She hasn't ever used an iPad so she doesn't have something to compare it to, but for the price I think she likes it a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kindle-fire#post-847259 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 10:14:36 +0000 T-Mom 847259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one. I also have an iPad. I really dislike my Kindle Fire. Mainly because it doesn't work like an iPad. Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kindle-fire#post-846841 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:27:35 +0000 Pirouette 846841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I researched the kindle fire extensively and ended up going with the Google Nexus 7. I couldn't be happier with it! My conclusion was that the kindle fire was more of an amazon shopping device than a functional tablet in some ways, and the Nexus 7 allows me to do everything the fire does and then some. The only positive i found with the fire was access to Amazon videos, but since i don't have Amazon prime anyway, that would've cost me extra. I use google play, which has an amazing selection of tv shows and movies, and it is free to use.</p> <p>I use my nexus for pretty much everything except word processing documents, and it has tons of apps. i also love reading and watching shows on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kindle-fire#post-846778 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:07:17 +0000 pui 846778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do yourself a favour and get a regular tablet instead of a "colour e-reader"... which is just an overpriced, underpowered tablet. You will get more bang for your buck if you get a Samsung Galaxy tab, Google Nexus or something similar rather than a Kindle Fire.</p> <p>If you want to play games and surf Facebook, get a tablet. but if you want to primarily read on this device, get an e-ink device, like the Kindle Paperwhite. MUCH MUCH better for reading.</p> <p>I have a Galaxy Tab (7" one) for playing Candy Crush and watching YouTube videos and I have a Paperwhite for when I want to sit and read a book for hours without hurting my eyes. If you are not much of a reader (only read occasionally/not for long hours) the Galaxy Tab would likely suit you well on it's own, as you can download the Kindle/Nook/Kobo apps and read off it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kindle-fire#post-846742 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 07:54:03 +0000 Dandelion 846742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad gave me his when he got a free Ipad.</p> <p>DS uses it more than me, lol. It's got a ton of games on there for him. It's good for when we need to be somewhere that he needs to be calm and still, though, lol.</p> <p>I like to read books on paper, so it's no use to me in that aspect.</p> <p>At least it was free for us, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kindle-fire#post-846732 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 07:52:37 +0000 heffalump 846732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH won one from our dentist. I like it.... but I really just use it for facebook, hellobee, aol, and some games when DH is on the computer. DH is usually against i things, he prefers our android phone over the iphone. But I think he did mention that the ipad is one thing that was done better then the kindle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kindle-fire#post-846562 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:39:36 +0000 tequiero21 846562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one free from optimum. I guess cuz I'm too used to the iPad, but I don't really like the kindle. For the price of the kindle, I would rather get the galaxy tab. </p> <p>Kindle doesn't have app icons like iPad. Not easy to maneuver, unless I just haven't figured it out. I'm sure it's fine for simple things like just reading books....I don't find it user friendly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kindle-fire#post-846461 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 22:00:26 +0000 CottonCandy 846461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Kindle Fire HD...I really like it, and use it a lot for reading and stuff...I also love amazon, so it the Kindle was a top contender when it came down to tablet shopping. I do have to say, I have never used the ipad, so I don't really have any other tablet to compare the Kindle to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kindle-fire#post-846449 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:55:41 +0000 Weagle 846449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one. We use it as our white noise machine in LO's room. We prefer the iPad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kindle-fire#post-846393 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:24:33 +0000 singingbee 846393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one. DH got it for me for Christmas 2 years ago. I liked it so much and talked about it so much that my mom and aunt got one. I don't use it as much as I did since I got an iPad, but I still really like it and keep it around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kindle-fire#post-846368 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:14:56 +0000 stargal 846368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>do you like it?<br /> pros?<br /> cons?<br /> thanks!!!! </p>
