I'm looking at getting my wife a kindle fire HDX 8.9 inch tablet for Christmas. She's a big consumer of everything Amazon. She has prime and a ton of kindle books. Can someone give me the pros and cons of the tablet? Also I'm looking to spend under $400 so it fits in my price range.

Endless Mike posted:The big negative to it is that it's stuck in Amazon's ecosystem, which is significantly reduced version of the Android ecosystem. Apps tend to not get updated as often and I would imagine Amazon tends to keep out things that would compete with their own stuff. For $20 more you could get a retina iPad Mini and then install the various Amazon apps (Kindle books and Amazon video are there for sure) and have a much better ecosystem. Thanks for this, are there a bunch of options to choose with the iPad mini and what ones should I look out for? Also is the 7.9 inch screen a good size?

gariig posted:You want to get the iPad Mini with Retina the regular $299 iPad Mini is pretty long in the tooth and worth the $100 to upgrade. The one thing you lose with the Kindle apps instead of Kindle hardware is the Kindle Lending Library for Prime customers. She has a kindle touch so the lack of lending library isn't a huge issue plus she just got a new iPhone so she's already I'm that ecosystem a little.
