This Kindle HDX is amazing for what it does & the screen is gorgeous & sounds great but I was looking for a tablet primarily to use for some work tasks. I chose the Kindle, because my son has always loved his. If Id been looking for a table to read books, watch movies, play games & do facebook, the kindle would be my 1st choice. Unfortunately my work primarily involves applications that are Apple based, so this Kindle has been pretty much useless, therefore even though it is only 7 months old and is nearly like new it hasnt worked out for what Ive needed & so its better to let someone else that can benefit by all its great features. Cost new for Kindle HDX $429 + $79 for OtterBox Case was over $550 with tax. SAVE $200 bucks & get mine for only $350. Here is info from online about my Kindle & OtterBox case: Startlingly light large-screen tablet, with stunning HDX display, ultra-fast performance, and front and rear cameras Most impressive of all is the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, which has leapfrogged into the best performing tablet display that we have ever tested... -- DisplayMate ...raise[s] the bar for pure power and screen resolution. -- Mashable Its called Mayday, and its the most remarkable customer service tool Ive ever seen. -- The Verge The Kindle Fire HDX delivers incredible value for its price, especially for Amazon Prime members. -- CNET The exclusive HDX display brings together unsurpassed pixel density (339 ppi), perfect color accuracy (100% sRGB), reduced glare, and improved brightness for a superior viewing experience Breakthrough HDX Display Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 has the highest resolution (2560x1600) and the best pixel density (339 ppi) of any Kindle Fire tablet, providing an incredible multimedia experience. The HDX display features over 4 million pixels for vivid, lifelike images that go beyond standard HD. Perfect Color Both the 7 and 8.9 Kindle Fire HDX displays feature perfect color (100% sRGB), displaying images and videos as the photographer or videographer intended. Better Viewing Indoors and Out The HDX display features dynamic image contrast, a unique feature that automatically optimizes the color of each pixel based on the amount of light in your surroundings. This makes images and videos even easier to see in any lighting conditions, including outdoors. Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 can be held comfortably with one hand--enjoy movies, games, and books for hours on end Astonishingly Light At 13.2 ounces (13.5 ounces for 4G version), the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is 34% lighter than the previous generation. To achieve this revolutionary light weight, Amazon integrated the capacitive touch layer directly into the glass display, and created a unique magnesium unibody from a single piece of machined magnesium and a blend of glass and nylon--the same material used in high-performance race cars. The result is a light, durable, portable tablet. Smaller Bezel, Cleaner Lines Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is engineered for increased usability, and features an all-new design with a smaller bezel, cleaner lines, and optimized button and charger port placements.
