4/5 The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX is an absolutely fantastic tablet, but it would be even better if you could access Google Play and get Google service applications like YouTube. It's very portable, thanks to its super lightweight design and thin profi...

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...

Tacksharp, vibrant screen. Superb battery life. Topnotch stereo speakers. An immersive headphone experience with Dolby Atmos. Great integration with Amazon services. Unlimited cloud storage for Amazon content makes the 16GB version doable. 24/7 video help
App ecosystem lags behind iOS and Android, and Google apps could fill in big gaps. The best deal is an 16GB version with lockscreen ads, but the an adfree 32GB HDX jumps up to 4. Doesn't look any different than the last one. Firefly doesn't always work
Great display, Decent sound quality, Grippy and light chassis, Fast WLAN, Good camera pictures
No storage expansion, Unreliable GPS module, Only 12 months warranty, Temperatures a bit too high

Lock-screen ads cost extra to remove, No MicroSD card slot, Amazon Appstore remains a fraction of the size of Google Play, Power and volume-button location
This latest-gen Fire strikes a satisfying balance between display size and weight. Family-friendly features and tight integration with Amazon's store make it a good pick for Amazon-hopping families. Read More…...
Super-sharp screen, 4G support, Slim and very light

As a media and all-round entertainment machine, the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is a solid rival for the iPad Air 2. However, there is a caveat, and that's the tablet's deep roots in Amazon's ecosystem. Prime members will delight in the Instant Video integ...
Abstract: Amazon has made tablet buying incredibly easy. It's no longer necessary to give up an entire paycheck for an overpriced iPad just to have good performance and screen quality. Amazon's Fire HDX lineup isn't just a cheaper alternative, it's a superior produ...
