The Kindle Fire has a much better history of performance and is integrated into Amazon.com. I've seen my friend's Kindle Fire in performance and it's impressive. The Coby I had failed within 48 hours (I returned for a full refund - which was terrific).

The Coby is a true Android device that lets you get apps from the google play store, the Kindle fire is a locked down version of android that only can get apps from the Amazon site. Look for this tablet NX008HD8G from nextbook. I just purchased it at walmart for $99, best tablet ever, and so cheap you can give them as gifts.

No problems with my unit. I prefer the Android OS to Amazon for both online use and as a reader. Battery life not great. Overall, I'm satisfied, especially at this price point.

I have no knowledge of Kindle Fire, have never used it, but the speakers do have a separate power cord and need to be plugged into a D.C. outlet.In my set up it's a power strip.

Lilly.n Kindle fire is a great product but not for what you want. You are right about the LePan. There is a LePan 2 that I am considering buying myself. I have been researching for months now. When you read the low star reviews and the same issue keeps showing up, I believe it. If the complaints are all over the place I don't take them seriously. Every Android I get my eye on ends up with major issues. I think I am just going to get the apple ipad and play it safe. ps amazon.com is cheaper than hsc. best of luck, God Bless

Don't know. I have a Kindle Fire, check the specifications of the size of the device. I would recommend the Otter Box, I replaced the BTJ with the Otter Box because the OB has a screen cover and clear screen cover. Bit more expensive but better protection. Hope that helps.

Thank you Alan. I will have to try that out. I ended up getting a Nook from B&N.; I was able to go into the store and play around with one which made me feel better about buying it. I know that there are some books on Kindle that I'm going to try and convert.

sony:) It's lighter and you can (with the firmware upgrade) get adobe digital edition books and several other formats. This means that, unlike the kindle, you are not locked to the sony ebook store, but can buy books from other places.

I would imagine because they are nearly the same dimensions (1 cm difference). As long as Kindle Fire has Bluetooth connectivity it should work.

I dont have a Kindle Fire however, Kicker says the app compatibility varies based on os. It will still sound great without app. There is still bass and treble adjustment availabe through the remote.

Its really two different devices, Kindle has a gray scale screen, Asus has colour. The pros with kindle is the mobile capacity and the weight but it should no be compared as Asus way ahead with all and have so much more features (memory, processor, storage,gps,wifi, etc) The Asus is a definte buy intended for more than book reading.

Its comparable with my 2 year old Kindle, but its not a Fire. The power monkey comes with a ton if different plug adapters, my husband, daughter and I never leave home without our power monkeys. We love it!

Hasbro hasn't simply made a choice to not support the Kindle Fire, the problem is due to the limitations of the hardware in the Kindle Fire, it is not capable of running the Furby App software. The upgraded Kindle Fire HD is capable of supporting the Furby App.

I did not like my Sylvania so I returned it and bought a kindle fire nd. Night and day difference with speed and quality.

My favorite market for this tablet is Amazon AppStore. You will get more apps there that actually work on this tablet. Yes, there are various workarounds that will let you put Google Play Store on the Coby but because this tablet doesn't come with a licensed version of Play Store, many apps there are not set up for this device. Go with Amazon.

I see that someone else has already answered but I'd like to add my 2 cents. To be honest, I didn't get that far because the operating system was so cumbersome and slow that I ran out of patience well before that. From what I could see from the outset, the preloaded apps are all things that kids don't care about like a clock and calculator, and if you want something fun you have to pay between $7.00 and $25.00 for downloaded apps. We're returning ours and getting a Kindle Fire for about the same price, with many great apps that are either free, or cost no more than $3.99 (.99 is common).

My wife has a Fire and I have a paper white and I have used one charger for both on occasion. To be safe you should look at the specs. for both devices and the charger to ensure you will not damage your Kindles. I know this is not a definitive answer but I tend to be cautious with expensive items.

Almost every review I've seen on the Fire says the touchscreen has problems with responsiveness. I did some playing around with both units at a Target and found the same problem with the touchscreen. The software seemed decent on both. If you're going to watch movies/videos the nook's display seemed closer to an HD experience, but neither was bad. Amazon's obviously got a much broader and richer content collection "in the cloud" than B&N;, but if the books you need are available for the Nook, it seems much smoother and more responsive.

If Kindle has an Android App then yes you can, because it has an Android Player. It also has a nice e-reader of its own, with Kobo books. I thoroughly enjoy the app, but at the same time I'm not a heavy reader. Plus there are always work arounds.
