Battle of who do you want to give all your usage data to so they spam you with ads?
There's a reason why they're cheap, never used Walmart ones but the Amazon tablets required extra fees just to not be a permanent billboard on the lock screen.
And it’s a piece of shit. The only thing the Amazon fire tablets ever did well was shop Amazon. And I stopped shopping on Amazon years ago. These are a waste of money at any price
I played KOTOR on a fire tablet back when they had the Amazon Underground app store and it worked alright, after underground the only apps that worked worth anything were the amazon bundle of shop/kindle/Alexa/etc.
My last one I gave to a friend (she uses it exclusively as a kindle) after Amazon ended watch party on video and I ended my subscription.
