I guess that's on me.

I got one too, although I got it before the black Friday sales when it was on sale at Best Buy for $33. I also have no real idea why I bought it but it turns out I use it quite a bit for simple games and old videos. I have a 64 gig card in it full of 1950's and 1960's TV shows in MP4 that I've ripped from DVDs and I watch them regularly.
The beauty of the cheap Fire is that it's disposable. It's always turned on and ready to use. I charge it every 2 or 3 days and it stays pretty well charged in between. I'll charge it more when I use it a lot.
I'm usually reluctant to leave tablets turned on because they die when the battery does but with this one I don't care. I think it's also helping me learn the value of not caring with my better tablets as well.
As tablets go this isn't much. It's not bad. Everything works as it should. It's interface is very clumsy. Although I paid to have ads turned off I still get some, mostly as notifications but also they're scattered around the tablet in various places. The screen isn't very good but it's okay. I sure wouldn't want to read on it but for games and videos it's fine. The sound isn't good but I have a bluetooth speaker. All in all I'm glad I got it. When it's battery dies I'll be glad of that too.
