DESIGNED FOR AMAZON WORLD, BUT STILL PRETTY GREAT ~~~ PROS & CONS TO CONSIDER

** A BRICK: Heavier than expected. If you're used to Samsung or Apple, this tablet will feel like a brick and also a bit thick. Expected it to be slimmer and lighter in design. ** SCREEN QUALITY: Picture quality not as sharp or good for movies as my Samsung

Great price point and battery life, but missing all Google apps/app store, screen casting, and VPN

Among the top missing ones are GMail, Chrome, Google Maps, Calendar, Contacts, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Keep. Many other applications are missing also, including any you may have purchased through the Google Play Store. This alone is grounds for -2 stars. Not quite worth the loss of another star is that the tablet is fairly bulky, plasticy feeling, and heavy

Battery Life

Lighter and more features than my old one!

It has lots of features for use as a tablet beyond just reading that allow it to compete with Samsung Tab and iPad. DOWNs: The battery does not seem to last as long in the new version. This may help make it lighter, but for moderate use, you will need to charge daily (before, my wife plugged in the old one every few days). Ad-supported price

The price vs performance ratio is hard to beat!

This tablet came with Microsoft Office already installed, and it does not require a subscription. I love the battery life, especially when playing music. The split screen option is great also for multi-tasking. The Amazon App store has the bare minimum, but sufficient for what I need
