  • Abstract:  What's the best size for a tablet? The 7-8-inch standard may be too big for a pocket, but it's lightweight and compact enough to fit in a bag or even the glove compartment of a car, and of course it can do pretty much everything the big boys can do, just ...

  • Abstract:  Amazon's Kindle-branded Fire was one of the first 7" devices to gain any traction in a market that was, at the time, heavily tilted towards 10" tablets. Its successor, the Kindle Fire HD, is the third and final of the 'big three' 7" tablets - substantiall...

  • The Amazon interface adds additional features to Android. Instead of access to the Google Play store, you get access to Amazon's own content shops, filled with apps, games, music, movies and TV Shows. As Android users will know, there's an awful lot of ju
  • As I mentioned above Amazon's own skin over the Android Operating System is also a bad thing as personally I find you cannot customise the device as much as some other tablets. Things like wallpapers, widgets and arranging your own desktop to suit your ne

  • Very cheap asking price, Easy to use, Acceptable performance
  • Battery life isn't great, Comes with ads, Outclassed by the Fire HD
  • If you're really focused on budget, and absolutely want the cheapest tablet possible, then priced at £129 you can't argue with the fact that the Kindle Fire is a great starter slate. It's also very easy to use, and suitable as a gentle introduction to ta...

  • Abstract:  Welcome to the world€s most expensive disposable razor. Amazon€s business model for its first all-streaming, all-dancing colour Kindle device is just like your triple-bladed shaver: sell the hardware at a loss, lock in your customer base and get rich on t...

  • The 7-inch screen on the Kindle Fire is impressive. It's sharp enough to do justice to web pages and photographs, and it also offers decent viewing angles. The Kindle Fire's web browser is more than capable, and everything responds at a decent pace. We managed to get 7-8 hours of runtime from a single charge. The Menus on the Kindle Fire are all laid out sensibly – the Fire runs a reskinned versi
  • That's unfortunately where the good news ends. For a start, the Kindle Fire will not be coming to the UK – and is on sale in the US only. The Kindle Fire is also less capable than the standard Kindle when it comes to use as a regular eReader, with the display proving harder on the eye. The 8GB of storage space is limited, and there are virtually no features – from a camera, to 3G, to a decent cho
  • The Amazon Kindle Fire is no Apple iPad replacement then, but it doesn't try to be. If you just want a way of immersing yourself in the Amazon eco-system, it's worth a look, but we suspect there will be more fully-featured models joining the Fire in th...

  • The Kindle Fire is a nice-looking tablet, and, at 200 bucks, Amazon is going to sell a shedload of them. Its flaws are well balanced by the low price, and it's a logical upgrade if you're already a Kindle owner and you want to buy videos, music and ap...

  • Abstract:  A low price is earning Amazon's Kindle Fire a lot of press. We take a fine-tooth comb to this new tablet and turn up some surprising results. While there's a lot to like, there are also plenty of quirks. We go over the good, the bad, and the ugly. When...

  • Lovely 7-inch screen, cracking video, smooth UI, solid build, low price
  • Slow browsing, light on hardware features
  • What the Fire lacks in flexibility, it makes up for in focus. Unbeatable value for media consumption but it won’t threaten the iPad ...
