Customers like the portability of the Amazon tablet. They say the size and weight are fine, making it easy to hold and read. Customers also appreciate the versatility of the product and the size of the screen is perfect for small hands. The speakers are pretty good and are good enough to carry around with them.

Customers are mixed about the speed of the Amazon tablet. Some mention that it is considerably smoother, faster, and more responsive than the Kindle Fire. It also has many speed options, and it reads faster than my kindle. The Kindle will play HD videos with hardware acceleration, but your screen is limited to 480p. The charge time seems reasonable. However, some customers say that it's slow and lame to flip through a book or an app at a time, and retrieving emails is painfully slow. They also complain that books don't download all the time.

Customers are dissatisfied with the battery life of the Amazon tablet. They mention that it runs down far faster, the brightness of the screen and whether or not they are reading. The Fire is a battery hog and games just chew the battery up. The battery life is reportedly an internal issue.

"...The battery life isn't great, six hours for me, the cords I have are long so it is easy to plug in to an electrical outlet and use while it..." Read more

"...5. The battery runs down far faster--well, it's broadcasting to WiFi, it's projecting light through the screen, so it's power-hungry compared to the..." Read more
