The Kindle Fire HD is a good device if all you want to do is consume Amazon content.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD review (7-inch)
More InfoAmazon announces 7- and 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDs, pricing starts at $199Kindle Fire HD 7-inch hands-on (Update: video)Amazon Kindle
Great-looking IPS screen ; Much-improved design ; Strong WiFi performance ; Extensive content selection
Occasionally sluggish performance ; Constant sales pitches
Amazon's Kindle Fire HD is a big step forward over the original Fire, but still a little too customized to appeal to more serious tablet users.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD 2013
The Kindle Fire HD (2013) is Amazon's new ultrabudget tablet that starts at $139. At just $20 more than the company's e-ink Kindle Paperwhite reader, it's at a great price and if all you plan to do is stream videos and music, read books, do some light...
The Amazon Kindle Fire HD (2013) is faster than its predecessors, has an affordable price, and runs the latest and greatest version of the Kindle Fire OS.
Its default storage size -- 8GB -- is too little space for most tablet needs. Also, there are no cameras and Amazon's video chat customer support is not available. Ad removal still costs an extra $15.
The 2013 Kindle Fire HD works perfectly as an e-reader with a few extra tablet features, but users looking to take full advantage of Amazon's ecosystem should pay more for the Fire HDX.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD review (7-inch)
To put a review of the Kindle Fire HD in perspective, you have to peer just a tiny bit into the past. It was barely a week ago that the world watched Amazon begin a magical transformation from that...
Terrific display ; Ecosystem with Prime is outstanding ; Faster performance all around
Software can be buggy and sluggish ; App selection is still weak ; For lean-back experiences only

Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7in review
Editors' note (September 25, 2013): The product reviewed here has been discontinued; however, there are plenty of new Kindle Fire options , including a redesigned Fire HD .
The Kindle Fire HD has a most impressive-looking 7-inch tablet screen, its speakers deliver killer sound, and its refined interface is the best gateway to Amazon content for Prime members. New enhancements fill its $200 price to the brim with value.
Performance is sluggish at times and the Fire HD is less comfortable to hold than the Nexus 7. The curated app store means many apps and games are not available. There's a $15 opt-out for ads.
With a beautiful screen, refined interface, and huge coffer of media consumption options, the Amazon Kindle Fire HD is the Kindle Fire as it should have been.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD review
Just like we mentioned above, the Kindle Fire HD is a mighty fine device. Amazon's increased the speed and performance throughout, improved the display (obviously) and added even more awesome features. If you don't mind the slightly subsidized feeling,...

The redesigned Fire. The $200 original stood alone when it launched, but more and more tablets are now steadily creeping up towards the price point and giving the Kindle Fire series a run for its money. Now with immediate competition, can the Kindle...

Amazon Kindle Fire HD 2013 Review
Call it a strange arrangement, but this year's Amazon Kindle Fire HDX takes refuge in the upper-end of Amazon's tablet portfolio – while the 2nd generation Kindle Fire HD is now notched below as being the lower-end option. Although it's largely...
Super cheap price point ; Nearly the same software experience as the Kindle Fire HDX
Sluggish performance ; No cameras this time around ; Bland design
Choice is something that we greatly appreciate from Amazon, since they have two new tablets on the market right now. Of course, depending on your budget, one of the two will prove to be more suitable to your needs more than the other. Knowing that, the...

Kindle Paperwhite (2013) Review: Still the Best
With so many terrific small tablets on the market, it's getting increasingly difficult to justify an e-reader. But last year's Kindle Paperwhite wound up being so good that it almost didn't make sense not to get it. This year's model…
