First off, I'll say that this is a great device. The screen is EXCELLENT and displays everything clearly and colors are bright and vivid. Nothing comes through looking faded so for that alone it's a great device. It's great as a reader. I rate it a 3 because I bought this without doing enough research on the device apparently. Amazon has customized the life out of the Kindle Fire. This device runs an Android software but because of Amazon's customization, you don't get access to the Google Play store which has better and more apps than Amazon's store. That may not sound like a big deal but at some point, depending on what you use the device for, you may need one of the apps that Amazon's store won't provide. There is a way to get access to the Google Play store but doing so will void your warranty on the device. I also dislike the internet browser on the Kindle Fire. Another thing that bothered me is that Adobe no longer offers a version of Flash player for the software that the Kindle Fire runs which means that a lot of the internet video you intend to watch will not play on the Fire. Amazon's store does have apps that supposedly replace Flash Player but from all the reviews I've seen, they don't work. My best advice for anyone looking at the Kindle Fire is to maybe check out another Android device such as the Google Nexus. That received great reviews and it will more than likely give you the access you desire to Google's app store.Read full review
This is a great joy to own and use. Thanks Amazon for creating such a fully functional, fast, and responsive tablet. I use it for my mobile presentations, it hooks up with an added HDMI cable to an HD television, for picture perfect viewing. And, it carries all of my Kindle Library in it. I just love the ATT cell option, because I can hook up to broadband wireless where ever ATT has connections (almost everywhere!). The wireless and bluetooth connections are also fast and smooth. I have flashed older tablets, and maxed out their capacity in the past, and this machine does not even look close to needing to change its canned operating system, nor does it even look near capacity. I am quite happy with this machine. So, what are you waiting for, buy one now and experience it all for yourself.Read full review
The Fire HD 8.9" is second only to the HDX 8.9" in terms of look, feel, and functionality. None of the newer tablets come close to the quality. Works great for music, books, magazines, games, apps, movies/videos, social media. The battery lasts about 4 hours when playing games with wi-fi turned on and screen set to high brightness.

Kindle fire 8.9 is my favorite toy.... I never go a day without using it. The picture is crystal clear and the sound amazing. I love connecting it to my flat screen with the HDMI cable and watching my favorite movie. Prime is a must have along with the Kindle. It is an extra to buy ($59.00) per year but with it you get hours of free movies and television shows. It does have to be charged. I do that while I sleep and then its ready in the morning. I do wish the charge would last longer though.
