Zel is interested in the Kindle fire, does anyone have pros/cons?

We would like recommendations for alternatives if she doesn't like it.

You might want to check out how often the "special offers" appear on these.  The -free version is an extra tenner and not included in the 6 pack offer.  It might be OK but you should check it out.

Special offers? Ad free? Explanation please Graham.

TIA.

The tablet linked comes with Special Offers, adverts basically.

It seems that it's just for the lock screen but it's worth knowing.

Thanks Graham. I don't think the ads would matter if they are confined to the lock screen.

I can't seem to find anything specific to identify the model linked so that I can review it. Every thing I look at seems to me the Kindle Fire HD.

just watched video of the adverts
And it appears that the one I got from Argos today has arrived advert free, no extra cost unlike the ones on amazon
From what I Gathered you can pay on your fire to remove the ads anyway but I don't need to

We will collect ours tomorrow.

Still not sure which model it is. Is it the HD7?

Can She watch Youtube vids on it?

Erm, Amazon Fire 7, I think it is, didn't really pay much attention to what I ordered, it does play youtube videos, can browse the internet perfectly, I can download books.

Can confirm none of the 6 I received have adverts on.

And it plays you tube, great for Plex media server too. I did have some trouble registering one of the devices but a quick 2 minute call from Amazon sorted that issue. Actually the support service was just unreal. I clicked on a button on the Amazon support website labelled 'call me' and within 30 seconds my mobile rang and it was Amazon.
