    you shouldn't be; considering the ipad 4 was on sale for 397 couple of weeks ago. i have both the 8.9 and the ipad 4, and i would gladly pay double the price of the kindle for the ipad.

      silly comparison, similar hardware, it comes down to what software you prefer, and this is no place for IOS vs Android fanboi arguments.

  Is this good for reading outdoors? I like to read in the lawn on warm sunny days. Can anyone please shed some light on it? (No pun intended)…

    Generally, you'd want an e-ink ereader for reading outdoors. They're usually only ereaders though, without much other tablet functionality. eg: Kindle (non-fire), Kobo, etc.

    The tablets such as nexus 7 and kindle fire have LCD screens, which perform worse than e-ink in full sunlight.

      That's what I thought so as well. Will be buying a Kindle paperwhite as I don't need (another) tablet.

  That is a MASSIVE bezel. It looks practically ancient.

    Nexus7 of course if you want a stock android experience.

    AFAIK the Play Store can't easily be installed on the Fire HD. It can be done, just takes a fair bit of effort. Things may have changed since I read this a while back.

    I believe both lack an SD card so space may be an issue, go for which ever one has more?

      No effort, just time. Google and follow the instructions.

    Nexus 7 for me, can install the Kindle app on it too

  • 

    dannyboi on 13/10/2013 - 19:05

    That's a hard one; I'd prefer to buy brand new if I can help it.
    The Nexus 7 is definitely more flexible at the end of the day though.

    superbass on 13/10/2013 - 20:07

    but where can you get nexus 7 for $129… I want one but it's all sold..

    Why all the hate, if you like IOS or Windows or others, then love them. We need more love in this world.
