Something Isn't Right...
I had a Kindle Fire HDX that I purchased 4 years ago, and I loved it. Unfortunately, it was stolen out of my shopping cart a couple weeks ago, so I ordered the new Fire Tablet. I hate it. When I hold it sideways, the screen is short (up and down) and wide/long (side to side).
The notifications bar is tiny and does not come down easily. I mostly just keep switching tabs trying to pull it down.
It is sllllooowwww...as molasses! And it freezes up a lot. Frustrating, to say the least!
Text on websites is tiny. I have good eyesight, and I'm constantly straining-trying to read. When I change the font size, it only changes the letters on the keyboard and the URL. They become huge while website text remains tiny. Using my fingers to expand everything is a pain.
I would do just about anything else to have my HDX back. I'm trying to get used to this thing, but I don't know that I can or will. I think I will have to switch brands because I am just not liking this thing at all...
And, I purchased 2 more of these as Christmas gifts for my niece and nephew. I feel bad now.
