    Most people that buy it are not looking for an iPad. They pick it up when Amazon has special offers. Without trade-in, That's $149, $229. It's mainly a device for consuming content , and its great for those tied into Amazon's ecosystem. It's a beautiful redesign: sleek, with a better build quality, beautiful screen. Sound is pretty. As for the headphone jack, Amazon, was just following the trend. An adapter is quite affordable. No we shouldn't have to do that. But other technology is is abandoning the head jack in favor of just one USB-C jack. Anyway, most people get a lot of bang for their buck, because Amazon tablets can be used for a very long time.

      I always thought a headphone jack was a good selling point. But I honestly can't remember the last time I've actually used one.

      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

    I bought me a HD 8 2 years ago, and I still am rocking with it. If I was to follow reviewers about Amazon tablets being under powered I would have missed out on how awesome Amazon experience is. I upgraded to no ads, and side loaded the playstore. It's been stellar from ever since just the same. Camera is crappy, but, add more light, you would be pleasantly surprised. I definitely love the design of the HD 11, and glad it has a more powerful CPU. Waiting for holiday sale or special discounts, cause I would definitely rock the HD 11.

      "support" can be put in quotes. It's mainly just Amazon updating their system apps (e.g. Amazon, Prime Video, Amazon Music, etc) and then patching or breaking ways people install custom roms or install stuff like the Google Play Store on their devices.

      @@VirtualBilly I would not recommend the ONN, if the Amazon Fire tablets aren’t your preference. In my experience, aside from the out of the box update, you’re not going to get much support past the launch of the device and 6 months out. I’d actually recommend a Samsung A9 or a Lenovo over an ONN. They’re the same price, if not cheaper, with far better performance and software support.

      The math is actually correct if you think of the $50 from selling the old device like a trade in discount. Did this person actually obtain the device on Prime for $70. No. But, the $40 in discounts plus the money received for selling the older fire tablet equals $90.
      149 x 1.06 = 157.94
      Let's just round that up to $160
      160 - 90 = 70

    I just bought the 10 (13 gen), and a lot of what you say here holds true for the 10. I say it is basically a Kindle with add-ons. As a Kindle reader it is better than the Paperwhite for less money. It is just the right size for reading. The Amazon App Store offerings suck however. I sideloaded the google play store and loaded apps that I had already paid for from the Play Store that Amazon doesn't have. The main reason I bought a Fire was that it is the only device that Amazon allows to have text-to-speech functionality. With the size of the screen it is great for sharing pictures that I have taken on my S22 Ultra. (screen on the phone is too small, and PC's are too immobile.) Just so long as you accept that these aren't I-pads (or even budget Samsungs) you should be happy. (I got mine for less than $100 which is a great deal)

      Lol yes I hate how they like to compare everything to a 800 to 1000 ipad and say it's not as great as a ipad

    All Amazon tablets are poor quality, underpowered pieces of crap.

    another crappy e-waste tablet that tries to look good and that's where all the money goes, i'd rather have the cheapest looking tablet with good ram and a good chip. This thing is going to seem fast until a few months later.

    I don’t care what anyone says. No willing and morally sane person is going to buy an AMAZON FIRE TABLET for their OWN ENJOYMENT.
    I despise this brand, line, and series of tech with my being. Don’t even get me started with Google Play Store, let alone GOOGLE.

      It's; actually pretty decent
      Google play sotr is shady and Google steals your oney though, they refise to refund for apps that do not deliver what they promise, they let apps stay up when the developer disappears and there is on way to ger your money back, also google has been both deliberatley and accidentally destroying the internet for th epast 12 years
      their whole ecosystem is a rapidly devolving dumpster fire and they make garbage devices with piss poor TDP and horrific battr drain issues

    I don’t think Amazon has topped their best-ever tablet, at least if we rate “best-ever” according to its time. At the time the Kindle Fire DX 7 was released about a decade ago, I remember some reviewers saying it was the best available small tablet from anyone other than Apple. My mother was heavily invested in the Kindle ecosystem and bought one, so I got to play with it a bit. It had an absolutely gorgeous display with a very high pixel density and superb color performance. However it was soon discontinued and Amazon stopped offering anything with a retina-class display, except maybe for that ridiculous phone they released later.
