Abstract: I like to have a tablet on each mobile platform to keep up with what's new. That leads me to buy too many gadgets, but I only buy those I find to be outstanding. That was the case with the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 from Amazon. This tablet is so good it has rep...

If you are new to tablets and smarter ereaders you will not do better than the Kindle Fire HDX. It's thin, fast, light, powerful, and everything else you need in a device. Sure, the software could use some improvement here and there but, generally speakin...

Excellent screen, Mayday works as advertised, Slick, portable design
Tied into Amazon architecture, Adverts
Amazon's Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is a solid all-round tablet in terms of specs and hardware, boasting one of the best screens around and plenty of power. Of course, whether you should buy it or not depends on your love for Amazon. If you regularly buy bo...

Abstract: Two years ago, Amazon's first Kindle Fire was a popular tablet. But let's be honest: apart from a tempting price tag, it didn't really hold a candle to higher-end rivals like the iPad. Fast-forward to today, and Amazon has managed to merge budget pricing ...

Abstract: Amazon's new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 tablet may look the same on the outside as last year's model, but look under the hood and it's got a new engine, an overhauled Wi-Fi transmission system, some audio tweaks, and an updated operating system.That's right, the...
The Kindle Fire HDX is definitely a nice device, but remember it's not for everyone. I really wish it was, because specs like this and hardware like this for under $400 is a great deal. However, if you are locked into Amazon's ecosystem and if you're an...

Amazon certainly improved its Kindle Fire tablets with the release of the Kindle Fire HDX, and in the case of the 8.9-inch version, it's now able to offer an experience that can easily rival its competitors and even larger tablets.With that said, we feel...
The Fire HDX is generally very good at what it sets out to do. If your primary interest in a Kindle is in using apps, playing games, watching movies, and reading, this really is an excellent tablet for the money. You're getting incredible hardware - I ...
Slim, light, and sturdy, Bright, sharp screen, Very long battery life, Mayday 24/7 tech support is helpful, Well-done integration with Amazon ecosystem
Lock-screen ads cost extra to remove, No HDMI port or MicroSD card slot, Amazon Appstore is about a tenth the size of Google Play, Power and volume buttons poorly located
The 8.9-inch Fire HDX is easy to use and packs super hardware: It's light, with a very high-res screen and excellent battery life. Still, the tablet, like earlier Fires, will hold the most appeal for frequent Amazon customers. ...
