book collections. Nor can you sort them or even scroll through a collection easily. It drives me nuts.APP UPDATESI ran the first multi-app update the other night and it went quickly and smoothly.APP SWITCHINGSo far, I’ve been able to easily and quickly switch among various apps.TWITTERIt works smoothly with one big hiccup today: a number of videos/photos simply didn’t load. I checked Twitter on my smartphone and everything was fine. Fingers crossed that this was a momentary glitch and not a sign of things to come.PERFORMANCEPerformance has been quite snappy, not quite on a par with my smartphone but close enough so I don’t feel a need to use the Galaxy.SD CARDI haven’t ever used one because of numerous problems reported over the years, and I bought the 64GB model so I’m hoping I won’t need to try it out.NON-AMAZON APPS, GAMES AND BOOKSAs usual, you’re up a creek if you’ve downloaded anything that doesn’t come from Amazon. They won’t be restored. You won’t even find them on your tablet. This might be a good reason for indulging in an SD Card, but there’s no guarantee that it will work in the next model. (Samsung’s flagship models no longer have a slot for an SD Card.)SECURITYWhy oh why oh why must I login anew to every app and every web site? Amazon has my ids and passwords. Why does it forget them every time I get a new device?CONCLUSION:Overall, this is a solid entertainment tablet with more than adequate performance. The updated software is, IMO, less user-friendly than the software version it replaced, but it is usable. (I wish I could talk with some of the developers to find out why they are doing what they are doing.)

OK for some things, but not what I need
I bought this tablet because I don’t have one and the price was great. My wife has an older one and seems to like it quite a bit. The problem is, it really seems to only be good for reading, streaming video or light web surfing. When I read, I like actual, physical books. If I’m watching video, I have a 65″ OLED TV with surround sound. Worst case scenario, I have a 14″ 2-in-1 laptop I can use. A 10″ screen isn’t really big enough for video, IMHO.As for web surfing, the only browser available is Silk, which I had never heard of. And while it works on a basic level, it doesn’t not provide me with the customization and options I get with other browsers. For example, I can’t set it to clear cache upon exit. Nor is there an option for private browsing.Because this device works on a ‘forked’ version of Android and not a ‘skin’, the only app store that really works is the Amazon app store, which is sorely lacking in terms of what is available for this device. I couldn’t download Firefox, nor any other that I might prefer – not even Chrome. I couldn’t download The Weather Channel. It took forever to find my favorite game. I finally had to search by the name of the developer. Those are just a couple of examples, but I literally spent hours trying to figure out a way around that. I’m a former IT guy and things like that drive me nuts.One minor irritant is that I can’t choose a version of the keyboard that displays the numbers above the letters. I can do that with my phone. It seems like an odd oversight for Amazon not to include that. So, any time I have to enter a password, I have to shift to the numbers/characters, then shift back. And I have to do that more than once while entering a password. It just takes longer and seems unnecessary.There is one other minor irritant for me, which is shutting down and booting up. You have to hold the power button down for a while, then wait for it to respond. And, while shutting down is pretty quick, booting up takes a bit longer than I would like. I know that’s a niggling little thing. but my Windows laptop is quicker and easier (again, IMHO).On the plus side, I was able to download Outlook and Office, as well as a few other minor things. I haven’t had time to finish setting up my mailbox in Outlook, so I can’t comment on that yet. Neither have I transferred any Office files, so I’ll have to reserve comment on that. Nor have I loaded any of my music to it yet. I don’t stream, I buy what I want and store it electronically on my own devices. I don’t anticipate a problem there, but you never know.I have not purchased a cover for it yet, but I’m looking at one with the built-in keyboard. If I’m working in Outlook or Office, I think that will be helpful. But I don’t want anything too bulky, so I’m still mulling that over. I have also not tried connecting it to an external display (such as an overhead projector), so that will be interesting. To be honest, I got so frustrated with it at first, that I just set it aside for awhile and haven’t gotten back to doing most of those things.I should note that I purchased it because I thought it would be more compact, lighter, more portable and more convenient than my laptop. And it would be bigger and easier to use than my Android phone for anything other than voice and text. Sort of a bridge between the two. Time will tell.

