I love my Fire Phone. It makes a great eReader, music, Phone, and PIM. I do keep books block when I am not using them otherwise they all show up on my Carousel. All 12,000 of them.

I love the 6" size of the HD6. I held it next to a co-workers new iphone 6+ and the size is almost the same, with the HD6 being a little wider. Perfect size for small e-reader/video device, and it's smaller than my paperwhite2.

I was thinking of selling my 6 now as I'm very happy with the HDX but hubby likes the 6 (he plays games) so I've stripped it of everything but his games, plus he can read and watch prime on it so he's having it. Last edited by Josieb1; 02-23-2015 at 05:04 AM. |

This is my HDX screen. I think it's very good, the blue is certainly a lot less noticeable than I thought it would be. The screen is a white notepad (it's not as uneven in real life)

I've just got the 8GB version. I have no idea what I'd do with more storage. Like I mentioned in a previous post about the Fire HD 6 ... if it wasn't for Amazon Prime I wouldn't be interested in a tablet at all. The Fire just makes it easier to use Prime features for me. Maybe that view will change, I don't know. I did load the Nook Reader on it (from GetJar) and will probably load the Kobo software as well.

Yes, storing video locally is what really eats storage space. I download a lot of programmes from the BBC iPlayer, and an hour-long programme is typically around 350 MB, so 3 such programmes uses 1GB.

My girls and I each have 16 GB Fire HD 6 tablets. I can't see any of us needing more than that. They never got close to maxing out the 32 GB Nook HD+ that they have. Their 16 GB Nook HD tablets get the most use and they have never reported running out of space. And they are app hogs. |

Odd. The Nook software from GetJar installed without a hitch. But when I try to download the Kobo software, the Fire redirects me to the Amazon Market, where -- of course -- the app is not available. Was I just lucky to get the Nook download?

I think my usage would more closely match hers -- and I don't even know what Flipboard is. I do like and use EverNote. But, if it turns out that 8 GB is insuffient (I don't expect it) I'll just have to upgrade to a different Fire. Maybe Amazon will release a 6" HDX version, as TubeMonkey mentioned. I would definitely rather have a 6" device. I would even go smaller 5" or 5.5".

Probably my biggest issue is that I just don't understand all that the Fire will do. I'm just realizing that I can download Prime media. Until now I've looked at the Fire as an online "consumption machine" -- which is probably how I'll use it mostly anyhow.
