one of the HDX 8.9 I tracked on ebay just ended at £99. i was put off by the description saying 1Gb RAM - should be 2Gb- and wondered if some had been removed,, so I passed on that.
more googling & messing with measuring tape established that I hold tablets about 14 inches from eyes, for video, and that range I probably can't distinguish 720p from 1080p on an 8 inch screen...
The difference of screen resolution would probably something I would notice, since I would hold the tablet a bit closer. I have an Ipad Air and I think the hdx screen looks crisper in videos. I hope it keeps working well for a few more years. The hdx7 is a year older and still works like new. I will miss these tablets. Right now I don't need to replace them, but the $59 Black Friday Sale is a tempting deal.