An excellent tablet to read books, surf the web and the view the occasional movie
Cost/benefit is superb: US$ 45 for a full HD screen and very responsive for reading books, surfing the web and viewing movies or listening to music. I cannot say anything about game playing (not my thing) but it does perfectly well for the activities I bought it for. It substituted very nicely both my Kindle and my old Asus tablet. Nothing is perfect: – I could do without the ads but they show only once every time the screen wakes up (you can pay to get rid of them) – it comes sort of locked to the Amazon app world but it is very easy to “open” it up and install other apps from the Google world; you WILL lose the warranty but will gain a ton of flexibility app wise, without losing (that I’ve seen) any functionality from the installed Amazon OS – the home screen is not very configurable; even when you “open” the OS you will not have the flexibility of the common Android interface; I say “open” in the sense that you can install apps not originally from the Amazon app store, not substitute the Amazon tweaked Android that comes installedAnd many good things: – very good screen, responsiveness is great (for what I use it) – good sound (not excellent) – wi-fi works really well, both 2G and 5G – and the occasional Amazon app that I dislike (Amazon Photos, for instance) I installed something else; another example, I use VLC for watching movies – the build is excellent, at least from the outside (I am not going to open it to check inside)Looking at other tablets, I would have to pay 10 times as much to have something as good as my Fire!

Truly Impressed! Avid Control surface users- don’t hesitate!!
Just before Christmas in 2021, this item popped up on sale for just $75. We’re an apple family. We have numerous iPads in the house, plus our iPhones, Mac, MacBooks, Apple TV, etc. I’m an audio mixer, and use a product from Avid called the S1. It’s a control surface for Pro Tools that is meant to house a tablet for additional functionality- or eye candy. My older IPad worked, but looked tiny in the cradle, and wasn’t all that useable. I wanted something bigger, but didn’t want to spend the money on yet another iPad. For $75, I was willing to roll the dice.It fits great, looks great, and does exactly what I bought it for.But then I started to explore it deeper. It has built in Alexa with the wake word Amazon. As an audio engineer working from home, I sporadically have actors coming to record. I’ve got Ring doorbells at the entrances, and Echo devices in nearly every room. But for the first time, I can say “Amazon, show me the front door!”, and actually SEE it- and a lot faster than the Ring app on my phone would allow. This was a nice bonus. In fact, in my experience and opinion, Alexa works for much quicker and more reliably than Siri, that I’ve found myself relying on it a lot more. Having Alexa in the tablet to verbalize reminders, appointments, phone calls, etc- all right in front of me, is amazing!I became fascinated with my new toy, and downloaded all the steaming media we subscribe to, plus other apps for news and weather that provide lots of content. I quickly found that I enjoyed watching tv on a 10 inch screen a lot more than on my iPhone. It’s nice to have lunch at the table with my kiddo and share a video we can both easily see and hear. So- this little guy has a great screen and works perfectly for watching shows, movies, YouTube, news, etc.Now- I love my iPhone, and have my music library in iTunes. But when I purchase music, it’s always via Amazon. This is because I get my MP3 files instantly for most albums- but then have a physical disc arrive that often goes unopened. I just like know that HAVE the disc if I ever need to load it again or want to enjoy it in my stereo system. My iPhone can store a decent amount of music internally for when streaming isn’t an option. But I was floored to learn that the HD10 2021 has a micro SD card slot that can store up to 1 TB!!! That’s amazing to me. I can preload entire series, movies, music, photos- anything I need for a long trip or chilling in downtime. For like $25 I added a 400 gig card. Why iPads don’t have this is beyond me.I work with and coach voice actors outside of my day job as a recording engineer. Having that much memory on a tablet and access to an app like WavePad, gives them the ability to record in a pinch while away from their studios. On-screen editing is also fun and easy. I actually added a nifty stylus and case to my HD10, along with a Bluetooth keyboard. It’s essentially a mobile studio, albeit limited.While I haven’t experimented a ton with this- Silk browser (which seems to run on Chrome) allows me to use Source Connect Now to tap into actors or listen to sessions remotely at “CD quality”. Of course you can also use Zoom, Skype, etc.As an apple user, I still want access to my ICloud apps, like Contacts, calendar, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, etc. You can log into your iCloud account and get it all. The trick is to choose “request desktop site”, otherwise you dead-end at “find my device”. You can even log into Apple Music via the browser. So all my apple stuff is still with me!I chose Outlook email to run my various work and personal emails and have a unified calendar. It’s perfect for what I need.For $75, I’m finding myself using it more than I have ever used my iPad. It’s the right screen size for me to actually be productive with it, while also having endless entertainment in reach. Add a case, keyboard and stylus- and you’re good to go!

