When you’re ready to buy an Amazon Fire Tablet, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First and foremost, the tablet is a powerful device that can handle a lot of tasks. It has an 8-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, which is good for watching movies and playing games. Additionally, it has a 1GHz processor and 512MB of memory. Second, the Amazon Fire Tablet comes with free two-day shipping on orders over $35. This means that you can get your tablet as soon as it’s available in stock. Plus, if you have any questions about the product or want to return it, Amazon will help you out. Finally, be sure to read the reviews before buying the Amazon Fire Tablet because not everyone is happy with their purchase.
You Get What You Pay For
The biggest area of sacrifice is performance. You may not care much that the display isn’t even 720p, but you probably will notice when the tablet is struggling to open Disney+.
Fire Tablets Are Not Kindles
Fire tablets have color touchscreens and they feature a full operating system that can run apps and games. Kindle e-readers—such as the Kindle Paperwhite—have black and white “e-ink” displays. They do support touch, but there are no apps or games to download from an app store.
The Fire tablets are nice if you want to do more than just reading, but that also means the reading experience is not quite as good as a Kindle. An e-reader like the Kindle Paperwhite is much easier on your eyes and the battery can last for weeks.
Limited App Selection
Another thing you may not be prepared for is the limited app selection. If you’re expecting to easily find every app that’s available on your iPhone or Android device, you’re going to be disappointed.
The good news is you do technically have access to those 3 million+ apps in the Play Store. You can sideload Android apps on Fire tablets relatively easily.
No Google Apps
This requires more effort than simply sideloading individual apps, but you only have to do the initial setup once and then it’s smooth sailing. From there you can download all the Google apps you want.
