I just pre-ordered the Kindle Fire HDX that will be today's special value. I was debating between this and an Apple IPad. What are your thoughts?

My husband gave me a Kindle Fire HDX for Christmas and I was extremely disappointed with it. No matter how many things Amazon says you can do with it, I found it to have plenty of limitations. He ended up selling it on eBay.

Wow, just what exactly did you want to do that you couldn't?

Mine does absolutely everything I'd ever want and I love it!

My husband is an Ipad fan, I'm a Kindle Fire fan. I have not yet upgraded to the HDX but it's on my list. I think it depends on what you use your tablet for. I've had my Kindle Fire for 2 years and I cannot think of single thing that his Ipad does that my Kindle Fire does not do. I'm sure there is something but obviously it's not something I need. So, the more $$ Ipad is not necessary for me. In two years, I have not ever thought "I wish my Kindled did X". It's my constant companion, it goes with me everywhere.

That was my question to. Mine actually does more than I ever thought it would.

I have a kindle fire (not hdx) and love it. I've not had any problems with it and it does everything I need it to do. I imagine the newest generation (the hdx) is even better than the version I've been using.

I have the kindle fire hdx that my daughter gave last year and I love it! I no longer use my laptop unless I have to use word or excel but for everything else I use my kindle. Would highly recommend

BTW, what is the TSV deal?

Is this HDX a new model. Can anyone compare the HDX with the (new) HD?

I can tell what it doesn't do. It doesn't sync seamlessly across Apple's ecosystem. That is the major drawback for people that like their devices and computer to seamlessly work together. It's also one of the reasons I never want to go back to windows ( that and windows instability and virus problems). I take photos on my iphone, they automatically show up on my ipad and my desktop. I don't have to convert aac files to mp3 to because android doesn't like aac. There are apps that I'm invested in that aren't available on android.

Back when I got my first ipod, I was still using windows and it was a major pain to convert all my music from windows media player default file type .wmv to mp3 so it would work with ipod. The different ecosystems just don't easily play well together. I actually considered recently switching to the Fire phone until I realized I'd be on androids ecosystem and be back to having to try and get all my devices to play nice together through conversion and 3rd party apps instead of native ones. It's just not worth the hassle.

The 7"" HDX was not upgraded. The 8.9"" was upgraded. I'm guessing it will not be the new model for the TSV.

Here is the comparison chart from Amazon.

I have an old kindle fire. It's a pain to try to figure out how to print. I don't know if the new one is different. Other then that is does what I need it to do. I got it as,a gift but if it broke and had to get a new one it would be a iPad because of its ease of use and because of the music I have on my iTunes.

I don't have any Apple products, so that isn't an issue for me. I agree if I had an IPhone, I'd want an Ipad. That's a no-brainer.

I totally love my Samsung Note 3 phone though. The pictures I take on my Samsung phone go straight to my Kindle also.

The TSV is a good deal. It is also the newest version for the 7"" Kindle HDX.

I'm torn between this and the new Kindle Voyage being released next month (but already on backorder until late December). I use my old Kindle for reading and I also have an I-pad. Has anyone used the Fire for reading books since that will be my primary use of it? Thank you

LOVE LOVE LOVE my Kindle Fire HDX but I have the 8.9 screen. LOVE the wee bit bigger screen. Which is why I didn't like the iPad mini. My Kindle does everything and more than I could ask for!
