I couldn’t find many games or apps of substance outside of the basics. Prepare yourself for some disappointment. If Amazon’s algorithms don’t cater to your needs enough, and you want to shun its services to download Netflix, Spotify, a game, or another app, you’ll have to do so through its Amazon Appstore. On top of the smartphone-like homescreen with app icons that you’re used to, you can swipe through pages for every type of content Amazon sells, all custom-targeted to your liking.

Though they run on Google’s Android operating system (I have to wonder why Amazon is still peddling Android Lollipop, a 3-year-old version of Android), Fire tablets are purpose-built to serve up videos and media from Amazon’s library. This tablet doesn’t come with discounted avocados, but the HD 10 will let you devour Amazon’s digital services like they’re guacamole at brunch. These days, you can even buy cheaper avocados at Whole Foods with Prime. Free Audible content? I’m actually trying that out now. The list of Amazon Prime perks might surprise you, and most of them at least sound cool, even if you don’t take advantage of them.

Prime may have started as $100-per-year service that gave you free two-day shipping on purchases, but these days it gives you access to thousands of movies, original TV shows, music, books, and games. It’s built to serve you all things Amazon Prime, and that’s exactly what it does.Ĭhances are, if you’re interested in an Amazon tablet, you’re already an Amazon Prime member. The plasticky, simple design doesn’t stand out, but it doesn’t detract. The Fire HD 10 is not a powerful tablet, and features like a front and rear camera are present, but only out of obligation. The high-end versions of Amazon’s Fire tablets were nearly $400 a few years ago, but dropped to $230, and now we’re at $150.

The prices of these Android slates keep plummeting. Aside from hands-free Alexa, a small bump in speed (30 percent, Amazon says), and an HD 1,920 x 1,200 pixel screen, the "All New" Fire HD 10 looks and feels identical to the 2015 version, with a lower price. There is no room for highfalutin' design on a tablet this cheap, and if you’ve ever used an Amazon Fire before, you probably know that. If Amazon drops the price any further, the next one might. This full-size tablet costs $150, and for that price, I wouldn’t mind if it came in a Ziploc bag. Like a FedEx box, you simply tear a tab off and yank out your brand-new Fire. Nope-my Fire HD 10 came in a cardboard pouch. It doesn’t come in an immaculate white box, like an iPad or fancy Galaxy tablet, and there is no lid that makes that pleasant suction sound as you gently lift it, revealing a glass and metal slab so pristine it could part the heavens. Opening up the Amazon Fire HD 10 will tell you everything you need to know about it.
