![]() ![]() Mine has only 32GB of memory, which might be the issue since the last iOS upgrade. My iPad mini has since been upgraded to iOS11 and has been quirky ever since that OS upgrade, so I don't dare put iOS12 on it. I took it to Europe this year because it is larger than my iPhone 8 (less eye strain) and syncs bookmarks, contacts, photos, I can text message on it, etc. Less than a year after buying the Fire HD, I gave up, bought a refurbished iPad mini from Apple in 2014 and never looked back. Does great for reading books, but my Paperwhite is lighter and not as bulky. It seemed buggy, and I never even bothered to use it for email. ![]() ![]() I bought a Kindle Fire HD in 2013 and hated the "Silk" browser. Sitting in the lodging and peering at a screen of any kind is not my idea of leisure. The exception is when I know I will need to do a lot of typing, in which case I pair it with a wireless keyboard, but that's business travel, not leisure. I got to where I left the tablet in the room and only used it for 15 minutes at night where I was mostly confirming notifications and messages that had shown up on my phone anyway, so more recently I leave it at home. My overall advice would be to spend less of your time and energy on trips with devices and more enjoying the things that you went on the trip to see and do. When it works, the movies in its local library look and sound fine, and the email programs also work fine I don't care for the mapping or many of the guidebook apps compared to the Google or Apple equivalents. I have taken it on several trips but find it to be a bit finicky, more so than Apple devices. I got a Fire 8 for xmas '16 and like a commenter above I sideloaded it with a browser and a file manager to get around the Amazon walled garden. ![]()
