What Shoppers Are Saying

With 2,096+ reviews and a 4.0-star average, these earn praise as affordable readers and streaming devices, with a few honest caveats.

"Satisfaite jusqu'à présent! Acheté pour tablette de lecture kindle mais toute les applications sont disponibles." (translated from French)

"She likes it alot and says its better than doing most things on her phone."

"Slow for sure. Nothing amazing. But got it simply to download and stream shows and movies."

"I've powered through five books with no real difficulty reading it."

"Very durable and perfect for use while travelling!"

The happy reviewers use it as an e-reader, a streaming device, or a kids' tablet. The common complaint is that it's slow compared to pricier tablets, and one buyer had WiFi trouble, so set your expectations at "budget tablet" and you'll be fine.

A Closer Look

• 7-inch screen, great for reading and casual streaming

️ Storage expands up to 1 TB, so load up the downloads

• 3.5mm headphone jack and built-in speaker

• Dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth built in

• 10 hours of battery for travel days

If you've been wanting a no-fuss tablet for ebooks, shows, or the kids, the Fire 7 is one of Amazon's most practical devices, and $54.99 is a great price for it. Just don't expect Fire HD speed at this price point.
