Whats a better buy kindle fire or nook tablet?
Hello Kat, first of all there's no content advantage of Kindle - that's a myth. Nook has to offer the same things that Kindle has and more B&N ebook store has more content than Amazon's with 2.5 million paid books and 2 million free public domain ones. Amazon prime is worthless - for $79 you get 13,000 movies and 10,000 books are included while Netflix has millions of movies and B&N ebook store has millions of books (and over 2.5 million free ones). Also it's worth mentioning that if you walk in with any Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you'll get tech support and you’re allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi. Nook Tablet is the best - it's been getting rave pro reviews on the web and it is the best device in it's class - much better than Kindle Fire. It's got Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life (30% beter), the best non-glare laminated screen (visibly noticable difference in side by side tests in video playback and eBooks reading), double the RAM and space for apps/photos/movies, microSD slot (not on Kindle) and a microphone for Skype (not on Kindle), and much zippier performance during video playback and apps usage than choppy/laggy act of Kindle Fire according to many user reviews. Also, it's been reported that many Kindle Fire units have faulty Wi-Fi and people have a lot of issues connecting to internet according to many user reviews. Amazon's own web site has hundreds (almost 1400 now) of reviews of Kindle Fire's new owners that gave it 1 or 2 star reviews because of choppy/laggy experience they got from this underpowered device. Other issues are that it runs hot to touch, video playback is jerky, touch screen is not responsive and it takes 2-3 touches to register, power button placement is very poor and is prone to accidental power off, all the hype of Silk browser is a myth where the browsing is actually slower than on other Android tablets, etc. Sample pro review below: Laptop Mag Whether it’s the bigger amount of RAM or just more mature software, the Nook Tablet feels a lot faster than the Fire. Where the Fire often seems sluggish and, on our tests, often failed to respond to our taps until we hit an icon two or three times, the Nook Tablet was always smooth and responsive.
Should I buy an Amazon Fire Tablet instead of Kindle?
I have a couple of editions of the older Kindle Fire HD ( tablet). They are a great inexpensive tablet. I have found all of the Amazon devices to be sturdy. No battery problems, I drop them a lot and they are fine. I don't like it for sitting down to read a book because my eyes are kinda funky and the reflections and glare get to me.I also have a Kindle Paperwhite e-reader. If you do a lot of reading this is well worth the price for the glare free reading in any light.Here is the comparison page for all the Amazon Fire tablets, they were called Kindle Fire but the new name makes for less confusion with Kindle e-readers.https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Fi...This is the comparison page for all the e-readers, in the middle of the product page:Kindle Voyage E-reader – Amazon Official Site

What do you think of the new Kindle Fire HDX?
I am assuming that you are asking about the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. This is the most expensive 4th Generation Fire Tablet from Amazon. It is a good device, with features at par with the rival tablets, if not better. Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is your way to go If you are on a budget and want best bang for buck.It does have some flaws here and there, but overall it provides best value with features like sharp 1080p display, awesome sound quality (as compared to other tablet or portable device) and you get a storage of 64 GB well under a budget of 500 bucks, whereas, the iPad will cost you around 500 bucks for just 16 GB. And it has dual camera with HD quality recording and photo taking capability. It is by far the most powerful tablet from Amazon with a quad core processor running at 2.5 GHz and 2GB RAM. The downside is that you do not have direct access to Google Play Store. If you want to install any application from Google Play, then you have to side-load them to your device. Fortunately, that is a pretty easy process. The previous 3rd generation Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is still available right now at a cheaper price, and it can be a good bargain too if you have a lower budget.

Is the kindle fire worth it?
Hi Sarah, Kindle Fire is OK for video playback, web browsing, and apps. However, it's pretty bad for reading (very reflective screen with no coating), and not the best for anything else with choppy video playback and slow apps load. For only $50 more, you can get Nook Tablet - it's performance beats Kindle Fire in all pro reviews specifically on video playback, the screen quality, and how fast apps load. Reported issues with Fire are it runs hot to touch, video playback is jerky, touch screen is not responsive and it takes 2-3 touches to register, power button placement is very poor and is prone to accidental power off, all the hype of Silk browser is a myth where the browsing is actually slower than on other Android tablets, etc. Nook Tablet has Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life (30% better), the best non-glare laminated screen (visibly noticeable difference in side by side tests in video playback and EBooks reading), double the RAM and space for apps/photos/movies, microSD slot (not on Kindle) and a microphone for Skype (not on Kindle or Color), and much zippier performance during video playback and apps usage than choppy/laggy act of Kindle Fire according to many user reviews.

Can I use the Amazon Fire Tablet in India?
Huh, of-course you can use it in India. Amazon Fire Tablet is just a piece of hardware that happens to have Fire OS and other applications installed. It can perfectly work anywhere across the world, but if you may ask “if it will work on the moon?”, I would probably say that “It won’t work”. But I would definitely encourage you to try using it on the moon and review about it on Amazon. It might be helpful for other Fire Tablet users who might need to use their Fire Tablet on the moon.
What do you think of the Amazon Fire tablets?
Thanks for the A2A. Amazon Fire tablets? I bought one for myself one time. They are a great tablet for the price. Of course they run an Amazon form of Android so they don't have the Google Play store on them. But I found out that you can jailbreak them and put the Google Play store on them. So I bought one for that sole purpose. I got the Google Play store installed and downloaded other apps from the Play store. How did I do it? I followed the instructions on a website called How-to-Geek. If you want to know how to do that just Google “install Google Play store on Amazon Fire tablet”.
