Meanwhile, if what you want is a thing that will let you read ebooks and comics while maximizing value per dollar, I recommend Amazon's Kindle Fire HD10. For just over $100 when it's on sale (several times per year), you get a perfectly serviceable Android tablet with a 10.1" 1900x1200 full color screen, a WiFi connection, some storage, and enough processor and memory to run a comic-book reader, an ebook-reader, a web browser to control your music system, and Netflix if for some reason you really want to watch on a tiny portable screen. Add a bluetooth remote control and a stand that mounts to your headboard, and you have the perfect device for reading in bed even when you've got a fever and have difficulty turning pages.
As a gaming device, terrible. As a device to take around the world, mediocre -- it's not built particularly well. As a device to entertain yourself with in one spot, pretty much optimal right now.
- michaelmrose 5y agoI bought the earlier edition and I couldn't say enough bad things about it. - interface wasn't snappy - screen was merely ok - can't use Google apps - can't use third party home screen apps and the Amazon one is the worst one ever created for Android - hassle to root
- dsr_ 5y agoI agree on all points. The newer one bypasses most, possibly all of them.
- yencabulator 5y ago> read ebooks [...] Kindle Fire HD10 Kindle Paperwhite is a much better book reading experience, IMHO. (For comics, a large non-eInk tablet is probably better. The experience of panning around on small slowly-updating screen was not good for me, and you probably want colors too for comics.)
