I love the appearance, battery life, speed, entertainment value, and overall quality of this. I don’t need it for anything other than when traveling but it offers so much more. Great product for a great value.

Amazon Fire Tablet is easy to use. The bootup process is fast. Lightweight and it has a sharp picture. It is a good tablet for reading book and listening to auditable. It also has a good price point.

Being a senior newbie in ownership of the first tablet ever, I really like this tablet. I've had it now a month and being disabled, I have been using it faithfully every day for many many hours per day. Since I've never had a tablet before I can't really compare it to another. But, there are a couple of issues I have been having and don't know if this is normal behavior for a tablet or not. First issue that is really bothered to me is that after watching a lot of videos from streaming most of the day that suddenly the videos start getting "choppy." This means that I'll be watching a video and it hits a snag and stalls briefly and then starts up and continues to do this nonstop. It gets so irritating that I have to stop watching videos completely and turn the tablet off. No, this isn't a WiFi buffer issue. I have a similar issue with my flat screen TV because it's not a Smart TV, and it's older. With the TV, though, I'm lucky if I can watch more than a movie before the subtitles go off sync with the video and have to restart. I'm suspecting that the video stalling issue might be other than the tablet, but don't know for sure. But, I'll have watched videos most of a day before this stalling starts to happen. Since I can't be certain if the issue is with the tablet and not the streaming service, I give the benefit to the tablet. The second issue is with the video selection on the tablet. I'll have the screen with a bunch of squares of different videos to select from and when I select one on the screen, it responds by opening up something completely different that is on a different part of the screen. Again, I don't know if this is a tablet issue for sure, but it is a little annoying when I'm trying to decide on what I want to watch next and something else pops up that I didn't select. Also, when I'm watching a video, the tablet doesn't respond always when I touch it to pause it. Again, don't know if this is a tablet issue or not. BUT, I love both the video and audio quality of the tablet. I got the tablet for the purpose of watching my streaming videos and it's been a wonderful experience. One thing that really pleasantly surprised me was the audio!! Absolutely fantastic! It's like having surround sound when watching videos! I got the case to go with the tablet as well and it's really nice. It took me a bit to adjust to the case in maneuvering it in my bed when laying down, but it's satisfactory. After all, these things aren't really designed with the disabled in mind. But, it is a nice quality case cover for the tablet. I have a few cats, so the case cover protects it very nicely against their tendencies to lay atop the tablet. It's a good protection for falling off the bed when I've fallen asleep! So, for my first experience with a tablet, this is great. Makes me wonder what took me so long to buy one!

Great tablet for a really good price. I got this on the $97 limited deal and then was also offered a $20 off coupon. I have always been a big fan of the Fire Tablets and had one for many years until it broke, and I finally got myself another one for my bday this year. The screen quality is awesome and so is the streaming and volume. It definitely does the job for Kindle as well! It doesn’t take long to charge, and the battery life is pretty good. Overall this is a good tablet brand.
- Rhonda Hunter2024-06-19Great tablet
I bought this tablet for my 81 year old mom. She absolutely loves it! Easy to use and she’s very pleased with the size of the screen and graphics. I’m thinking of getting one for myself.
- CL2024-06-13The best
Love kindle fire. I received my first one in 2012 as a gift. I wear them out. My last one was refurbished that I received as a Christmas gift last year. It started doing annoying things and got worse as time went on. I decided to get a new one and I love it if course!
- kflaming2024-04-04Employee kudos + the secret to 15W charging!
