The 6" would make a great tablet for younger kids. Just enable FreeTime, then set the content and screen time limits.

Agreed, that was one of the main reasons I didn't upgrade last year, it was hard giving up my 32gb for an hdx that had features that I was just not going to use. They should have 16 and 32, though I still do not understand why only the 32 in the hdx, don't they know how much space audibles take up?? Especially since they are touting their immersive reading so much.

Yeah that would do it!! I have already sent an email to my sister for her to get one for her grand-daughter since she always complaining about her dropping her ipad.

I added more to the post. It's a really great gift for kids because it has more than just regular parental control.

At least they make a 16GB option, and it is only $20 more. I really like the 7" Tab 4, from Samsung, but they only offer it in 8GB and then the OS takes up so damn much space. There is less than 5GB available to the user.

Agreed. The people who can get by on 8GB on a multimedia tablet is shrinking by the day. Last edited by Anthem; 09-18-2014 at 01:02 PM. |

That makes sense! I'd go with 6 if the speakers weren't mono as I want one for music more than anything.

Well the Fire I listed on Amazon already sold, so I pre-ordered the 6" tablet right away. If I hate it (the size) I'll return it. No way to know til I have it in hand.
Ooops. Had to cancel and re-order. Why settle for black? I got the blue. Last edited by booklover6; 09-18-2014 at 01:07 PM. |

Though I have 2 tablets with 8 gig storage, that really limits their use. I may eventually upgrade due to that fact alone. Last edited by conan50; 09-18-2014 at 01:18 PM. |

Where does it say mono? Under tech specs it says for the HD6
3.5 mm stereo jack and integrated speaker with Dolby Digital Plus audio engine My girls are going to love the cameras! |
