So Kindle Fire’s are $50 when they are not on sale. My wife is a very small-time user of apps and portable devices. She currently has an Ipod 4th generation that we got used about 18 months ago. She also has a cheapo Samsung phone(it was $50 on sale) she uses as a phone and a few Android apps.
She mainly wants to stably run the following apps and is willing to use the Kindle ereader app to read books. Meaning, she does not need a specific ereader.
Her top apps are:
Facebook
Hasbro Upwords - we play this every single day
Google Chrome(internet usage)
Email checking and writing
Note: We saw that Kindle requires using the Amazon app store instead of Google Play. It doesn’t have Hasbro Upwords and I’ve heard it doesn’t have other apps as well. This is what started us shopping around.
Anyone have a reasonable competitor, even if it is Huawei or some off brand. If it is $75 or less, we don’t mind replacing it if it breaks in a year or so.
