For $199 it makes a great buy for a tablet. It’s not as full featured as an iPad, but it’s not priced to be. For the price it’s a great tablet. If you’re a Amazon Prime member that adds more value to it. I wish they could have added a camera. That would have been a great addition.
It won’t replace my iPad, but it will be my preferred reading device.
