The tablet functions as it should. It comes preloaded with so much bloatware it bogged down my wifi. I had to go through and remove or force it to stop. Also, after only a year and a half, the battery stopper holding a charge very long. At least it still takes a charge.

It's an OK tablet if you want to play games or read a Kindle book, maybe watch a video. However, it is limited to the apps that Amazon offers and the browser is not as good as Chrome. I'll go with an Android tablet when I feel the need for a new one as they have a far better selection of apps as well as the Chrome browser.

Runs slow, lags and glitches, has a mind of its own sometimes being all over the place, some games came be played on them, but we make do for the price!

This is a nice tablet. But unfortunately you can't have anything associated with Google on it. As an android user, this is a big negative as the apps and games aren't as good.

The perfect tablet for a toddler, resolution could have been better.

I enjoyed using this until two features were added:1. A bogus "moisture detection" feature that disable the USB port unless you turn the tablet off for recharging, meaning that I can no longer add any books, documents, etc. that are not downloaded from Amazon, and2. The elimination of the "My Library" tab in favor of a "For You" tab that forces me to search through a bunch of ads to find my books, and only the eight most recent books, at that. The screen is almost 3/4 ads.I won't buy a new Fire and don't recommend anyone else buy it either, unless you are solely interested in reading Kindle books acquired from Amazon. It's too bad, because the physical features of the Fire are good for the price. Amazon just went overboard in sacrificing most of the useful software features to chase profit.

this is my 5th Fire. Not sure when they changed the design of the power button, but it's in a horribly uncomfortable spot now. I know there is nothing to be done to change it, will just have to get used to it, but wish the designers could have put it in a more comfortable position like the older models were, so you could use it with one hand instead of two. Of course a change was needed so you are forced to buy new cases.

I rarely use this device. It is always making noises like a computer makes when you plus something into it. Constantly does this even when it is not charging but when t is charging it is constant. I let it die and leave it alone now.
