[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4087661, member: 45785"] Last Kindle Fire I bought bricked itself after a year and a half, was "too old" to be covered under warranty, and they offered me a $15 trade-in against the newest Kindle Fire, that was over $200, IIRC. While I can read all my kindle books on it, it's a problem to read all the other books I own in the MOBI & EPUB formats. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5, with apps that I paid for years ago, will read all of them, including the free Kindle App for Android. IIRC, they also have a free app for Apple, but I don't do Apple products anymore. The Kindle fire tablets do have a decent screen, but the OS is crippled. It won't run a lot of the apps available on the Google Play Store, which the Samsung will, and the Kindle App store doesn't have all that many apps. And support for them is pretty much non-existent. This is the one I bought, I paid $266 for it: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09N3ZC8FL?th=1[/URL] Plus another @130 or so for a case, screen protectors, and the 1tb memory card. I can and have watched movies on it, and I read a lot of books and stuff on it. Oh, just so you know, the Kindle Fire won't take a 1tb memory card. Not even a 256gb card. [/QUOTE]
