Amazon says the Fire is its fastest-selling tablet ever, with millions sold since its launch, it’s a shame it won’t say just how many millions.
I’ve been using an 8Gb Fire since the $49.99 model launched last September and I’ve found it to be a great tablet which I use not only for reading ebooks, but also for web browsing, email and even writing letters and using spreadsheets. The specifications include:
-
7-inch IPS display
-
Quad-core 1.3 GHz processor
-
Front and rear-facing cameras (although the cameras are definitely not high-res)
-
Up to 128Gb of expandable storage via microSD
-
Up to 7 hours of mixed-use battery life
-
Fire OS 5 Bellini
