I’ve only considered Amazon Fire tablets as a cheap tablet you might give to a child, relative to spending several hundred dollars on an iPad or higher end Android tablet. I never quite understood who is the target audience for these devices though. I was recently in an Amazon Books store and tried the higher end model. It felt very unresponsive and clunky. But I’ll assume Amazon continues to produce these because they help get people into the Prime ecosystem with the tight Amazon Video and Kindle integration?
The worst part on the device I tested was how it has the Kindle app built in. And the main screen was just ads labeled as “recommendations”.
- igetspam 5y agoSame. The version that came with the bumper and the two year warranty was good but the software was plagued with bugs. UX was bad but my kid didn't care, as long as mom and dat could make the apps work on car ride. She's almost four and has graduated to a chrome tablet. I hate the privacy problems but I like that she can ask Google questions using her voice. She dogs into some fun areas with her deep dives into "why?" The fire tablet is now lost in a drawer somewhere, having outlived its usefulness and no adult wanting it.
