Great device. Lacks content heavily.
How am I supposed to use this if the apps of the same brand aren't even supported anymore?
Arrived quickly. Was already set up with my account. I had opted in. I paid extra for no ads even tho the ads are smarter and more enjoyable than apple ads. The recommended screen protector is great. Love it for comics and it has a really cool guided reading mode that zooms in on panels. Very customizable interface on how the device works. Very helpful tips and tricks hidden all over. Do wish the guide was more extensive than four little cards. I wonder what other features I'm missing? What's weird is Amazon app doesn't even work on it. Its app store is extremely limited and riddled with fake apps so you will end up getting tricked while trying to find certain apps. Its just so weird how Amazon apps are not supported on a newest model Kindle fire, I have to use the web. it also just gives me blank screens in the alexa app and will not let me connect my spotify account when thats the notifacation i was given. The books stores are all messed up. I get "#39s," instead of an apostrophes. They also don't allow you to add to your list unless you go into the books info and then lose all your progress scrolling. Very nice machine for the sale price, but I would never pay 300$ for what I got unless there were more options of apps. Wish this had more options cause it is a very nice tablet for game, reading, music, and movies. Took about 2 hours to charge but I think that may have been a faulty Amazon block because the block started smoking. Threw away Amazon block and used phone charger. No further issues was done in an hour. Charged in just over an hour.
Edit: Amazon had reached out and compensated me for the defected charging brick
2nd Edit: Amazon his fixed the issue with Alexa and Amazon shopping app. Thank you team
