better than kindle fire hdx 8,9?

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 has a larger screen that is every bit as sharp and clear as the HDX 8.9. It also easily installs any program from the Google App Store whereas the HDX 8.9 limits the selection of programs to their store only. The Apps on the Amazon Store are older versions of Apps than you'll find on Google Android Store. I also like the stylus. The HDX 8.9 doesn't have one. I hope that helps!

I believe it depends.. Galaxy is the best tab available for taking notes.. But for other applications, I am not so sure. For example, I am sure Kindle is much better for reading and ipad for movies and stability.. Also Galaxy battery is not that great.. It charges painstakingly slowly. That said, I still love my galaxy tab because I primarily use it for taking notes..

We bought the one for the version of the Kindle Fire 8.9 HDX. I, like you was kind of skeptical of it but I'm very glad to say that it is all they say it is. It's nothing fancy but it has openings for everything on the Kindle. The ONLY thing I wish it had was a place to hold a stylus. Other than that it is well worth buying. Also, some of the reviews I had read said that you had to re-pair the keyboard every time that you turned the power on and off but I haven't had any problems with having to pair it again. It is a little troublesome to have to charge it from my laptop but it doesn't take long. We bought the one for the version of the Kindle Fire 8.9 HDX.

I don't think so. Honestly, I'd probably go with the kindle fire. Only reason I went with the nook was because the fire wasn't out yet and I wanted something with color for my kids books. Hardly any of my friends have a nook so I end up having to buy all the books rather than borrow them :-(

The main differences are going to be the specs and the UI. As far as specs go, the 8.4 has almost twice the pixel density meaning a sharper image with crisper looking words and videos, it has a faster processor for multi tasking, and a new UI (user interface) by Samsung. The Magazine UI is nothing fancy but is a flipboard like page that cannot be removed that can be customized to show you news articles, your calendar or email. I like it and use it daily some people aren't too impressed with it or like it. I think both tablets can do multi tasking. Meaning you can have a select few apps present on the screen at the same time and each window is modifiable to allow one app to take up more or less of the screen. I love the ability to do this and use it quite often. When you swipe in from the left side of the tablet you are presented with the apps available for multi window viewing. Some apps include adobe reader, email, video player, YouTube, Google play store, Google play movies & TV, and a few others depending on what you download. Not all apps are avaliable for this feature like Netflix and Hulu. Additionally I use Google office for documents but it also comes with Samsung's hancom viewer. There is alot more I could say but all in all the 8.4 is far superior to the 8.0 specs wise and functionality. Hope that helps.

I would say that the InnoTab is going to be too easy for an 8 year old, especially if she's very bright. I asked my husband for suggestions (he's the tech guru in the family) and he couldn't come up with anything under $100. He said she was too young for an iPad (and that's obviously much too expensive), but a Kindle Fire would be ok. Those are still way over your budget, but that's the only suggestion we have. Sorry we couldn't be more help!

Depends on what you are going to do with it. The Kindle fire runs a custom/restricted version of Android, the SVP runs the full version which allows you to do or install whatever you want. Hardware wise, no, it is less powerful. It tends to be a bit laggy, apps freeze for a few seconds at times, but it rarely crashes. I mostly read books and browse the web on it, it does that really well for the price.

Nook HD is definitely better than the nook color, the processing speed and download speeds are more responsive and images of course are better due to the nature of a HD screen. If you want to upgrade there's always the nook HD+ which i fond is far better and it has SD memory slots for additional storage capacity.

Works great with the Kindle HDX 8.9 - 4th edition. Works far better than the one sold by Kindle that is the exact size as the Kindle. This one is not much larger

In sorry to hear that. The kindle fire 8.9 should give you around 10 hours mixed use (video, music, reading) on a full charge. This should give you an extra charge, therefore another roughly 10 hours.

It's a little like comparing apples to oranges. I love my Kindle Fire. Great for the intended purpose of reading, game playing, even internet searches. I see it more as an entertainment tool. The Asus T 100 can certainly do all of that, but the keyboard allows me to use it for work. It can be used for the same type of entertainment purposes, but I use it primarily for work. The fact that Microsoft Office comes with the purchase, in addition to the fact that you are not paying extra for the keyboard, makes it the best value overall. I absolutely LOVE it. I had looked at Windows Surface, but the Asus beats it by miles in all respects. Kindle Fire: High entertainment value. Asus: the total package. Good Luck!

I would personally go with the 8" Edge HD, clearer pictures at the edges of the photo. The 9" gathers more light, but may distort slightly at the edges of the picture. You can take some pretty amazing photos with either.

Thank you for your reply. I already own a Kindle DX and am primarily interested in owning an IPad as well but have been unsure of "how" much actual difference there was in 16g and 32g. You have cleared that up for me and I thank you for the time it took to reply.

I have a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 tablet which is the equivalent of an Ipad (my daughter has one) and the Gunnar Optiks clear works great with the Fire, as well as with my Kindle touch reader. The glasses are especially useful when reading outside in subdued sunlight, the glare is reduced greatly.