Moving from a 2017 release 10 to this model…
…due to decreasing battery life and wear and tear on the charging port..but in fairness I have used it every day for five years and it still works…the USB-C is an improvement over the micro-usb connection…the weight is about the same…the new unit has better ram and storage than the previous unit along with the screen display but for myself the change had been marginal (so far) with the caveat that I only use it to read e-books and stream movies and for that purpose it (IMO) is one of the best bang for the buck items on the market…my only two real complaints are the sound which is nasty/horrible on some movies…you really need headphones or some sort of bluetooth connection to other speakers…the other is that it was extremely difficult to connect to my Altice/Optimum Wifi…it took close to 40 tries before it made a connection…it was easier on my 2017 release…I’m not sure where to place the blame but it was a problem nonetheless…I would seriously suggest upgrading from the 9 to a 15 volt charger. Otherwise I am ok with this unit. Edit: what I do notice is the color is more vibrant than previous models…that’s a definite plus…also there is way too much bitchin’ about the screen lock…you only see it one time and you move past it…you save some money and a buck is a buck…I’ve actually had some useful information from the adverts. I would add You cannot rely on just the basic information from the manufacturer that its cord fits a Fire 10. It may or may not. ALL you have to look at is the charging port to see if it’s a USB-C or a micro-USB. For example, the previous Fire 10 I have is a 7th gen 2017 release that uses the micro-USB. Again, all you have to do is look at the charging port to see which one it is. My understanding is that the Fire can handle up to a 15W charger and the 9W one supplied by Amazon is too weak for my purposes. It may be they do this out an abundance of caution so that a power surge doesn’t damage the unit, but I come from a long line of village idiots so what do I know. I’m told the length of the cord may also affect how fast an item charges. I bought a 10ft one that works fine. My other observation after numerous Fires I have owned is the subject of reinforced/braided cords. My experience is that the braided cords because of their stiffness have a tendency to damage the charging port. And as many of you know that is usually the first to go. Yes, braided may last longer but I’d sooner replace a cord than a Fire. Considerably cheaper in the long run. All I know is that the 15w one works better than the OEM item. Just as an additional item there is this issue of breakage of the cord. I have bought a fair number of cords for my Fires over the years from various companies and have NEVER had a breakage issue. It is true that I have accidentally tripped over and otherwise inadvertently pulled cords from the Fire a number of times which could have resulted in breakage. I have been lucky it didn’t but have probably “worn out” the charging ports earlier than they should have because of my clumsiness. Considering I use and charge the Fire every day, regardless of the protestations, I am reasonably certain that most of the complaints from non-braided cords have resulted from that and not from defects in the cords themselves. All that is required is that you have to be careful when inserting and pulling the cord from the device as I have to keep reminding myself.

