To me though, its a significant upgrade. I like the hardware much better, its lighter, the buttons are much better placed and the entire thing is much faster. On the old one, if I swiped the carousel it would stutter a few times as it went through. The HDX is very smooth.

Added bonus: being able to download Prime videos for offline viewing!!
I have to say the HDX is one of the nicest tablets I have played with. I love the form factor and I love my Poetic case. I hated the Origami case! That has to be the worst idea for a case ever! It takes away the beauty of how light and thin the tablet is.

I still need to get a good sleeve for it to travel in though. Neither cases do much for protection and with the HDX being super thin it needs alot more protection than most tablets.

I upgraded from the original Kindle Fire so you can image how big of an upgrade this is for me!
