  • Overall, the Kindle Fire is an excellent tablet – one of the better ones out there right along with the Apple iPad 2. It does not have as many features as the iPad; however, in my opinion these were never products that were meant to compete against each o...

  • Performance and battery lifeUsually, I find myself keeping a close eye on the batter gauge when using an Android device. This was not so with the Kindle Fire. Thanks to a 4,400 mAh battery, the tablet could power through about two days of light use. As I...

  • Entry-level price, Excellent connectivity to Amazon services, Great screen quality w/ Gorilla Glass, Good speakers, Acceptable performance, Acceptable battery life
  • Little to no extra features, No expandability options, Screen can be too small for some, No haptic feedback, No dedicated Home/Back buttons, Glossy surface
  • Those wanting a complete Android experience with iOS-like performance out of the box are going to get neither with the Kindle Fire. Let's face it; the Amazon tablet has less games, less apps, less features, less screen real estate, less customization and...

  • Check out that price tag, Support for Adobe Flash Player, Solid web browser for basic web browsing, The wealth of Amazon content at your fingertips, Video streaming and book-borrowing for free with Prime membership, Great deals on apps in Amazon app store
  • No Camera, No Bluetooth, No HDMI, No SD card slot or expandable storage, Poor placement of power button and headphone jack, No free (or paid) 3G option as seen on some e-ink Kindles, Limited app selection compared to full Android market
  • If you're trying to decide between an iPad and the Kindle Fire, you've got several things to consider. The iPad peforms better, with better features. Of course, the iPad is significantly larger -- certainly too big to carry in your pocket. The iPad a...

  Published: 2011-12-19, review by: hardwaresecrets.com

  • There is a natural tendency to compare all tablets to the popular, ground-breaking iPad, but the Amazon Kindle Fire really can’t be compared to the iPad. It is an entirely different, less expensive category of tablet. At less than one half of the price...

  • Amazon Prime members get additional perk of 100,000+ free movies and TV shows plus Kindle Owners’ Lending Library for $79/year. More user-friendly than any other Android-based device on the market. Perfect for frequent Amazon shoppers, who are treated to a new free app each day.
  • Screen is too small for comfortably reading magazine content without zooming. Limited app selection, especially for Google lovers. Some popular apps blocked from installation at launch (Plex, Zinio, doubleTwist). Facebook “app” just a shortcut to mobile website.
  • While the iPad continues to offer the slickest tablet experience overall, we actually prefer the Kindle Fire for reading books, and the 7-inch form factor is a nice middle ground between smartphones and a 10-inch tablet. You’ll have to pry the iPad 2...

  • Abstract:  As it is, the Fire will make a somewhat cozy companion for reading newspapers and magazines in bed, or in a dimly lit living room -- anywhere there is low light, as the Fire's screen catches glare and reflections very easily. You can also enjoy movies on your nightstand, say, if you can find...