A huge step up and big improvement over my older HD 8
I’m a iPad/Mac user, but, for kindle book reading, I’ve used a dedicated Fire Tablet HD 8 that I’ve had for well over 2 years.When this new model 10 inch Fire Tablet was reduced in price during the holidays in 2021, I decided it was time to make the jump to a larger screen (more (paper) book sized) and gain more battery ife per charge due to a larger battery.This 10 incher did not disappoint at all. As a primary use for Kindle books, I’m getting 20 or more % battery life then the 12 hours the specs suggest this tablet can get.The screen quality for reading is perfect. I typically set it to lower brightness (fixed) and there’s no glare in the eyes nor any eye strain when using in a darkened bedroom at night.The faster processor then my older 8 inch HD clearly adds some speed to anything you do on this tablet.There’s no lag at all in trying it for video, gaming, etc. As stated though, for me, I use a Fire Tablet primarily as a reader, period.Screen resolution and contrast is excellent, certainly not any better ( and a little less) than my iPad PRO, but, of course we’re talking a big difference in cost between tablets here and very different display technologies as well.That said, this 10 inch HD Tablet is no slouch in offering a clear, sharp/detailed display with very sufficient color saturation and accuracy plus nice crisp text over-all.Given Amazon offers just about any app needed for this fire Tablet, it certainly could be used for just about everything that an iPad could be and at a competitive price to the new basic model iPad model that sells in the $330+ dollar range now.Some reviewers said due to where the camera is (oddly) located, one must use this Fire tablet in a case with the cover opening to the right rather then to the conventional left, but, not true. Since this tablet can flip screen orientation based on where the top of screen is located, I’m using a hard shell case for my Fire and the conventional left cover opening as normal. Granted the camera is at the bottom left corner in my configuration, but, that is no issue since if one needs to use the camera, they can orient the tablet however they wish and the screen (and camera) will orient as needed for photos. The net here is you can use the tablet in a case and flip open the left cover as normal.As an owner of both an iPad Mini and an iPad Pro 11 inch, I can say in all honesty, anyone wanting a tablet on a budget and hoping to get some decent performance and screen quality plus great battery life won’t be disappointed at all in this new model 10 inch Fire Tablet.I got the base 32 GB version with ads. Ads only show on the screen saver when opening up the sleep/wake cover and a one finger flip up of the screen goes back to where you left off or the home screen. Ads really are not a biggie in this context at all.Given one can add a micro SD card to gain more storage space, and Micro SD cards are dirt cheap now, the 32GB version is fine for me.No complaints at all and 5 stars all around for this Fire Tablet. A well designed tablet at a very good price.I highly recommend it! If you order one, it’ll be a definite “keeper”.

Cost value is off the charts
I do not use HD 10 tablets as I am predominately an iPad user but my nieces and nephews use them near exclusively so I do tend to pick one up from time to time to see how they are before either keeping it as a backup for when they inevitably break one of their tablets or as a backup for myself in a pinch.The wonderful thing, yet again, about Amazon Fire HD tablets are the insane value you achieve for the cost. I am not expecting iPad levels of performance nor the fit and polish but what you get in exchange is absolutely fantastic performance for the cost.I found some of the older Amazon tablets simply too slow even for day to day operation for myself but this new 2021 model? It’s the first time the performance is starting to catch up at this price point which means it will only get better from this point.Setup was straight forward and if you’re tied into the Amazon eco-system and/or a Prime subscriber, the tablet really extends value into exploring all that Amazon has to offer.I found the screen decently responsive with minimal lag. It isn’t perfect and near instantaneous, but it is much better than previous generations. The Amazon app store has numerous apps that work great and at the heart of this tablet it is an Android device which opens up other options if you so choose.The screen quality is more than acceptable. You won’t be blown away, but you won’t be disappointed either at this price point.The sound quality is average at best. For casual use it is fine, but if you are playing games, listening to music or watching a movie, I’d definitely recommend headphones.The thinness, weight and form factor are great for a 10″ display. I found the unit a bit slippery for my tastes and put it in a classic smart folio case and that fixed that.Charging time is decent and battery life is pretty exceptional for normal use.In summary, it is a good tablet that really shines if you’re a Prime member or deeply embedded in Amazon services. It has a good screen, fast enough response as to not cause fits, ok sound and good battery life. What elevates it clearly is the value you achieve at this price point versus much more expensive tablets that while they are clearly better the return on investment isn’t as high.5/5

Great price, fun device for on the go
I bought this as a backup tablet, as my original one is getting older and the battery is failing. Overall, I love it. It has slightly smaller total dimensions, but is still the perfect size for me. I like how fast it charges using its USB-C charger, and it seems to hold a charge well. Screen is very touch responsive. It sometimes seems to have a mind of its own, tho, closing apps for no reason, and can take longer than I like to load the home page. It also can tend to make my SD cards read only when I don’t want them to be. I love the ability to make it password protected. I am technologically challenged, and this was easy to set up and use even for me. It would be nice if it were easier to figure out how to change the battery, or even if it’s possible. I got this tablet at a great price, if you’re willing to watch and wait you can find it up to half off at certain times during the year. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tablet to anyone in the market for one.

