It IS great, if you use it for its intended purpose. It is not an IPad (I have one). It is not a game machine. It is.a Kindle reader that can also do other stuff. It has a memory card, so you can load it up with books, movies, and music. If you are away from WiFi or are on a plane for Manila you will still never run out of things to see, hear, or do.

Hi, So i'm looking to maybe purchase one for my mother. Here eyesight is poor, so when shes in bed she liked to watch some youtube. Would you suggest it? Pretty much that's all I need it for? Also, is she able to read news articles? Thanks :)...P.S. I did not watch the video. I rather ask somebody directly.

@@psychicsara watching KZfaq on my Fire tablet right now! There is an app that takes you to the KZfaq web site. Works fine if you are just consuming media. Not so great for creating content. Not sure why you feel that it’s garbage. I have an iPad Air and an iPad Mini, and my Fire tab is just as good for watching movies or reading books. With it’s ear phone jack it is even better for music. Not so great for games and work, but that is not what it is for.

The questions I have are how much storage does the OS itself take up, and also does it allow you to install apps to external storage? Seeing as they only come with 16-32GB of storage those are pretty important factors to consider.
@Keither754 Жыл бұрын
After installing the initial software update that the device needed out-of-the-box, I only had somewhere between 10 and 11 GB left (closer to 10GB I think) of available space on the 16GB model. Then I immediately put a 32GB MicroSD card and my storage problems were solved lol

Everything was set up to allow anything that could be on SD, move to SD, but nothing else worked. I don't store anything but I can download a book or film from my local library. Hope this helps.

Awful, can't upload photo from fire 7 tabet to Facebook. I took a picture with my Fire 7 tablet and then tried to upload it to facebook, it will not do it. I go to facebook on my fire 7 tablet. I click to post a photo. Two options open, camera or brows. I choose brows. My pictures open I hold down on picture I want to upload. Picture turns blue with a check mark over it. And that is it, no other options to upload image. I clicked on the upper right menu and it only gives two options 1-Sort by 2-Select all And that is it, no other options. Frustrating that it can't do a simple thing like post a photo from fire 7 tablet to facebook.

True. There is a new 8 coming out soon. But the screen resolution and size of the 7 can still be a bit of an issue. I like my 7, because it is far lighter and more portable. And costs less to replace if it gets stolen or broken. But watching movies on the 8 is better. As is reading or browsing if you are over 60, like me. They are both dirt cheap when on sale. Just get both!

I have a 3rd gen but I've had port problems for about a year. Tried every "fix" on YT but none worked. This week couldn't get it to charge by any means, and the old cables are getting harder to find locally, so I'm looking to replace. I need the lightest tablet bc my ipads are now too heavy to hold (bad hands). Otherwise I like the fire 7. I've used it every day for some years (don't expect newer models to do that!). The thing I like best about my kindle is that it updates auto, you never have to waste time checking it. Or waiting on it. Also, I don't want to play w dozens of changes like my phones. It should be a useful device, not something that takes all your time. It should just do what it's supposed to do, and it does. Only thing I dont like is it takes a long time to charge but so do my ipads. I'm spoiled by my android phone wh charges super fast. I just wish I could have data on it so i could get rid of my phone to make calls.😁

What about productivity office apps and editing software or anything to do with accessing downloading content like banking or maybe medical information and information on health services and can you cast to other device like smart TV or PC laptops or other amazon devices How is the security is on the amazon 7 and does amazon offer help with fixing the device if it goes belly up or replace it with a week if broken with out questions? Are they apps that work straight out of the box with paying anything upfront or whatever or not you can delete it, and won't break the device? Does Amazon have any other options available as well tablets are they plan a Amazon Chrombook device in the future??
@clydeosterhout1221 Жыл бұрын
Chromebooks? No. Amazon and Google are always fighting, which is why Google apps don’t work on Fire Tablets. Security: Not good. I certainly wouldn’t do anything important using public wifi. Support: I have not used Amazon support a couple of times. Once it was great, the other not so much. But everything on the Fire Tablet is saved to the Amazon Cloud,so if the tablet dies you still have your data. As far as repairs, the Fire 7 can be bought on sale for $39 or less. You just buy a new one. If it breaks under warranty Amazon is good about replacing it. Casting: it casts to my Fire TV sticks and my Roku devices. Not sure about anything else. Productivity work: I would not use the Fire Tablet 7 for any productivity work by choice. I have hooked it up to a blue tooth keyboard and cast the screen to a TV. I tried several apps that are MS word file compatible, and it all worked. In an emergency, if my IPad died, I could use my Fire Tablet. But only in an emergency. It is slow. Very slow. And a bit of a kludge. Having said that, MS Office 365 and OneDrive both work on all Fire Tablets. To sum things up, the Fire Tablet is mostly a media consumption device that CAN be used as a productivity tool if circumstances dictate it. But if I did for some reason need to use a Fire Tablet for serious work, I would fork out a few extra bucks for the Fire Tablet 8. Or 10. They are both far better suited for most tasks. Especially after adding the Google Store to them.
