Hello:
I have had many tablets including Apple, several other Kindles and I also have a Samsung Galaxy 4 Tablet. I have read other reviews about this Kindle 10. People have said it has a not so good pixel resolution and a slow drag on speed. These people were comparing it to the Samsung Galaxy Tablet. I did not like their reviews or opinions.
If you are trying to make a $500 tablet out of a $229 tablet than don't! Maybe you do not belong in the Amazon family! Just go buy your $500 tablet and be done with it!
I also read that Amazon decided to get into low end tablet production! What a sorry thing to say! I do not know about you, but if you are not rich like I am not, it gets very hard to keep paying $500-$1000 or more, every time a new gadget comes out! I am now on fixed income and it is very hard for me! So, with the Kindle 10 H.D. hitting the scene, I think it was a very nice thing that Amazon did! Amazon did not go into low end tablet business! Let me clear that up right now! Amazon cared about the rest of us! The poor and middle class! Not just for the rich! However, they are more than welcome in the Amazon gadget family if they care to partake!
Now, let me begin the review! Amazon created a budget friendly tablet! I got mine yesterday and I LOVE IT!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE It!
Also, I read that Amazon created this tablet just to get people to join Amazon Prime and that the only apps you can run are from Amazon's App Store!
I have Amazon Prime but I have never had anyone from Amazon ask me to join. I have never been pushed to buy anything from Amazon in any way! Also, you can side load other app stores on to Kindle 10 H.D. if you wish.
However, Amazon now offers App Store Under Ground, which offers over 20,000 free apps! Even the stuff inside the apps are free! So, why would you need another store!
20,000 free apps is awesome! Just awesome! That is why I purchased it! No other competitor that I know of offers that, yet! What is so neat about the under ground is: You know, you usually see the exact same apps on all app stores. However, with this app store under ground, you see tons of apps I have never seen! I even found 2 different apps, giving away tons of free books from the Kindle Store! The things you can do with this Kindle 10 tablet, leaves the competition behind! It really does!
I also read about complaints, that some people did not like the tabs. At the top of the tablet, there are words.Iike, Apps, Games, Books, Video, Music, etc.Why wouldn't anyone want to know where there stuff is, as easily as possible? For those who don't like it, it is called ORGANIZATION? Maybe you should try it sometime! They have also integrated a place for new stuff. They show you a blank space and tell you, "This is were your newest books will be" or "This is where your newest music will be".
As far as the size goes. The 10 inch size is wonderful! I love it! The tablet itself is rectangular instead of square. That is because it is a wide screen display. Now, I will admit that longer shape does make it awkward and a bit hard to hold. But, I would rather have the wide screen for the H.D. display. Again, This awkwardness can be rectified easily. You can buy a cover for it, that folds up in the back and makes the tablet stand up. Mine came with one of those. However, I purchased mine at H.S.N., so I could get a payment plan and the fold up case came with it.
If you do not want to purchase a cover, another great thing you can get is called, The Grand Stand. It is a big, flat thing with three sections. It folds into a stand, with a lip at the bottom, to keep stuff from falling down. You can use this tablet on it and many other uses. The Grand Stand can be purchased at Amazon. It is not real expensive.
Some people complain about the shiny plastic being used on the back of the device. Personally, This does not bother me at all. I will be looking at the front of my tablet, I will not be looking at the back.
The picture quality to me is beautiful, ABSOLUTELY beautiful, especially in H.D! If the picture does not seem bright enough, or is too bright, go to settings on your main screen and select display. You can adjust the brightness there.
Another thing I love about this tablet is, on your main screen ( Push the button in the middle, on the botom of your tablet, to get to the main screen.) The Amazon, Music App, Kindle Reading App and Video app are already there for you, so you don't have to down load them!
The only con I have is that this tablet only has Wi-Fi. It does not have mobile 4G Lite. But if you have a smart phone you can teather and share your mobile 4G Lite with other devices! So, you can use your phone's mobile connection with this tablet. If you want this tablet, but are hesitant, because you do not know how to tether, just type in how to share your smart phone connection with other devices online, on the internet and it will explain it.
I have very limited Wi-Fi, so I like to tether to use this tablet.
This is an absolutely awesome tablet! I highly recommend it to everyone!
