The recent Kindle Fire tablets are still available at unchanged prices at Amazon . A review of the Kindle Fire HD 8.9, which shows the pros and cons of Amazon tablets, are in the archive of Android users

There are only two reasons to buy an Amazon Tablet:. ‘ / p>

  1. You like Amazon
  2. You know how to rootet a Fire tablet and a custom ROM install

The rooting is usually the smaller problem, but good custom ROMs to find does. Amazon does everything for obvious reasons, so that users remain as the operating system at Fire OS. Even if the 99 euro appear for the smallest model to be favorable, one should not forget that at this price on the lock screen advertising appears and practically generates the complete pre-installed app offering money for Amazon, the Fire HDX also with ads 379 € demand, is a joke. Who is looking for a real Android tablet for 99 euros with KitKat and without advertising, we can, for example, the Acer Iconia One 7 recommend (Review). Much more fun than with the Fire HDX you have, for example, with the LG G Pad 8.3. The kitchen has “only” a full-HD display, but it’s a real Android system and it costs on Amazon just 222 Euros