Someone at Amazon deserves many kudos for getting this Fire HD 10 13th generation (2023 release) tablet to me before I left for Guatemala in the early morning hours of Thursday, February 8th. A few days before my trip, I went to download content on my Fire HD10 9th generation (2019 release) tablet but it would not start. I disassembled it and found the battery fully charged but the power distribution chip was toast! Finding no way to get it repaired locally, I ordered another one February 6th which, before I added it to my cart and before I completed my purchase, was promised overnight shipping. The new tablet was to arrive Wednesday, February 7th by 11am. After completing my purchase I noticed this had been changed to just sometime on February 7th. I looked at my orders around 3:30 pm February 7th and discovered arrival was now February 9th! I called customer service, gave them the what for, was transferred to Amazon shipping, gave them the what for also, even offered to drive down to the distribution center and pick it up myself! I was left with little hope of getting my new tablet before my trip. Then at 9 pm, a knock at my door, someone had come through! The Fire HD 10 13th generation (2023 release) has a vastly different x:y dimension than the 9th generation (2019 release). I had to order a new case but I like the new form factor better. The Fire HD 10 13th (2023 release) collects a lot more dirt in the groove between its glass front and plastic backing than did either my HD 10 9th generation (2019 release) or my HDX 7 before it. I'm constantly trying to get it out with my thumbnails! The power button is in the wrong place on the 13th generation (2023 release). 9 times out of 10 when I go to turn up the volume, I end up turning it off! "Do what you love, uninterrupted"...but only if you can find the secret to recharging faster than 5 to 9 hours! The Fire HD 10 13th generation says it's native Amazon 9W charger, depending on starting battery level, takes ~5 hours to fully recharge. That's way too long to wait if you're wanting to use your tablet! Read on and I'll tell you how to access 15W USB-C charging that only takes ~2 hours! I read Fire tablets with USB-C charging ports are capable of up to 15W charging. I did not want to buy a 15W charger (fire hazard) from one of the many 6 UPPERCASE CHARACTER named Chinese companies offering them here on Amazon. I have other charges from a prominent brand here on Amazon, some claiming PD 3.0, offering up to 5V4.8A, and rated up to 60W, that were taking anywhere from 5 to 9 hours. Why didn't these work? What's the secret to 15W Charging? Well, I found it! Fire tablets with USB-C charging ports, at least the 13th generation (2023 release) HD 10, use the PD PPS protocol to negotiate 15W charging. But why didn't my existing name brand chargers provide 15W? There's more detail on that below. You need a charger with PD 3.0 PPS or PD 3.1 (that's guaranteed to have PPS) to get 15W charging. If a manufacturer claims PD 3.0 but fails to mention PPS in the product description, use the "Looking for specific info?" box to "Search in reviews, Q&A..." for "PPS". You need at least 3A in whatever PD PPS voltage output range contains 5V. Details: The Fire HD 10 uses an order of precedence when negotiating a charging solution with a charger, first attempting PD negotiation then ultimately dropping back to basic USB Type C charging when PD negotiation fails. Basic USB Type C charging power drops off dramatically during charging leading to 5 to 9 hour charging times whereas PD PPS power stays fairly close to 15W the entire time. 15W PD PPS charging should really only take ~2 hours from ~10% to full or you've been taken! Some 6 UPPERCASE CHARACTER named Chinese companies are offering 5V3A 15W USB-A chargers using a USB-A to USB-C cable with integrated 56 ohm resistor to emulate a USB-C to USB-C cable. Sorry, these