As with anything, it is subjective.  I, personally, hated the Fire!  Actually bought it and returned it from QVC.  I didn't realize I was buying the same tablet when it was pre offered from the other channel.  I know, haste makes waste; I didn't read the details.  Anyway, it is my opinion that if you want a tablet to play games and read books, this may suffice.  That is not what  I want a smallish (7-8") to slip into my bag to entertain myself while in a waiting room reading my emails, texting, fooling around on facebook and maybe playing candy crush and crossword puzzles.  I HAVE TO have speech to text option, rear facing camera, SD slot, wifi capability (I think that is on all now).  I will be doing some foot work and looking at options hands on before I purchase.

There is a cute Polaroid 7" tablet on sale in Walgreens for $49.99.

Latest version of Android (I think it is Marshmallow?).

Anyway, it is cute. It is Google, so the talk to text option would be there. I did not look for a camera, but I have a 10" Polaroid and it has front and back camera's.

Tablets are coming so far down in price, if you are just using it for surfing and email etc, it is easy to get one under $100. (excluding Aplle products, which not everyone can afford).

You might want to try a search beginning with the word "Compare" followed by two or three names of tablets. Searches like this are sometimes very helpful to me.

I went to BestBuy today.  The ony 7" tablet they had was the Samsung Galaxy Tab A.  It was everything I wanted except it only had 8GB of memory.  I would like more; at leasst 16 with ability to expand with SD slot.  Still searching.  I will check out Acer but I don't think they make a 7".  7" is perfect for taking on the go.  Don't know why more brands don't make more in this size.
