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
You might not know where to start.You won’t have such worries with the Amazon Kindle Fire HD
It’s positively foolproof. Set up with your Amazon account when you order 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

Great build quality, Good display, Solid performance, Above average battery life
No cellular connectivity, Awkward placement of power button
Amazon has priced the Kindle Fire HD at Rs. 15,999 that puts it directly in competition with the likes of Google's Nexus 7 and Asus's FonePad that carry identical price tags. All three tablets sport similar specs, but bring something different to the tabl...
Sharp and crisp 7-inch display, Good design and form factor, Intuitive Interface wrapped around Android, Unmatched e-book library, Amazon App Store is clean in terms of quality, Pre-registered with your Kindle account
Android fans will be disappointed, Every opened item adds to carousel, App Store still has some missing links, Power and volume keys are not designed very well
Before anyone gets confused and starts comparing this with the likes of the Google Nexus 7 and the other Android tablets out there, it is imperative to specify that this tablet is made to work in the Amazon ecosystem. While it may be Android at the very b...
Crisp screen, Excellent speakers, Good performance, Good battery backup, Excellent voice narrator, Access to huge book store.
Expensive, Doesn't support Google Play Store (only Amazon Appstore), Limited video format support, No 3G (only WiFi)
