Dont forget, if you have (or can buy for cheap) an old Amazon device, any device (tablet, fire stick, echo) you can get a 20% off plus Amazon GC depending on the device.

Check ebay for a very cheap amazon device and calculate if its worth it.

I like Android over Apple, but I have to agree with this. Not to mention these should more or less be named Amazon Spy Max 11, sigh.

Just added a $10 PlayStation card to my cart and was able to checkout with a gift card. Not sure why this was brought up but seems to work fine.

i guess folks may have to stop buying these tablets so amazon might be forced to give something worthwhile...a lot of amazon devices are more like deal with it complications than actually getting a deal on something of quality

I hate my Fire tablet. I can't change the launcher even with the toolkit, can't customize it and Fire OS is just sad.

If it says Amazon.com Services LLC it works but the ones sold by ACI Gift Cards LLC won't work. For example Gamestop and Best Buy gift cards are no longer a go since they're from ACI.

My Amazon trade in gave me the trade in value. But I was supposed to get a 20% off coupon. But it has been over 10 days and tracking only shows shipment created. Anything I can do here. Customer support says they can apply coupon if I made a purchase

Remember that prime days are coming up (October 10th and 11th), they might have bundle offers for sure. Wait a few more days.

Ordered one, I hope this is better than my Samsung Tab S8

Can anyone confirm firetoolbox works on this? Last tablets I bought recently were HD10s and the 3gb versions were still on a toolbox-able firmware, but the 4gb models were not.

It works fine. I did it in July and took a couple tries to get Chrome to sync with my Google account. At that time, FTB included caveats for not being fully tested/functional on the Max11. I don't know where they are at now. The Max11 performs much better than the HD10 which became unusably slow after 3-4 years.
The Max11 exceeded my expectations. With an added 256GB microSD card, it meets all my portable media needs.

Traded in Fire 8 kids and dot speaker, $30 credit and 20% trade in bonus, ended up ordering Max 11 for $100. Thank you!

Amazon tablets are always trash. I have never had a tablet last more than 6 months before turning into an expensive paperweight.

Look up FireToolbox , it automates everything. You can remove most (recommended) or all (experimental) of amazon's bloat. I have used it on Fire 10 a lot, hopefully still works on Fire 11.

It does but you will want to turn off your router before powering it on for the first time.
Hopefully you will get one on FW 8.3.1.5
You want to preserve this FW at all costs.
If you update past this FW you will not be able to disable any Amazon apps or services because they will be protected services
So no debloat and you won't be able to disable fire launcher.
You can still install the play store and there is a slightly less desirable workaround for using another launcher.
I love this tablet but I did have some issues with Google play services
Like apps especially Google apps force closing on launch.
I have it working great again but it happened twice and it has happened to others and nobody knows why exactly but reinstalling play services and running an ADB command to purge the whitelist fixed it after a lot of playing around with it.
It works great when it works.

Also buyer beware, I ordered the 128GB instead of the 64GB by mistake and it was the bundle, Immediately tried to cancel but couldn't.
Amazon only provided 2 drop off locations at Amazon lockers that was the only way I could return it
Both locations were and hour and a half RT drive and were in the worst location possible,no parking, no stopping, closest parking was a 40 min walk and $50
Unsafe area filled with urine soaked homeless bums who grab you and demand money.
This was the only drot for the tablet but the accessories had to be dropped at a UPS not Amazon locker
About a half hour drive each way to UPS store now since the one in my town closed.
I had to go to two places to return the items.
Amazon refunded the tablet and the stylus.
It has been over two months now and I have not got the money for the keybt case.
It says "return started" still
I have been calling Amazon CS for 2 months now starting the week after it was delt to them and they told me to wait.
This week I called CS 12 times and spoke to about 30 different CS agents and supervisors.
They all tell me that there is nothing they can do and telle to contact the shipping carrier which is UPS who confirmed the package was delivered 2 months ago 2 days after I dropped it off.
Even after escalation they are telling me that I am not getting my money back now.
They all say it has been over 60 days and there is no option in their system to issue a refund, they admit the package was delivered to them but they say it was not scat into their returns system at the fulfillment center and said they will only help me any further.
This is criminal
Amazon CS sucks now.
Also they refused to comment me at all after the tablet was "out for delivery" on two separate dates and never showed up and it was "signature required" so I had to stay home all day for 3 days and two days it never showed up.
When it did come there was no signature required.

These cheap bastards would not even issue a $5 courtesy credit.

and the last 2 items I ordered from prime 3 weeks ago said next day delivery and I still have no ETA yet
sold and shipped by Amazon and it has been 3weeks and it still says delivery date pending.
I cancelled my prime because I am just fed up
with their abhorrent CS and talking to 3rd world people that can barely speak English and give 0 F's
