| Bottom line | Though it lacks the tech specs found on more-expensive Apple and Android tablets, the $199
Kindle Fire is an outstanding entertainment value that prizes simplicity over techno-wizardry. | 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. | The
Kindle Fire (2012) takes it up a notch in value, but is tethered to the same design oversights of the original. |
