I read some posts in another thread where they didn't like Echo. Wonder if this one is better.

 
Yes, do a review of it. That would be great.

Good God. 
 
Do these users not realize they are the product?
 
 

 
I have the new Amazon Fire HD10 tablet. First thing I did was disable Alexa lol..  It's a nice tablet, particularly awesome for media, more so if you are an Amazon Prime member, and of course it also has Netflix and similar apps. It's also significantly cheaper than any non-Amazon tablets with similar specs. One of the downsides is that Amazon restricts their GUI so you can't customize your home screen at all, and it doesn't have Google Play Store. Some 'crossover' productivity apps have been created for the Amazon App Store, but so far have not been as good - like Gmail, but they are written by third parties and miss some features, and in a few cases have screwed things up for users. Amazon's own default email app isn't great (fine for basic use though) and their calendar apps have some compatibility issues with Google/Outlook Calendars as well. It would be nice if they at least allowed Google to put their gmail and calendar app in the Amazon App Store, but expecting any cooperation between these two is clearly hoping for too much. Stuck with Silk browser. You can sideload some apps, including Chrome, but there can still be issues. Basically it's a great media tablet, but not so great for productivity - I think that's what they intended, and also to keep users within the Amazon microcosm, in which case they achieved their goal.
