this is a great review. it's nice having someone talking that isn't screaming or hyper-excited about what they're discussing.

[applefanatic]

I love how honest and informative reviews from The Verge are.

People when you like the video you are liking the review not the product! Why would anyone dislike this amazing review!

Excellent review, love your calmness (which is such a rare thing in reviews today).

Also, what you tell me about the device is exactly what I want to know. Very informative, good job!

Josh always gets the sweet products to review.

About the app store, In the old kindle fire you could basically get any app on the android market.

is it the same for the HD?

[millatm]

The Hulu+ and Netflix apps are both available for the Kindle Fire, but there is no playback for iTunes or Google Play movies. The built in video player should play most videos loaded onto the devices internal storage.

[GaryTube]

what about content outside of the US? I never had a chance to test a kindle fire here in germany.
i wonder how many content is left, especial without the google play store

[Slackerdude]

I can't stop watching this great review for a really great tablet.
And I just can't wait to get my Kindle Fire HD!

continued from my last comment: Another good reading feature is that the screen darkness automatically adjusts but if this annoys you you can turn it off. You can read in any positition thats comfortable for you i.e landscape on either side or portrait from either side. you can download books straight to your kindle fire from the book store which is found through the top navigation bar. you can also find reccomended books in the suggestion bar. continued in next comment ->

UPSS MY TYPING BAD!
the full price without the ads would be how much?

i think im going to wait to the ipad mini.

[millatm]

Can you opt out of ads after the original purchase?

[Truewastelander]

Got to admit, when i purchased one i was definitely happy, the sleek design, the great speakers, just about everything was well made for the good price!

[sketchonk]

why didn't you at least compare the anti glare with the previous version?

Hi, I got another question... How is it keeping none bought Amazon music on it? I like listening to music as I read.

[MCRandDEATHNOTE]

continued from 2nd comment: you can also change the page colour. there are 3 options: bright white paper with black text (which can sometimes be a little hard on the eyes) A cream paper with black text or black paper with white text which i find is nice to read in and also an option not previously given with devices such as the kindle keyboard. also, your books sync pages so if you read to page 100 on your kindle phone app u will be taken to page 100 when on ur fire. hope this helps :)

do you download, or stream movies/shows from amazon on the fire? if it's downloaded is it saved on the amazon cloud, or on the tablets internal memory?

[eleanorshakespeare]

Hi quick question... I was looking up the spec of the Fire (considering going to a Kindle because I'm out of storage for my books) and I saw that it can be used for documents. How is it for viewing documents and writing them? I'd be very grateful for a review on that. Thanks

Hi, i really want to know if the tablet can be used as monitor with DSLR Controller App, what about OTG, i am buying one of these and i have to know that, thanks.
