Here's what reviewers are saying about Fire:
Priced from an astonishing $49.99, the Amazon Fire Tablet promises none of the compromises cheap slates normally entail. - SlashGear
For definitive proof that Apple's iPads are woefully overpriced, look no further than Amazon's Fire tablet - Fortune
Amazon's bargain mini-tablet strikes me as something different: a throwback to the paperback novel. - The Wall Street Journal
The Android Lollipop-based Fire OS 5 Bellini features a new user interface that's simple to navigate and tailor-made for easily consuming all of your favorite movies, games, and books. - CNET
For $50, it's simply the best value tablet you can buy right now. - Engadget
While most tablets in the $50 range aren't much more than glorified alarm clocks, the $49.99 Amazon Fire is a fully realized, functional slate with access to tons of content. - PC Magazine (Editors' Choice)
Here's what customers have to say:
Cannot put it down!! The resolution is great and reading a book is clear even in blue shade which is amazing when you read at night. - jessie kane
This is an amazing product for the price, and delivers much more than $50 value, especially if you have a Prime account. - TM massage
At under a fifty dollars there is pretty much nothing else that is this feature packed with this finish quality. I have experienced no quality issues and do not expect anything given Amazons solid history. - William Hardin
WOW- what a great tablet . I am so happy and can't believe I have such a nice tablet with a fast processor for such a great price. - DSR WALK
Five Stars. My first tablet is giving me a good intro to the world of tablets. - Amazon customer
