Not bad depending on what you need
This tablet is pretty good considering the price point. I bought this to be an ereader along side my paper white. I added pictures of this tablet next to the paper white in case someone is looking to buy this as an additional e reader like I did. It is larger than the paper white but not by much. The 7inch fire would be closer in size if that’s what you like. It’s fun to see the covers in color but there are some other pros I like about it. When I want to read and follow along with the audiobook, it highlights the words being read! My paper white can only listen to the audiobook OR you read. Being able to do both at the same time is a game changer for me. This is also a great addition to parents who like to read to their children! The books are easy to find in the kindle app and are all in color. I am not a huge fan of the App Store because it is limited. That’s why I knocked off a star but this is still a good tablet for the price!
