Hudl is cheaper and does the same, has HDMI for connecting to telly. Tesco.

New Samsung galaxy tab looks quite nice,a bit pricier than the Fire.
The Hudl looks pretty good for the price.

£30 off the HDX today only.

You get what you pay for, and the hudl is cheap. Nexus 7 is the way to go.

Took the plunge and got a tablet about a month back. Did my research and settled for a Pipo Max 1. Its a Chinese tablet but is fulfilled by Amazon. Its absolutely fantastic. Arrived rooted with all leads (apart from mini HDMI) even a nicely applied screen protector.

You'd be har pushed to get a better tablet at this price. Its aluminium as well.

I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 last week. Argos have a deal on where you get £40 voucher. Not sure if it's still on. It wasn't advertised very well.

I was given a Kindle Fire HD which was so crap (both as an e-reader and a tablet), that I gave it to my five year old. In fairness to him, he thinks it's crap too.

If you intend to use it primarily for reading books, I'd get a Kindle Paperwhite (which is great). If you're after a tablet rather than an e-reader, you can't go wrong with one of the Samsung Galaxy models.

Try ebuyer for the Hisense sero 7 pro. £119 for a tegra quad core nexus clone with hdmi out,32GB on board and jelly bean 4.1 on board. Full google play market unlike HDX .

I was looking into this a few weeks back and I don't think the Kindle is as good as some of the other models out there. I'd get a Nexus if I had to choose, but I decided I don't need one.
