★☆☆☆☆
I like my old HDX so much better.
Slow, slow, slow.... Amazon you disappoint. Add a rear facing camera, and an SD card, good points. All else FAIL. Changing screens is slower than my old 386pc on dial-up. Trying to find my already purchased apps takes a PI. Most apps are glitching and closing as I try to navigate screens. This is my 3rd Fire, but I might return it. Description says 8GB, this has 5.6 of which 1.47 is system files. That's less than my HDX. Overall, my birthday gift is a FAIL. Update:Returned it. Spent too much to hate it as much as I did. Latency is the main issue. It felt and looked cheap, like the $40 off brand Walmart ones, but I could live with that. It's the speed, 20+ seconds to wait on an app opening, 30-40 seconds for my book to open, and about the time it syncs with my reading point, the ereader app crashed, not once, not twice, but 3 times in a row. So I couldn't even read a book on a device that evolved from an ereader!
