  • Lovely 7-inch screen, cracking video, smooth UI, solid build, low price
  • Slow browsing, light on hardware features
  • What the Fire lacks in flexibility, it makes up for in focus. Unbeatable value for media consumption but it won’t threaten the iPad ...

  • Great price, Excellent custom UI, Price-defying build quality, Great new browser, iTunes-matching content, Surprising display quality
  • Poor quality speakers, Silk browser privacy concerns, No cameras, No mic, No GPS or Bluetooth, Performance niggles, No Android Market, Only 8GB storage, No expansion
  • The Amazon Kindle Fire lives up to the hype and delivers more. It's by no mean perfect and there's a laundry list of missing features, but at £125, it's better value for money than any Android tablet and a viable alternative to the iPad...

  • Abstract:  29 September, 2011 by Gareth Halfacree Amazon has finally collapsed the waveform and declared its intentions to compete head-on with the likes of the iPad in the tablet market with the Kindle Fire, a new entry in the company's highly successful Kindle...

  • In many ways, the Amazon Kindle Fire isn't trying to beat the iPad or the Android-tablet masses at their own game. The Kindle Fire is doing its own thing, and going after a totally different audience. ...

  • Incredible pricepoint, Intuitive, innovative UI, Surprisingly good display
  • No Android Market, Slow performance, No UK availability
  • When reviewing the Amazon Kindle Fire we found ourselves constantly revisiting the price point and, with that firmly in mind, were probably willing to cut it more slack than we might have had it cost the same as the Motorola Xoom, or Samsung Galaxy Ta

  • The Kindle Fire's design is looking and feeling ever-more chunky next to the Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7, Amazon's Android skin is still a bit jerky and slow, and the Silk browser is still faster in Amazon's advertising than it is in real life, More and mo
  • As with last year's Kindle Fire, the first thing you have to consider with this year's model is the price. You've got to decide whether the $40 you save over the thinner, lighter, higher-resolution, more-capable Nexus 7 (or Kindle Fire HD, if you're a big...

  • If you're already a heavy Amazon user and/or a Prime subscriber, the Kindle Fire is right up your alley. The integration goes to the core of the user experience, and if you're already accustomed to the ecosystem, you'll find that experience will fit you l
  • It's heavy, and though it's well balanced, your hand will wear out during long reading sessions, Performance is slow around the UI and especially in apps. Reading the WSJ (in the Newsstand, not in the WSJ app) was a miserable experience, and I quickly gav
  • Therein lies the catch with the Kindles. If you're looking for a tablet computer, the Kindle is almost certainly not for you. The system is too inflexible and locked down, and they're designed from the ground up to serve as a middleman. Those who are look...

  • Middling performance, No Android Market access, Occasionally clumsy interface
  • Amazon's first tablet can't quite match the experience of the competition, but for half the price it doesn't have to....
