When I got the tablet, it came in a box similar to a VHS tape sleeve. Having read that it was six inches in size, it finally hits you when you compare it to the preceding kindles. Its the smallest of all of them and surprisingly a bit heavier and thicker than the last one. But if you can get by the "size of a paperback screen", its lightning fast, full of extras and the rear camera has excellent definition. The buttons are in new places as well as the power jack, takes a bit to get used to them. Just be aware that some stock pics are of a 7" model (and there are 3 different 7" models fyi). The lower price reflects this unit very well, and with the screen resolution and fast processor it is a good value. Eight hours of battery life is pretty good, might get more if the battery saver is turned on. Read full review

Who would have thought that Amazon would design a tablet without a memory expansion slot? Exactly who would want a tablet limited to 8 gigabytes? A decent computer has 8 gigabytes just of RAM. Be careful what you buy.

Other than the Amazon Fire ads on my unit, which are intrusive, this 6" Fire meets a variety of needs. Silk is a snappy browser. And multiple browsing windows/multitasking works fine. Though a little thick, tablet fits looser men's shirt and jeans pockets (though front jeans pocket carry is a bit too much for sitting). This was a major reason for going with this now discontinued size. It has replaced my Surface RT as my casual, go-to browsing device. Being portable and wifi accessible, it allows me to function well while tethered to older, smaller smartphones, enabling me to side-step the race to ever larger smartphone screens. Downside is it does not have access to Google Play, but the Amazon approved apps cover most of my needs at present. Kindle reading and Amazon Prime video watching are both very good, as might be expected.Read full review

When updated to the latest Fire OS and then "tweaked" a little to have Google Play Store running on it, this is a VERY nice little portable device. I have used it to download Netflix content onto and take it with me on planes - it has Bluetooth and a headphone jack, and if you add a cover/stand, it is the perfect size to take to watch movies on the plane with. The screen is outstanding! The only drawback would be that there is no micro SD slot, so you are limited to the ~14G of storage for apps and data, but if you manage that well, it's a very convenient and capable piece of gear. I have bought several for family members, and they all love them!

Perfect size little tablet! Fits in your pocketbook or coat pocket. Use for reading books and also for a tablet. Fast and 'zippy'. Good battery life. I do not know about games as as I do not play games but it does get all the basic apps plus more. You can watch reviews on You Tube to learn more about that. ( It uses a Silk Browser and does not have Google Play Store.) There are a lot of nice covers and cases that fit it online at Amazon. The screen is clear and bright and easy to read.
