Another junk and money sucker from Amazon. It's an Amazon specified OS, not a Google OS tablet. Many features and functions are locked or cut off, useless. I got one, returned it.

Except ereader device, any other tablet used for reading is directly to damage your eyes without recover. Don't lie to people. Tablet is harmful critically to eyes, if for reading.

So it harms your eyes if you are reading on it, but not if you watch movies? Really, please backup such claims with evidence... And eye-strain ! = critical damage.

Although I don't need it, I'll more than likely get a 6". I like the size and it should prove to be a fun little toy to play with and drag around places. Just wish that Amazon was a bit more progressive - banana yellow would've been an awesome color choice ![]() |

The citron looks very banana-like, too me!
I am so psyched by these, I want to order one for each of daughters for Christmas. So here's hoping for a sale! |

The 6" will be a hit. This thing is targeted for kids (and monkey kids). It's very affordable, small in size, colorful choices, kid friendly software, tons of free content, etc. Amazon misstepped with the Fire Phone and overpriced the Voyage a bit; but not so with these Fires. These will sell. |

How old are they? $20 off would be a good sale. I'm waiting until BF before I pull the trigger; but pay attention to the stock. If these things start flying off the shelves and delivery times start getting longer, paying full price for a Christmas present is better than paying sale price for a New Years present. |

Well at any rate, I'll see how I like the one I get Oct 16, then I'll know if I should get one or two. (If I hate it, I'll give it to them). |

I don't need another tablet, since I already have more than I can use, plus my phone is a Note2 phablet, but the price and fun colors are getting to my head. If Amazon had made the front in the same color as the back, or at least white, I would not even hesitate.
Pink just doesn't look so pretty with a black bezel and black front. ![]() Monkey, maybe you could knit it a sock-suit! ![]() |
