Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 - User Reviews

  • NO....

  • Works great as an ebook reader unless you are in bright sunlight. If that is where you plan to do your reading, the Paperwhite is a better deal. Of course, the paperwhite is strickly an e-reader while the Fire tablet can be used for web surfing, playing games, and most anything else you would want to do with a tablet.

  • is it support otg

  • Is it good as an ebook reader?

  • Try holding down the power button for a little until it turns off.