may be able to provide the requisite 15W but USB PD is just not available from a USB-A charger port. Some 6 UPPERCASE CHARACTER named Chinese companies offer 5V3A 15W USB-C chargers using USB-C to USB-C cables that don't offer USB PD protocol. I have a handful of older chargers of these types from a reputable charger manufacturer and one does provide more power initially (11.5W) than the native 9W Amazon charger but basic USB Type C charging starts at lower power than true USB PD charging and drops off rapidly. I've seen the Fire HD 10 reported anywhere from 5 to 9 hours until fully charged for these basic USB Type C chargers. USB Power Delivery (PD) 1.0 was released July, 2012. With the USB PD 1.0 you get six fixed power profiles for different device categories 5V2A, 12V1.5A, 12V3A, 12V5A, 20V,3A, and 20V5A. The USB Power Delivery 2.0 fast charging standard was released August, 2014. With the USB PD 2.0, you got (fixed) voltages 5V3A, 9V3A, 12V3A, 15V3A, and 20V5A. The USB Power Delivery 3.0 fast-charging standard was released November, 2015. USB PD 3.0 made functional improvements but did not present (voltage) differences compared to USB PD 2.0, you still got (fixed) voltages 5V3A, 9V3A, 12V3A, 15V3A, and 20V5A. The USB Power Delivery 3.0 PPS fast-charging standard was released February, 2017. This version adds a programmable power supply (PPS) that can realize voltage and current regulation using USB PD protocol output. In addition to USB PD 2.0 and USB PD 3.0 fixed voltages, USB PD 3.0 PPS has specific PPS voltages, which are 3.3V-5.9V 3A, 3.3-11V 3A, 3.3-16V 3A, and 3.3-21V 3A, 3.3-21V 5A (100W Max). The USB Power Delivery 3.1 fast-charging standard was released May, 2021. In addition to USB PD 2.0 and USB PD 3.0 fixed voltages and USB PD 3.0 PPS programmable voltages, USB PD 3.1 adds 15V-28V 5A, 15V-36V 5A, and 15V-48V 5A (240W Max). From a prominent charger manufacturer's website: Power IQ 1.0: Supports 5V/2.4A max Power IQ 2.0: Compatible with QC 3.0 + Power IQ 1.0 Power IQ 3.0: Compatible with QC 3.0 + PD 3.0 + Power IQ 1.0 Power IQ 4.0: Compatible with QC 3.0 + PD 3.0 + Power IQ 1.0 + Dynamic Power Distribution Because of the way Power Delivery specifications were released, a manufacturer can legitimately claim PD 3.0 support without supporting PPS needed for 15W charging Amazon USB-C tablets. I have a 45W output charger from a reputable charger manufacture that my FNIRSI FNB58 says supports USB PD 3.0 PDO:4. The 4 PD output profiles are 5V ⎓ 2.4A / 9V ⎓ 3A / 15V ⎓ 3A / 20V ⎓ 2.25A. I see the Fire HD 10 briefly (about 1 second) hit 12.4W while attempting PD negotiation before dropping back to 9W basic USB Type C charging when PD negotiation fails. The Fire HD 10 reports 5 hours until fully charged. I have another 60W output charger from a reputable charger manufacture that my FNIRSI FNB58 says supports USB PD 2.0 PDO:4. The 4 PD output profiles are 5V ⎓ 3A / 9V ⎓ 3A / 15V ⎓ 3A / 20V ⎓ 3A. My FNIRSI FNB58 says the Fire HD 10 negotiates PD 1.0 14W but it seems unable to decode the device categories used by PD 1.0. It makes no sense but the Fire HD 10 reported 2 hours until fully charged for this apparently non-PPS charger. BUT, this weird PD 1.0 negotiation doesn't always succeed and, when it doesn't, the Fire HD 10 drops back to 7W basic USB Type C charging reporting 7 hours to fully charge! I'm including pictures of the Fire HD 10 charging at 14.6W "43% • 1h:31 min until full" on a car charger (sorry, it was dark), the car charger supports PD3.0 36.00W PDO:4 where PDO:4 is 3.30-11.00V 3:00A, the PD3.0 45.00W PDO:4 charger that fails PD negotiation and drops back to 9W basic USB Type C charging, and the PD3.0 60W PDO:4 charger that sometimes negotiates PD 1.0 14W and other times drops back to 7W basic USB Type C charging.
- foxysdchic2024-06-10Got 2 new 64G tablets and have used, test them fully. All you need to know...
