Extremely thin and light, Excellent display, Great battery life
No access to Google Play Store, Fire OS limited compared to Android, No expandable memory
Amazon's 8.9" Kindle Fire HDX boasts a stunningly thin and light design and has an excellent screen, but the lack of access to Google's Play Store means there's a heavy reliance on Amazon's limited apps...

Buying a tablet as a consumption device is meant to be a full-service experience. You're meant to have amazing hardware (check), access to great apps (check), great books and magazines (check), and a top collection of music, TV and video content (massive...
Mayday live assist, Great display, Good battery life, Excellent design
Heavy on Amazon services, Lack of Android apps, Poor camera, Browser doesn't support Flash
If you want a solid and powerful multimedia tablet that is essentially a gateway to all things Amazon, this is your tablet. But if you're looking for something with more flexibility and better hardware, you're better off buying an iPad Air. The only thin...

the 7-inch before it, the 8.9 is one solid tablet. And goddamn is it light. Did we mention it's light. It's light,
One of our main beefs with the 7-inch HDX (which still persists in the 8.9 version) is the lack of Google apps. Admittedly thATT#39;s not so much a flaw as it is a choice we're not exactly fond of. But it's a choice that comes with a lot of consequences. The
Probably not, or at least not yet. At $380 (16GB, special offers) the 8.9 is a steal versus the comparable $500 iPad Air; the 8.9 is cheaper, lighter, has a better screen, and is almost as big. But hold on. Hooooold on.The 8.9 is not a slam dunk against t...
