The editors didn't like

  • No offline Lovefilm videos
  • Slow browser
  • Rivals have better specs
  • We said in our iPad mini review just how much we liked the thin bezels on it
  • And that they were a breath of fresh air in tablet design. The Amazon Kindle Fire HD is unfortunately the opposite. They’re massive. It looks more like a digital photo frame than a tablet with its enormous plastic frame that makes the screen seem tiny - the fact that it’s as wide as an iPad mini still makes it all the m
  • Sluggish performance for some tasks

  • Some features are hit-and-miss
  • Not as customizable as other Android tablets
  • No GPS functionality
  • Online stores are sluggish
  • Lack of core tablet functionality

  • Because the range of apps is curated
  • It's very small. Video looks good but you can't zoom in on widescreeners
  • So big black bars dominate the screen
  • Less apps and games to enjoy
  • Makes internet shopping too easy
  • Its chunky body won't be for everyone
  • Fire OS 4 is as restrictive as ever for those looking for more customisation and control
  • The screen has a slight yellowish tinge

  • Gorgeous screen, Very easy to use, Budget price with 16GB of storage
  • Rigidly locked to the Amazon ecosystem, Other tablets have more apps, Somewhat sluggish at times
  • In the end, we can still recommend the Kindle Fire HD, as the slate has a lot going for it. If you want an easy-to-use media consumption tablet, the Fire HD will certainly keep you entertained. The excellent 7in display and potentially boosted Wi-Fi perf...

  • Clearly satisfied with the success of last year's initial launch, it seems Amazon is now intent on building up the Kindle Fire HD to make it the most compelling and feature-rich tablet you can buy for £159. Purists will still prefer something like the ...

  • The Amazon Fire 7 is a perfectly decent media consumption device in tablet form — ideal for videos, books, and games. It might not be the best tablet out there, but it's fun, easy to use, and cheap...

  • The Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7 is faster than last year's model and starts at an affordable $140 (£120). Amazon's Sangria OS is user-friendly and new features make the tablet easily shareable for families
  • Its plastic redesign feels cheap and it lacks the Mayday instant customer service feature. Free space on the 8GB models runs out quickly and there's no expandable memory option. The Amazon app store is less extensive than the Google Play store
  • For an inexpensive tablet, the Fire HD 7 satisfies with a practical, family-friendly operating system, but those interested in a 7-inch tablet can find models with better build quality in the same price range....

  • Bright screen. Solid build. Amazon Prime streaming and FreeTime kids' content. Very easy to use.
  • Extremely limited memory in the base configuration. Short battery life
  • The Fire HD 7 is a good window to Amazon's content library, but its storage is too limited for much offline use....

  • There’s a lot to like about the Kindle Fire HDX. The screen is superb, the form-factor sober but sturdy, and the processor cutting edge for the market. Amazon’s $229 starting price (with subsidizing Special Offers on the lockscreen, 16GB of storage, a...
