I was just sitting here thinking why not write a review on my kindle. Kindle Fire HD~ Newest Version~One of my Best Buys Overall, I think Amazon has a great little AFFORDABLE tablet here. I would give this 5 stars, but that would be reserved for when I can comment on the durability and the ease of fixing any issues that may crop up. I do wish that there was some ability to customize the look a nd arrangement of the on-screen items. It's a bit heavier than I was prepared for, but I had no idea what to expect, either.
However, I think that this tablet is equipped to do everything that you want, from watching HD videos from the cloud or downloaded to the device, to silly gaming apps, to emails, to reading e-books. I have to say that other than a less-than-stellar battery life, I love this thing! Now, I am old enough that I was not raised on gadgets, so I don't need the latest and greatest device.
I finally broke down and bought the Kindle Fire HD 8.9' primarily as an entertainment source for my 5 y/o during 600 mile trips to see family several times a year. I have had my eye on the Kindle Fire for a couple of years now.