PRICE POINT: The price point for a tablet of this caliber is very good considering it is a 64G. Comparable units are either more expensive, have less clear screens and features, or are made of cheaper materials. I recommend to make this a great product; a longer C cord and a protective Folio cover. A c cord runs about $10 and folio $15-25. 13 HR BATTERY LIFE: *FAIL* - can be solved with a new, longer C cord then it is VERY GOOD. 2 new 64g tablets were bought for my kids just 2 weeks ago so they would have the best version with the most storage space. The intended use is for entertainment and their school app. I ensure they are charged fully daily, which takes a few hours. They do about 1.5-2 hours on it before it dies from a fully drained battery. They do not watch tv or Youtube on it, just access apps like school and a few game apps. This is a problem because they were bought because it said it has a 13-hour battery life, but it doesn't so I then have to have it spend 4 hours charging again so they can do more on it. This is an annoying big problem because we have to do school work on it that takes more than 1.5-2 hours in a day to do, which means they need to stop working on what homework they are doing and wait several hours to resume using it when the battery is recharged. This doesn't do the job because of the poor battery life. In the course of a day, the tablets each get charged 8 hours and get used under 4 hours if we don't use a longer cord and keep it plugged in during use. Not a great thing if you need to use it on its own like it is intended or how the ad states you can for 13 hours. I did not care for fact I needed to get 10 ft C cords so it can stay charged while my kids used it. The cord that comes with it is small, so much so that I can't plug it into a wall and have it rest on my desk. If you need this for games in the car, I recommend getting an auto charger with a very long C cord. If you need this to be charged more than 2 hours max, then get a very long C cord. They make them in 10-foot range for like $10. IF you want to charge it then use it the next day, you need to turn it off first by powering down the unit. You cannot just turn the screen off to standby (not powering it down totally). It will drain the unit. Most tablets don't do this and actually have a longer standby battery life, which is why I mention this. If you aren't gonna use it, just power it off is the point. PARENTAL CONTROLS: *OK* I like the parental controls make it so kids cannot charge things on the tablet but even though I set it so they cannot download other game apps on it the tablet still allows them to. Why add the feature and make us go thru the process of that setup if it doesn't work? This is not a problem though because even if they download more game apps, they still can't charge any purchases. I do have to go in there every few days to ensure I remove the ones I don't want them to have. The directions how to setup the tablet for a child and block purchases, make account changes for the kids, and how to do things you want to is not clear at all. I had to watch YouTube videos because instructions in and with the tablet were nonexistent or horribly unclear. GRAPHICS AND TOUCHSCREEN: *VERY GOOD* The touchscreen is very responsive and the clarity is extremely clear for graphics. It looks sharper than my 4k ultra HD TV and my Macbook. I am very impressed with the graphics. SAFETY: The tablet is made less flexible than some, but still has a bit to it. I would not own this tablet unless it was used with a protective cover you slide it into. The one we have is very good and you can use it as a protective cover when closed or open and it props up too. I very much recommend this case for this tablet. It is made better than any other case I have tried. It fits my iPad and my daughter's 10"kindle. It is called a Fintie Folio Case for All-New Amazon Fire HD 10 and 10 Plus Tablet (13th/11th Generation, 2023/2021 Release) 10.1"
- Sharon2024-06-22LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE - "DON'T FIX IT IF IT AIN'T BROKE"
I had the Amazon Fire 10 Tablet on my wish list for approximately two years. I finally decided to take advantage of a wonderful sale that Amazon was having and purchased it. It's a beautiful tablet. I really liked the size, the weight, and many of the other features (and accessories) that this tablet has to offer. HOWEVER, in view of the fact that personal security is of utmost importance to me, I attempted to have security protection placed on my tablet only to discover that this tablet would not permit it. From what I gather, this tablet comes with certain built-in restrictions which prevent the owner from downloading or installing certain programs or apps onto the tablet. After speaking with an Amazon tech on the phone and writing and receiving numerous e-mails covering this subject, I got to the point where I realized that all of the time, effort, and energy that I was expending was not worth it -- especially in view of the fact that the only security protection that could be installed on this tablet was from some unknown companies that I've never heard of with very low ratings. The last thing I wanted was a tablet that had so many restrictions on what I could and could not do. I have a couple of friends that have the older version of this tablet, and they did not run into these restrictions when they had security protection placed on their tablets. They love their Amazon tablet, which is why I decided to purchase it -- they totally endorsed it and highly recommended it. However, by the time I finally made the decision to buy one, their Amazon Fire 10 model was no longer available. I read reviews prior to this purchase covering this exact same problem, but I thought I would see for myself -- that perhaps the problem was being exaggerated. The saying, "Don't fix it if it ain't broke," keeps coming to mind. I should have listened to the reviews which basically stated that Amazon should have left well enough alone. I was very, very disappointed, but finally decided to return this tablet and am currently looking at other brands.
