Thinking of getting the Amazon Fire (Tablet)

Amazon has their Fire tablet at a good price which made me take notice of it. It is $49.99 (or 34.99 after Dec 21) LINK
The kids edition is even better LINK. For $84.99 you get the same Fire as above but they throw in a few perks such as:
*Free Amazon Prime for a year
* Free 2 year replacement warranty that covers everything.
*Unlimited, free access to 10,000 kid-friendly books, movies, TV shows, educational apps, and games with 1 year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited included.
I figure it will be a good investment to have a spare tablet in case our laptops go out. Plus it will be very useful for teaching the baby with fun activities and books.
I can actually get one by using the Coke Points that I have saved up so I can get it free or $40- $50 off in Amazon gift cards.
Does anyone have a Amazon fire and if so what do you think about it?

Amazon Fires hurt the planet

I'm sure it's fine for posting on TD from the crapper. As long as you understand what you're getting in terms of hardware, the worst part about it will be the software, and that can be remedied as well.
I ordered the kids edition for my 4-year-old this year.

It's good for books and magazines as well as watching Netflix and Amazon prime.
The interface is incredibly jumbled though and not good for organizing according to category or person. Also the silk Internet browser is a POS. I also have problems with charging it sometimes. Make sure it's charging when you plug it in and don't just walk away from it. I also wish I could customize it a bit more with "screen savers" rather than having ads all the time.

If you just want something to surf the internet from the couch or bathroom, they are perfect. I did the 6 bundle deal and kept one for myself. No complaints with them. There is an upcharge if you don't want ads on it.

I know my kids wouldn't play with theirs and still wanted our iPads until we bought them iPads. I have a few kindle fire things in the closet that haven't been turned on in over a year
