I love it. I can read something on the device and do the web based reference research I often need to do to support the reading, i.e., definitions, explanations of terms, etc, all on the same device. No more fumbling through large dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc. It's revolutionary!

I bought this item looking for something to read E-books on as I didn't like the idea of taking my books with me everywhere.. The fact remains this item is so horrible and borderline broken I decided to let it be my first review so nobody else ever makes the same mistake I did.. AD's on the home page.. Not so bad I guess, I mean sure you want me to play games, but jeez.. maybe don't spam me with ads on a product I purchased continually every time I turn the product on.. Don't try to connect this beast to your PC for anything other then charging.. Such as easily moving your books, music or anything else, because it's flat out broken.. As in your computer will just show a massive empty file in the Fire's directory, and you can't move, delete or do anything else with the files on your tablet.. You can use the archaic email files to your kindle account.. It works about 45% of the time.. so enjoy sending yourself the same book, or picture or song over and over and over again until maybe eventually it'll show up on your kindle.. (probably not) Frozen screen.. Yep, the tablet will lock it's screen for no reason.. This happens atleast once or twice a day. It takes you continually turning on and back off the device.... OR continually pressing random spots on your table and then with a hope and a pray it'll let you turn it back on.. Did I mention how SLOW this tablet is.. When I say slow I mean .. I open my kindle reader and it takes nearly 20 seconds to open.. we're talking AOL dial up type of slow connection to open an app with about 8 books on it.. jeez.. Planning to return this horrible product and getting something else.. anything else, this isn't even as good as those cheapo tablets phone carriers were trying to hock on people a few years back.. in fact I'm pretty sure those were better then this..

Got this for my wife, she had one just like it and loved it and then wore it out. Shopping on Adorama was easy and got the item in quickly. I would recommend the store to all my friends.

Calling and Messaging
Ask Alexa to call almost any local number, message your contacts or video call friends and family who have a Fire tablet, Echo Spot, Echo Show or have installed the iOS or Android Alexa App. You can also instantly connect with family and friends by asking Alexa to drop in on enabled Echo devices. For example, you can drop in to ask what time dinner will be ready, see the baby's nursery or check in with a close relative.
Voice control your smart home
Alexa works with compatible devices such as smart cameras, lights, switches, thermostats and cooking tools from Arlo, Philips Hue, TP-Link, Ecobee, Rachio, GE Appliances and more.
