As much as we love Android it can be a bit confusing. Or perhaps daunting is a better way of putting it
There’s so many things to change about it

And it arrives good to go. Amazon has changed Android 4.0 beyond recognition

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
Unintuitive interface
Battery drains quickly
Adverts are annoying
Unremarkable design and build
Still some gaps in the Appshop in relation to Play Store / No Google software
Interface is excessively uniform / no customisation
Rear photovideo camera is average
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
Poor app store
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
8GB version only has 4.5GB of usable storage
No microSD card slot
Confusing UI
Laggy performance
Have to opt into Amazon services fully to get the most out of it
No Google Play
Limited apps
Browser not up to scratch
Very limited storage
No SD Card slot
Poor cameras
Slightly cheap feel
Prescriptive UI
No GPS
Rigidly locked to the Amazon ecosystem
Other tablets have more apps
Somewhat sluggish at times
Silk browser still needs work. No quick app switching. No default camera app. Email
Calendar and contacts feel like afterthoughts the emphasis here is clearly on consuming content
Reading and watching and listening on the Fire HD is sublime. Once you're in, you're in. The improved screen and body really do make a difference, Advertisement, The screen in particular is wonderful, and holding the 7-inch tablet in portrait is actually
The software still has a long way to go before it's on the same level as iOS or Android. The OS-level lag everyone saw in the hands-on demos after the announcement is not nearly as bad in a normal use environment. But there's still more lag launching larg
For as wonderful as the Fire HD can seem, its a very targeted kind of wonderful. You wont use this as the device to power you through a day full of events and email and documents. And of course, its most likely either a day, or a few weeks, away from b...
Gorgeous screen. Very easy to use. Amazon Prime members get lots of video and book content. Multi-user parental controls.
Bottom Line, The 7-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HD is a great way to consume your Amazon content on a small screen, but it's not the fastest or most flexible $200 tablet any more

Crisp and bright display, Impressively loud speakers, Large selection of movies and music, High-quality Skype calls, Kid-friendly FreeTime mode, Double the storage of Nexus 7
Ads on lock screen cost 15 dollars to remove, Considerably wider than Nexus 7, Smaller app selection than Google Play, Browser off limits in FreeTime mode, Charger costs extra
Amazon's affordable tablet boasts the best screen in its class, booming sound and a great selection of content.
Where do you store all those books and videos? Amazon's cloud, of course, though the Fire HD ships with 16GB of storage, which is more than you get on most tablets in this price range. (The Nexus 7 starts at 8GB for the same price.) You can double that st
Silk browser still needs work. No quick app switching. No default camera app. Email, calendar and contacts feel like afterthoughts — the emphasis here is clearly on consuming content, playing games and reading books, not advanced productivity
About the first Kindle Fire model, we wrote that it was actually better than most of the 7” Android tablets that we reviewed in early 2011, at least in terms of user experience, although it was definitely not a real a “killer” for larger and faster (and m...

The Fire HD 7" is a likable candidate in the race for best media tablet. The closed-OS mentality of Amazon's highly-modified version of Android may steer some users awry, but Prime users who enjoy the benefits of the thousands of TV shows and Movies that ...
If you're in the US, my answer would be an unequivocal YES. For $200, the Kindle Fire is a lot of tablet. The UI is very responsive, and with Amazon's tempting content options (Kindle lending library, videos, etc.), the Kindle Fire would probably be a joy...
