Amazon Fire HD 10 2017 review: An amazing big-screen tablet value

Amazon's big 10-inch tablet delivers serious media chops for less than half the cost of Apple's basic iPad.

A great value for a 10-inch tablet with a high-res screen and solid performance. Starts with 32GB of storage, the same as an iPad. Hands-free Alexa works as well as it does on an Echo.

Really pushes you towards Amazon services, making other media options harder to find and use. Some popular apps are not available through Amazon's app store. The glossy screen makes movie-watching hard at times.

It's missing a few key apps and features, but with a lower price, faster processor, more storage and new Alexa features, the Amazon Fire HD 10 is an amazing value for a high-gloss media tablet.

Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition review: An amazing value

The hardware is good, but Amazon's FreeTime Unlimited is the real star of the all-ages Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet.

This low-cost tablet is good enough for most video, game, app and social needs, plus its onboard storage is expandable via microSD card. The Kids Edition includes a wealth of extras, including deep parental controls, a no-questions-asked two-year...

The Kids Edition costs significantly more than the otherwise identical standard version. There are the same app store limitations as the other Amazon Fire tablets, and no kid is going to prefer this to a (much more expensive) iPad.

The kid-friendly version of the excellent Amazon Fire HD 8 costs a lot more, but offers a big package of worthwhile extras for preteens.

Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Edition review

Despite being £50 more expensive than the standard Amazon Fire HD 10, the Kids Edition ends up being better value

Great parental controls ; Easy to handle and use ; Free year of Amazon Fire for Kids unlimited

Screen could be better for price ; Camera isn't great

The best kids tablet yet gives the young ones plenty to do and the old ones peace of mind

Good pink cover but very slow tablet

I bought this for my 2 year old but wouldn't recommend, very slow and constantly turns its self off. The pink cover however is brilliant.

Great for my 2 year old

I bought this last Christmas for my 2 year old and he loves it, I've never had any problems with it and it keeps him occupied on long car journeys and general use.

Fantastic

I bought this for my 4 year old son, he absolutely loves it, easy to use and also includes some great safety features to stop him from accessing certain things and I can put a timer on it so it goes off after a certain amount of time.
