The low price isn't worth the headache.
If you want to bash your brians in every few weeks, this is the tablet for you. We own 4 of these Fire Kids with Freetime. My biggest issue is managing storage. See, all the Freetime apps are not preinstalled. They're in the Freetime cloud. Your kids will have the luxury of clicking on the apps to open them, but they are actually installing them on the device. Within a couple weeks your 12 GB (because 4 GB are taken by Amazon) are gone. Then the fun starts. You'll get repeated notifications saying storage is low. The tablet slows down and some apps won't even run. The truly exciting part begins. You have a notification that says tap here to manage storage. So you tap. Then you pick you child's profile. Then you see they've maxed out the application storage, the you click on application to see which apps are taking up the most space. Now the brain bashing begins... because you select the app to uninstall and the uninstall tab is block by AMAZON. Guess they dont want me to uninstall stuff. All the apps that my child has installed are blacked out. So you head over to the Freetime app. Open the profile and look through hundreds and hundreds of apps for the app that has a CHECK MARK on it. This means it's installed. Then you long press on the app, and press "remove from device" and watch in amazement as NOTHONG HAPPENS. Nothing. Now you're wondering if you should smash the crap out this thing or WIPE THE ENTIRE TABLET. Whether you smash it or wipe it, you'll be setting up a new one in now time at all. And then a few weeks later, you get to do it all over again. So don't do it....save your self some agony and buy a regular Android tablet.
