Electronics

I am ""thinking"" of buying a Kindle Fire HDX. Why do people buy a new outfit or new furniture? They just want something different. I am still checking them out and the first time I am able to get to an electronics store I will use one to be sure. With my A-Fib problem I have been avoiding crowds with all the flu around. I have always been a homebody and now I am retired I just want something new to learn. I have 5 grandchildren that would be more than happy to have the Kindle Fire HDX if I wanted to pass it on. Hope this answered your question nutmeg3.

Again, you might not be able to play Words With Friends with the new 8.9" HDX. Probably not a problem for most, but it is for me!

The ad version is not a problem at all. They are only on there until you unlock the screen to use it. I actually kind of like them. Occasionally something is there that I'm interested in.

I have the 8.9 kindle 2013 with ads. No complaints. It is very fast but 2014 is even faster. I have 32 g version next time I'd buy 64g with integrated keyboard, just because.

I ended up ordering a 7" Kindle Fire HDX 64GB with AT&T carrier. I should get it by the end of the week. The front face camera is ok for me and I saved money not getting the larger one. If I decide later it is not for me I will give it to my son as he doesn't own any tablets. I am sure it will plenty for what I want to use it for. I will use for email, internet and a few games as Solitaire or Angry Birds. It will fit easily in my purse also.

I have given them out for gifts. I have all of the same Apple products you have and love them.

Everyone I've given the Kindle to love them.

I believe the HDX did not get an upgrade this year and its the same version. I have a 7 inch HDX, Apple Ipad air, Acer 7.9 and a samsung galaxy 3. The samsung is awful BTW. I like my HDX second to my apple. Since i like gadgets I als purchased the 6 inch one simply because i was wanting a kindle with a rear facing camera that i can read in the park and take pics. Only think I hate about my hdx is I cannot watch tv with my time warner cable app. They offer the app in the market but it does not work for kindle took away our ability to disalow usb debugging which is the message you get when trying to use the app

No need to explain. I feel the same. I just don't want to be tied down to amazon for media. Kindle paperwhite is ok, but not the web. But then again the HDX is so cool.

The 8.9" HDX was upgraded this year, but the 7" HDX was not.
