I have the Fire 7 and the larger Fire 8.9 HDX. I use them both almost every day but mostly to check the news from diff. sites before I turn off the reading lamp to fall asleep.

I also use my laptop every day.

The 8.9 is not comfortable for me to hold in my left hand which is how I want to use my tablets and e-reader. I LOVE my Kindle Keyboard e-reader and hold it for hours when I am reading at night.

Several times I have had to call Amazon in the middle of the night when I was having a small problem downloading a book. There was always someone on the other end who answered the phone and walked me through to a solution.

I would stick with Amazon.

The older HDX tablets are better quality. You can not compare the two products.

I have an iPad Air and a Kindle Fire in the 10" and 7". Hands down I love my iPad more! I find my iPad is faster and the apps are better than on the Kindle (I'm on Weight Watchers and the official site app isn't supported on Kindle's operating system). If cost is a consideration you know best what suits your budget, but if you can afford it I don't think you'd be disappointed with the iPad.

I have owned two Android-based tablets. I really didn't use them very much. There's something about me and the Android system that just feels clumsy and I can't explain it, but I bought an iPad Air 2 with cellular capabilities. I use it ALL THE TIME -- every night before I fall asleep I watch shows on it, and I take it with me whenever I leave the house. It's just so easy to use. I have some apps for knitting patterns that you can download your patterns onto and not have to haul the paper thing that gets all beat up after a week in the knitting bag, counts rows for you, etc. I have a music reading program that in case I get stuck at the organ at church where I play and need an extra tune or something....it's right there...tons of them, downloaded right into my purse. I absolutely LOVE that thing. I'll never go back to an Android phone or tablet.....just me.
