Amazon made a cheap tablet...
This is the third Kindle I have purchased. I still have my original reader from when they first came out, Its a wonderful device. I also bought one of the first Fire Tablets that came out, that was a very functional device. It was easy to read, movies were fun to watch and it was very functional. The New Fire 10.1 is disappointing. I agree with the reviews out there that Amazon missed the mark on this device. Its pretty to look at when not turned on, but turn it on and that is where the disappointment starts. The device doesn't have enough pixels to make for a sharp image. The device sounds awesome on the amazon site, but, that is where it stopped. There is not enough video memory on the tablet to make it useful and the processor lacks speed to make movies flow. I tried one movie on the Fire today after receiving it, it was making me dizzy. It was so out of focus from the action that I had to turn to off. The movie was on prime. Also, the Fire is for reading of Kindle books, the lettering is fuzzy because the pixel density is not there. It makes ones eyes tired reading , that should not happen Amazon. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Really Amazon? This is the best you guys can offer? I know you went for a cheap tablet, but really? I guess I will spend the extra money and get a full use tablet. I guess you really do get what you pay for.
