Well, does your relative want a new one ... was he or she satisfied with the old one. Then, of course, Yay ...

I've had two Kindles and, frankly, wouldn't want to be without it ... love my books, the internet, Prime videos and movies ... what else can I say? Oh yes, customer service has always been great.

There, you have it ...

I say yay! My Kindle is an old one, an HDX, and it's great. If they would ever make a new HDX, I might consider buying one. Until then, I'll stick with this one. It's awesome!

Yay depending on what she likes to do on tablets. I liked the fire tablet but only use it for reading and games when traveling. Did not really care for the Safari browser.

Of course! A tablet is a great tool, and a fun toy. And a Fire is a great example of that.

A Fire 10 tablet is a great product. It will make a wonderful gift.

As an avid K/Fire collector, I definitely have an opinion...

Since s/he is already familiar with a Fire, then the 8” or 10” are safe bets.

Add a cheap Extended Warranty on the 8” though.

How old was the Fire? Do you know if it has the “newer” (‘15) Operating System installed ? Because the older OS, with the Carousel on the home screen, was much simpler to use.

But, I recently bought the basic Ipad (On Sale/$249) and I have not picked up any of my Fires since.

I never thought any other tablet could Top a Fire (for my needs), but

I “bit the Apple” and absolutely love the solid, smooth performance.

Theres a 30-day grace period, so you can’t loose.

Dont forget to check the *GIFT* box before Placing Order, unless this person is welcome on your Amazon Account.

good luck

I have had a 8 inch and a 7 inch tablet a few years ago. I would recommend she become a Prime member so she can get the benefits. I say "yay" to prime but it is a good budget tablet with or without Prime. [It got good reviews on u2].

Big time Fire user and I'm a senior citizen; based on my experience, your relative will love it (but the 10.5" it you can!
