The size and build are pretty close to ideal. It doesn't reach the high points of an iPad or Nexus 10

It's still the software. The entire Kindle OS feels like a longwinded workaround. Yes

Abstract: Video Review: Amazon's Kindle Fire HD 8.9 offers a 1920x1200 HD display, a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, free unlimited cloud storage and more for only $300. Matt Mira and Candace Bailey weigh the pros and cons of the tablet device for Gadget Pr0n....
Abstract: With an 8.9-inch screen that's not really too big and not really too small, it's one darn comfortable device to hold. It's fantastically thin — more so than an iPad — inside an equally light (but very solid) package. Picking it up, it's immediately appare...

Its not that the 8.9-inch Fire HD isnt a bargain. It is. But at $300, youre halfway from a $200 7-inch tablet to the $400 Jellybean 4.2 Nexus 10. And if youre looking for a full sized tablet that can multitask and run any Androidy thing you want, that...
Very easy to use. Least expensive tablet data plan available. Amazon Prime members get lots of video and book content. Multi-user parental controls.
Other tablets have more apps. Speed is just okay, not great. User interface is very shopping-oriented
The 8.9-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HD is the top low-cost large-screen tablet you can buy, but to get the best bang for your buck, go for the Wi-Fi-only version....

The Kindle Fire HD 8.9 has zippier navigation than its 7-inch counterpart, a beautiful high-definition screen, incredibly fast 4G LTE speeds, seamless streaming performance, and access to one of the best media eco systems available. The new Fire HD interf
Web performance is lacking compared with that of other tablets. Its physical design is fairly plain with buttons that are too flush with its chassis. The curated Appstore means many games and non-entertainment quality apps are not available. There's a $15
If you're looking for a pure media consumption experience, the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 delivers better than any tablet before it. People looking for something more utilitarian, however, will want to look elsewhere.
