Amazon is getting better at locking down their ecosystem.
We're not getting Amazon tablets anymore. Will switch to either Samsung, Lenovo, or Walmart.
this Amazon tablet has Widevine L1 which means 1080p streaming.

Actually, I think if you use this tablet the 'right' way, even 32GB is more than enough. If you think 64Gb is less, you are using it 'wrong'.
Amazon tablets are best used simply as a streaming device to consume video content. They are not really ideal for any other kind tablet use. I would venture (just an opinion), if you think you need more than the base capacity, it would typically mean you have other uses for the tablet (browsing, games, productivity apps etc.). And at that point you might as well buy some other device.
My personal experience with an older Amazon tablet — I traded in an HD 8 plus. It was a quite an old tablet, and frankly it sucked for anything other than streaming. Even simple browsing was slow and painful (I can't even imagine how bad it would have been on the non-plus version which had even lower RAM). But when it came to streaming, I was quite impressed given the price. There wasn't any noticeable lag via Bluetooth headphones. There was no stuttering while playing video. Screen was decent enough for casual viewing. If I'm just using it on my exercise machine to stream Netflix, Hulu etc., who cares how fast the device is, or how much storage capacity it has? Even 32GB is more than enough, and even a slow tablet can handle streaming. My kids broke the screen on that tablet, so had to trade it in for $10. But it lasted years and it was ridiculously cheap when I bought it.
Given my past experience, I would recommend buying the cheapest model available — with the caveat that your use case is only for it to be an extra streaming screen and nothing else. And for that even 32GB will suffice.
A lot of folks here are concerned about this device not being as accessible to fire tool box. I had my older device set up with fire tool box, removed all possible bloat etc. But eventually I realized, the bloat didn't matter. Cause with or without bloat, it sucked for regular tablet use anyway. Best to buy a better tablet for such use. But if you use it for the limited use case of an extra streaming screen - you mostly won't even interact with the bloat.

This is hands down the best advice for how to use the Amazon Fire Tablets. Use as Streaming Device ONLY. Showmode and streaming Netflix et al is the best use case for these.
If anyone has ever used a decent Android tablet for example from Samsung or used an iPad then switched to a Fire Tablet will tell you how painful it is to use when it comes to productivity. Paying the extra moohlah for a decent tablet is worth it… less frustration…. Less stress. I'll get tons of thumbs down for this comment but every Fire tablet in my house have been replaced by iPads and iPad Pros. They just work… PERIOD. They don't slow down.

But you are wrong. And only a closed minded person would take this point of view.

I have used these Amazon Fire Tablets. Owned Several iterations of them. In fact I was such a believer of these that I was closed minded about iPads and thought they were overpriced tablets for Apple fanboys.
Then the realization that the Fire Tablets were slow and laggy. Figured out how to root the old Fire Tablets… then learned how to add Google Play Store, etc… Realized they were still slow and laggy. But can't beat the price. Then they introduced Show Mode and thought these are awesome to use that way… IF the mic picked up your voice.
Frustration set in. Bought my first iPad Mini. Yes it was triple the price… but my god. The night and day difference in usability. Everything just works… and fast. No bloatware. Then bought the iPad then the iPad Pros.
A tablet that is as powerful as a good laptop/desktop. Easy to use for productivity like Office-type Suites. Games, FaceTime, runs a multitude of apps… multitasking. Swipe up and easily switch between apps with ZERO lag.
If you have an iPhone, there's seamless integration between the 2. Other than the Amazon app, what, if any integration between a Fire Tablet and your phone?
I get the Fire Tablet are easy on the pocketbook. But for around $230, an iPad runs circles around the Fire Tablet in speed and has way more uses, apps, games, productivity, etc
I'd buy a cheap Lenovo or Samsung tablet over the Fire tablet. Just for the versatility let alone full Android OS.
For $92 you can buy a LincPlus T3 from Amazon. And I believe it is better in almost every aspect.

It use to be, Amazon Tablets were the best value. And that was true for many years. When they locked down their OS and stopped allowing XDA Fire Tool Box to work in full form... that was the end of Amazon.
On top of that, there is NO VALUE in buying a Fire tablet when you can get these chinese tablets sold by Amazon which have decent specs for a crazy low price...
SPECIFICALLY the LincPlus T3 which can be had for $92 at Amazon.

Ha ha. Did not expect that use case. 😄
Though even in this use case, buy the 32GB and use the savings towards a higher capacity microSD card (supports up to 1 TB of microSD storage). Easy to pull out the SD card if you want to present a 'clean' tablet. 🙂

They never said it's a piece of shit. The comment mentioned what's its BEST use case. And they mentioned their personal first-hand experience with the device vs. iPads. What's so closed minded about that?
Obviously, everyone understands that's it's not like the tablet is physically incapable of doing other tasks. The point is that if you are planning on using it as your primary tablet, you would be better served by something else. It's clear that even Amazon knows this. If you look at the products marketing, it's all geared towards streaming video content. They focus on that aspect very heavily because they know that's its best used case.
I have multiple iPads in my household (iPad Air, iPad Pro, the latest base iPad), and yet I purchased the Fire HD10. It's a good tablet for its price, but you have to know its limitations going in. There is a reason this thing costs less than $100 and the base iPad costs $350 (and that's when it's on a sale).
Also, it bears mentioning that the common person who hasn't heard of firetool box will get quickly frustrated by the lacks of apps on the Amazon store. A lot of folks use a tablet 'as-is', use the apps available in the store, and never connect it to a computer. Regardless of hardware specs, the lack of software on the Amazon App Store is staggering. There are tons and tons of basic apps that are not there on the Amazon store. I got the HD10 tablet today, and I quickly had to connect it to the computer and download the Google play store. Some of the apps I wanted to download but were missing — 1Password, Reddit, Walmart, Marvel Unlimited., DuckDuckGo.
