The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7" is a good-quality tablet, offering great performances, smooth and speedy operation, plus one of the best displays in the current mobile device market. However, it's held back by the restrictive OS that puts Amazon and its var...

Sturdy but lightweight, terrific screen, slimmed down UI, fast processor
No Google Play, no expandable memory
If you choose a Kindle tablet you probably don't want to bother with the sometimes confusing world of standard Android, and Amazon's simplified, iOS-style interpretation of the interface delivers that. Yes, you can add the Kindle app to any other Androi...
Nice, bright screen, Great Mayday support, Easy to use
Blue tint at the edges of screen, HDMI dropped, Disappointing app support
The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7 is a great, easy to use 7-inch tablet with some exciting and unique features you won't find on other Android tablets. It's just a shame about the app support....

The idea behind the Kindle Fire HDX is something that was tried before with early Android tablets: If you can't beat the competition on equal footing, why not flank them by outmuscling the competition for cheaper? It worked for Android against Apple, but ...

Superb spec and screen for the price, Great Amazon stores for movies, music, books, Mayday is unreal, priceless for tablet beginners
We want all of Google Play, please, Lovefilm is stream-only, Android is more customisable, iOS prettier
This is a real Nexus 7 alternative. As long as standing at the cutting edge of new apps isn't a big priority the HDX has you well and truly covered, from browsing to cloud storage to buying books, music and magazines. Bringing a new, pepped up Fire OS, z...
