Just got in a Amazon Fire HD 10 from Cyber Monday...
Wife needed something portable in the house...
But bigger than her Note 8...
The Fire runs on Android but does not come with Google Play Store...
For obvious reasons...
But with a bit of work you can install Play Store yourself...
Now you can download everything From Google Play Store and Amazon...
Early Xmas gift...
Happy wife...
Calmer kids...
They have the Fire 8...
Very good control over apps and time of use with Freetime...

With 2gb of RAM you can report on the monthly slowdown of everything as it fills with c rap. Good to watch movies short term. Then you will wish you had bought the 7" as they make better coasters. Don't ask me how I know. Good luck with it. :D

You can run the programs directly from the SD card...
Leaves the 32GB for the OS and whatnot...
It is good for what it is...
A portable inexpensive streaming device...
Everyone can watch their own stream...
Now it can run everything from the Google Play Store...

Not for $150, I paid less than that for my Chromebook that has one great additional feature ... take it back to factory specs. That 2gb will fill up as the operating system degenerates.... not a fan ... sorry. We did pick up a new Ipad for $300, now that was a good deal.
