Nice tablet
Phone owned for more than a year

I had the Kindle Fire for just under 3 years before I dropped it on pavement and the screen cracked. It is a nice tablet. It was very reliable. I almost never had problems with it crashing. The browser was nice. It works well as a 1st tablet for young kids.

However, it has such a small app store. It seemed good-sized when I had it (granted for nearly 2 years I owned it, it was the only device that I used that had an app store), but, in hindsight, it is so small. It had no camera, which wasn't a big deal for me when I had it. In hindsight, I must have a camera on a tablet. It has only 8GB of storage (which fills up quickly). I left the Amazon ecosystem after the Kindle Fire broke (went a few months without a tablet, then got the iPad Air 2). Overall, a nice tablet, but not on par with the top Android/iOS tablets.

Ignore the Reception/Call Quality/Camera ratings

Love it
Phone owned for less than 3 months

Its fast and feels incredibly solid. Yes its Android 2.3.5 , but Amazon has gone out of there way to cover that up with an interesting nice UI. The dual core processor gives fluid performance. The display is brilliant Its an EXCELLENT buy, but if u like a camera & a different UI's i think you should wait for the incomjng 200$ tablets
