| Bottom line | With a beautiful screen, refined interface, and huge coffer of media consumption options, the Amazon
Kindle Fire HD is the Kindle Fire as it should have been. | With its excellent design, useful software features, and low starting price, the
Nexus 7 is the cheapest way to experience the best that the Android OS has to offer. | If you're looking for a pure media consumption experience, the
Kindle Fire HD 8.9 delivers better than any tablet before it. People looking for something more utilitarian, however, will want to look elsewhere. | If you want the full, polished Apple tablet experience in a smaller package, the
iPad Mini is worth the premium price. Otherwise, good alternatives are available for less money. | With a beautiful screen, refined interface, and huge coffer of media consumption options, the Amazon
Kindle Fire HD is the Kindle Fire as it should have been. |