Almost 3 years old and then this happened…
I love(d) my Fire tablet. Then, on Friday (the 13th), I opened it to play my daily Wordle game, and I was greeted by the first picture below. There is something that resembles watermarks, but not on the glass surface. So I turned on the power, and what follows in the pictures is what appeared when the tablet came on. My tablet has always been protected by the Famavala case I purchased at the same time. The glass surface is not broken. The distortions in the next pictures seem to somehow be associated with those watermarks. I am so disappointed. I also checked back in my sales history and noticed there was not a warranty offer when I purchased the tablet. Is this even fixable?

Good value-for-money tablet
This is my second Amazon Fire HD 10 and like the previous purchase, it offers a lot of value given the affordable price. I mostly use it for entertainment , e-commerce and e-books but it has also worked well as a business tool for online meetings and other productivity apps.

Great tablet
I would like to say I have owned this tablet for over a year now and it meets or exceeds what i need. The system is an Amazon fire OS (operating system) and it works like android but not quite. Android pretty much works with everything and Fire OS is temperamental especially with apps like you tube. You can get around it but its just not a download and work type system.It is thin and light compared to other tablets.It works with Alexa if you’re used to using Alexa AI. I can adjust volume manually or ask Alexa to raise or lower volume on a 10 scale.I like to watch shows, tv and movies on mine and it does well. It has a micro ssd slot to expand memory which is where i put my movies ans shows if i go on a trip that may not have wi-fi.I have apps such as you tube, you tube tv, paramount+, so it is versatile although some apps do need tweaking to apply to tablet.I also use it as a morning alarm clock and timers for things such as cooking or timeout for kids . . .lol.The sound is better than most since the speakers are on bottom of unit when turned on its side. The sound reflects from hard surface and provides better sound than just going out to side and not being directed to you.This unit does have Bluetooth which is convenient for earbuds if needed.It did come with microsoft 365 however I chose not to use it.You can use a wireless keyboard along with charging dock.All in all I am pleased with my purchase of this device and it does what I want, I would buy again.

Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet, 10.1″, 1080p Full HD, 32 GB
I have been purchasing these “when Amazon has been selling them at a reduced price”, for my sons to use, as well as one for me. I like being able to own a tablet at a price I can afford. It is a very capable and nice/pleasing tablet!

Pretty good
This isn’t my first Fire tablet, so it’s pretty much what I expected, except, I thought it would be able to cast to my TV, and so far I can’t get it to. I don’t know if I prefer it to an android tablet. I don’t even use the Alexa feature. But it’s fine. It’s what you’d expect out of a modern tablet.

Great screen, good quality for the money
The keyboard case is pretty nice. It basically turns into a nice little laptop. Easy to use and responds quickly without lag. The memory expansion option is nice. I’m happy with it. The split screen feature is great if you want to have music or tv on the side while you read news or surf the web.Update: I’ve had it for around 3 weeks now. I still really like it. It works well as my entertainment laptop. It handles email, streaming services, Kindle and Audible books, Amazon photos, etc. really well. I added the 256GB memory chip. It isn’t a work laptop replacement but is great for entertainment/home use where you’re tired of using your smartphone and want a bigger screen but not a full blown laptop. That’s what this is perfect for in my opinion. I really like the keyboard and find it handy as a good quality storage case in addition to being a keyboard. Very happy with it and would buy again.Update August 12, 2021: I’ve had this for 2.5 months now and still really enjoy it. I think it is perfect for what I wanted – an entertainment machine. I still wouldn’t recommend it as a work laptop replacement, but if you’re looking for something to read news, watch TV in a portable way with hot spot on your phone, review email, surf the web, and do your internet shopping – I’d say get this with the keyboard case. For the money, this is as good as you’ll get on the market today.Update April 11, 2022: The tablet is still great for my purposes. The add-on keyboard for it had keys that stopped working, so I wouldn’t recommend that any longer. I’d buy the tablet itself again for sure though. Haven’t had any problems after almost a year and it is still zippy. Still love the HD screen, too.Update August 30, 2022: I still use this regularly at night while watching news in the background. Still love it and would buy again. Never had a glitch or problem with it and still enjoy the high quality screen.

Handy for reading
Very handy for reading. I’ve read more books with this than I have in ages. Not crazy about the ads every time I open it or the little beeps it gives off occasionally. I think the beeps are to help you find it if you put it down somewhere though. There’s lots of things you can do with it I haven’t even tried yet.
