Received the tablet 2 months back, here are some initial impressions to those who are interested:(Background: I am a lifelong Apple guy, own several ipads, iphones, macs, apple shareholder etc), Build quality- very impressive, this is not a cheap feeling device. it has a nice weight, and is very solid feeling. the back of the device is a plastic type material but overall nice. Screen quality- it is not a high definition "retina" type display, but it is also quite nice. good viewing angles, I would liken the display to the pre-retina ipad displays. User experience(speed)- again not bad at all, I thought it would be laggy but it's not, it's actually quite smooth.
Apps- I am not an Android/Amazon user, but there seems to be a decent amount of apps. I like spotify, and the good thing with spotify is that you can play any song from your playlists(from a tablet) so this would be a great use for this device, the speaker sounds Mono but the volume is decent. There seems to be a decent amount of games available from first glance.I am giving this device so far, a high recommendation- there is no way amazon is making a profit off this device.* this does not feel like a device solely designed to get you to shop on amazon or consume amazon digital media
