re: Amazon Fire 7 Tablet $49 this week

I'm on my second Fire Tablet. I had the original one from several years back, and ordered the 6 earlier this year. I was tired of a bulkier tablet, no camera, etc. After playing with my wife's ipad mini, I ordered the Fire 6. It is really thin and light. I do a lot of reading on mine. Probably use it for that the most. It has Facebook, and you can load Instagram to it. There are several apps available as well. I use it for watchESPN, let the kids was Prime shows, Netflix, and WatchDisneyJR. If you have a Fire box or Fire Stick, you can start something on the tablet, then switch it to the stick pretty easily. I also watched some of the streaming games during March Madness on it. If you don't care about Facetime and all that, it is great. I mainly have it for a reader and use a couple of other apps with it.

You can also download prime content to it. I did that for a long car trip back in the summer. Put a few movies on it, and the only catch is that once you start it, it will give you 48 hours to finish it. But that feature is well worth it if you have kids. I put 3-4 full length movies on it and they watched some on the drive to the beach. So you don't always need wifi for content like that.
