Great tablet--Love the trade in program
This latest Fire Tablet was an upgrade from a previous purchase. When I bought my tablet in 2013 It was all I needed. I was able to read books in the dark, search the web, and watch youtube. It did everything I wanted.After 12 years it was time to upgrade, everything still worked, but it seemed slow and some of the apps were not updating.I really like the trade in program with Amazon. Instead of having another unused item laying around the house. The trade in was so easy. I choose the option to take it to the U-break it store and they processed the trade right there.Only one inconvenience the first time we went to the U-Break-it their computer system was down and they were unable to process the trade,. I went back the next day and everything was taken care of in about three minutes.The tablet has a very clear screen, though not up to the standards of higher priced tablets, still good enough quality to not leave you wanting.The processor is very quick, no more buffering for it to access, and streaming is seamless. This is now the third tablet I have purchased, my daughter also has one, and I highly recommend it for those that need a good quality tablet. If you are needing something for drawing or dead on accurate colors, then you will have to go more expensive, but for most needs this tablet fits the bill.

Great tablet, great value
I've used a Fire tablet for years and would not be without one. For the price they can't be beaten imo. I thought my previous one had died so I immediately ordered its replacement and upgraded to the 64 gb memory. I also always add a memory card so I can download and keep movies, etc. with no worries. I keep all my Kindle books, over a thousand, downloaded on it of course, and much of the amazon music that I own. Also useful for watching Prime, Youtube, or other streaming videos. I also check my email, my Ring cameras, use Alexa including controlling my Wyze devices, and have several streaming and simple game apps on it. It's a very versatile, durable little tablet for basic daily use. It does everything I need in a tablet. I use my laptop for things requiring much keyboarding and for browsing the internet, but this tablet does that too.My older one came back to life after this one arrived but I decided to just keep both. This one is a newer generation, but I'm not a techie and can't tell much difference in the two. If buying one I'd choose the newer one but I don't see a need to upgrade from the previous version if yours still works. I highly recommend the Fire tablet. At certain times of the year they are ridiculously inexpensive and are still a great value at regular price.

What do you use your tablet for? If this works for your use cases, it's a great deal!
I only use a tablet to read ebooks and to look up books on Kindle or Libby, the library app. Every once in a while I'll look up something online, check an email while traveling, or listen to an audio book with the tablet. Those are my only use cases. I do not play games on it and I am not using productivity apps on this (Word, Excel, Outlook) I was going to buy another Apple tablet, but they are so expensive that I decided to just get a Kindle. I'm so glad I did. I bought the version with no ads, a must, and I made sure the Kindle I bought had enough storage space. If you check online prices regularly, you'll see that certain colors go on sale. So be felxible on the tablet color, bide your time, and you can get a deep discount. Don't expect a large selection of apps for the Kindle. If you want to play games or download lots of apps, you'll need an some other Android based tablet or an Ipad or...a friend to jailbreak your Kindle. But if you want this as an e-reader and a device to take on trips, you'll be very happy with this Kindle. After you get your low-priced tablet, be sure to buy a nice cover that protects the edges and corners and install the clear protective glass shield. This will up your cost over $50, but you do still have to protect this device! Set up the find my tablet function, too, if you travel with it. You can call Amazon if you need help setting up the tablet. Buying this for an older relative is not a good option if your loved one cannot learn the swipe screens anymore or have only used Windows or the iOS. I bought one for an older friend and had to take it back. Learning a Kindle system completely frusterated her.
