I don't have the option to update. I had it for like half a day as an option in notification, but I wanted to wait. That was a couple of weeks ago. Then it just disappeared and has't come back yet.

I have seen the 2013 Nexus a few times now on Woot.com as a refurb for like $120. Its a really great tablet.

But like Blossom said, the fonts actually look better on the fire 6 than on the Nexus which is really surprising to me.

You can check for the system updates in settings. I had the same notification two weeks ago but then it went away and then yesterday I got a new one saying it was downloaded and ask if I wanted to install.

I agree. Battery drain seems faster than I am used to on my other Fires, iPads and Nook HD. It dropped from 15% to 5% since yesterday with no use.

I was waiting for a good sale on the Nexus 7 for BF but none appeared and instead stores have discontinued it. My limit is about $130 so my choices were very limited this year.

I've got a fire HD 6 and I've got a bit of an issue with 1Market, I'd appreciate some advice please.

Where possible I get the app from the Amazon App Store, mainly free apps as I plan not to actually spend money on Amazon apps. Those apps seem to get an update on 1Market before Amazon so I keep getting notifications to install updates from apps not bought from 1Market, and when I try to install the updates (as its hard to know who the notification is coming from) they keep failing, then I get more notifications.

It's really annoying and I'm getting tempted simply to uninstall 1Market now and side load the apk for any app I need that's not on Amazon from my Asus.

What's the best way to deal with this?

Amazon had the 16GB version on sale for $150 on Cyber Monday during a lightning deal. I don't recall seeing it at a lower price during Black Friday.

I don't use 1Market. I sideload free apps from Google Play using a APK Downloader site or one of my other tablets. Amazon will say the app needs manual update sometimes but I ignore that.

Yeah same here huge drains when in standby never seen this on a tablet. It seems WiFi off does not help at all.

It's well worth the full price. I love my tablet and yes I would buy one again in a heartbeat.

Ditto. Plus I am not confident at all in 1Market.

Yes you can uninstall 1Market. If you need something from it, just install it again.

Yes, the Nexus 7 (2013) Is well worth the extra money. It is top of the line. I got mine for $179, I believe. More than I normally like to spend, but in this case, I have never regretted it.

Thank you everyone. I've uninstalled 1Market and will sideload any apps that are missing using my ASUS from Google Play
