Disappointing - Had to return it.
I purchased this tablet for my wife. I understood entirely that this is not as open as other tablets, and revolves around the Amazon Eco system. That's not exactly a bad thing, although limiting. What is simply not good enough at this stage is the fact that they show everything you have ever purchased Digital content wise on the carousel and on the cloud views (both default views that you cannot avoid). You cannot at this time remove this content - I spoke to Amazon customer support for 2 hours on this. What does that mean?
Use Case 1: You purchase this for your wife. She now has to navigate through all your digital purchases to find her content. There is no filter, no control, no ability to change this. None.
Use Case 2: You want to share this with your family, and younger kids. There is no privacy options, filtering or parental control. None. Your kids have access to everything you ever purchased.
Amazon's says that to workaround this you should setup separate Amazon accounts for each person and each device. That is a complete kluge. In their haste to show you instant content they force the device to show all content you have purchased. And there is no way according to Support at this time to change that.
