I would hope an iDevice would provide a better experience than a Fire! But that said, some of us have beer budgets and I don’t see the point of saying that a Fire tablet isn’t as good as an iPad. I think the Fire tablets are a terrific value, especially when you can catch them on sale and get a deal on a trade-in, also. I have the latest Fire HD 8 and while I prefer my Kobos for reading, I’m frequently lazy and can’t be bothered when I need to sideload something first. It’s fine. The one issue I’ve run into with Fire tablets is that they tend to get slow as they age. At that point, it’s worth trading in on the latest iteration.
Definitely take the two minutes or so necessary to add Google Play to the device.
