Given that companies you've never heard of make most tablets in this price range, Amazon's reputation and customer service take the fear out of buying a budget tablet too. Though brightness is good, the display doesn't have any fancy manufacturing tricks like bonded glass to help reduce reflections, and in bright locations display brightness doesn't overcome the tablet's severe glare. Colors don't pop but they aren't deadly dull either. It's good for reading and surfing, but not quite as stunning when watching Amazon Prime videos. In fact, it doesn't even have auto-brightness you'll control brightness manually using a slider.
AMAZON KINDLE FIRE HD 7 2014 EDITION FULL
The 6" IPS display is sharp and decently bright, but color saturation doesn't approach the near perfection of Amazon's HDX tablets or even the latest generation full HD Nexus 7 (which, to be fair, cost around twice as much).
It's actually remarkably good for the price (with emphasis on "for the price"). That's not the say the $99 Fire HD 6 is a bad tablet. My point is that the $99 price point will get lots of people looking, and Amazon hopes you'll move up to something better before hitting that buy button. if you like full HD movies in actual full HD, the 7" Fire HDX is just $60 additional and even the base model has 16 gigs of storage.
AMAZON KINDLE FIRE HD 7 2014 EDITION 1080P
And then there's the display: 1280 x 800, which is a tad over 720p, but doesn't compare to the 1080p or higher displays on the HDX line. See, Amazon's already upselling you: just $20 for a more livable 2x storage increase. The Fire HD 6 is just $99 with offers (ads on the sleep screen) for the 8 gig version, though we strongly suggest you get the $119 16 gig model because the 4 gigs of available storage on the 8 gig model isn't enough to store a hearty music library and 3D games. Today we look at the Fire HD 6, which is not only similar in price but also size to the 2014 Kindle ereader.
Now Amazon has Fire HD tablets that are very affordable, while the Fire HDX line remains the more expensive high line. Price used to make it easy: e-Ink Kindle readers were the least expensive, so for those who were price conscious and primarily wanted to read books, the basic $79 Kindle with touchscreen was the obvious choice. In Chief (twitter: more confusing than ever to choose a Kindle or Fire tablet. What's Not: As expected for the price, display resolution, CPU and wireless specs aren't impressive. What's Hot: Very low $99 price with good quality and support.
