If you want a tablet primarily to consume Amazon services and content, the Kindle Fire HDX is the way to go. Books, movies, magazines and music--it's all here and easier to use than on a PC with a web browser. Since there's no Amazon Prime Video for A...
Abstract: Sure, sure. The tablet market is teeming with options, but are you seriously going to buy Sony's Xperia Tablet Z? Or Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1, the 2014 edition? No, you're not. That's because the tablet market has conveniently divided itself into two di...

No Google means the company's communication services aren't there, The solid body is marred by the shiny plastic piece on the back and mushy buttons, If you're used to the stock Android experience, you might have trouble finding what you want, Accessing f
Beyond all the typical pablum that gets spouted about Android tablets, there's one overwhelming truth: they don't have a clear mission. Listen to the marketing pitches and you'll hear a picture of all-enabling devices, capable of every form of entertainme...

Movie- and TV-watching on the HDX is revelatory. Between the beautiful screen (if it's playing high-quality content, e.g. Prime or anything hi-res and native), the booming sound, and the hand-comfort afforded by the tablet's angled back, you'll wonder why
The Kindle Fire HDX's buttons are an improvement on the virtually invisible suckers from the Fire HD, but like we noted, they're still weird. And there are other odd quirks as well. The microUSB port where you'll plug in for charging is angled strangely,
With a starting price of $230, the HDX is set up squarely against the Nexus 7, and on most fronts the HDX wins. So even if the Play Store and stock Android is of singular importance to you, take a second to reconsider:Like watching things on your tablet...
