    Love the Kindle Fire but unfortunately this one had a fault on the charging and had to be replaced, was informed by the assistant that it was the second one she had charging fault with that was returned over the weekend.

    Of course it thinks it is both of these. As a reader it is too heavy (heavier than a paperback and even some hardbacks). As a tablet, it falls short of many real tablets, but of course it is cheaper than a proper tablet so you get what you pay for.

    Although Amazon have a starting point in the tablet market, it is not the best start. The lack of cross-platform support is disappointing (if you have content from iTunes there is no simple way to play it on a Kindle, meanin you may have to rebuy content), the browser is no where near as streamlined...

    My 13yr old daughter has also had her paws on it and her review is simply "this is awesome, its exactly the same as the ipad!" - which she would know all about. The only problem is that all the kids want one now so I will have to buy 2 more to keep them happy at some point!

    I hesitate to dip my toe in the turbulent waters of Kindle Fire HD customer reviews, but having owned the 32GB version for two weeks now my thoughts might be useful to some. I already own a Kindle 3G and a WiFi/3G Ipad, against which the Fire HD seems to be regularly compared against.

    Summary: The Kindle Fire HD is a solid choice for someone looking for something like an iPad but without the high price tag. If you're prepared to go for a slightly more complex tablet, the Nexus 7 is better though.

    Short extract: The Amazon Kindle Fire HD packs a 7-inch HD screen to burn through movies and ebooks -- but it can't hold a candle to the Google Nexus 7.

    Conclusion: The Kindle Fire HD is an easy-to-use tablet for people who are quite happy buying everything from Amazon. But for more advanced users, it's on sale too late here -- you'll be better off with a Google Nexus 7.

    • Easy to use, Good screen, Strong on music and books
    • No offline Lovefilm videos, Slow browser, Rivals have better specs

    Short extract: It's been a while coming, but Amazon has finally made the decision to make its Kindle Fire devices available to UK customers. If you hadn't been paying attention, and missed Amazon's TV advertising blitz, then you might assume these were simply colour-screened eBook readers.

    Conclusion: A good value tablet with an excellent screen, HDMI output and LoveFilm support - but the Amazon interface is sluggish and inflexible

    Summary: We find out if Amazon's 7-inch Android tablet beats the Google Nexus 7.

    • Decent screen, Good value, Has a video output
    • Prescriptive UI, No GPS

    Short extract: It's been a long time coming, but the Kindle Fire is available to buy in the UK. This is the Kindle Fire HD, which is very similar to the standard Kindle Fire (review) - both tablets have the same interface and 7in screen- but the HD, as you'd guess, has a higher resolution screen at 1280 x 800.

    Short extract: The original Kindle Fire shunned British shores last year, but it's arrived this Christmas - the form of the Amazon Kindle Fire HD - to join the charge of miniature tablets, such as the Nook HD ,  hoping to secure a place at the top of your christmas wish list.

    • Sturdy build, Screen is great for video, Huge ebook selection
    • No 3G, Backlit screen on books, Slightly lacking in apps
