kindle fire out of stock :(

[lucysmam]

Any similarly priced alternatives out there? (I know nothing about tablets)

It has to be suitable for use by one dp and a six yo dd but I am where to start

Really ? Amazon have just launched new versions which looks in stock . You can buy it elsewhere too.

It was just the bog standard version we've saved for, no hd or anything like that

this one

IIrc it was £99 so we saved £100

I'm trying to decide between a Kindle fire, Huddle, and Nexus 7 for DD......Kindle fire reviews weren't that great.....

My sister has had this problem. It seems Amazon have stopped selling the bog standard Kindle Fire.

Tesco Hudl seems quite good value for the price. Probably very similar to the Kindle Fire.

Is the Nexus the Google one? I'll look that and the Hudl up when the girls go to bed.

What is the budget?

we've got the nook hd. 10 yr old is very happy with it. It has the full google play store unlike the kindle and you can download the kindle app

sorry, I went & got a shower with the girls.

Budget is around £100 (as close as possible)

I will have a look at the nook as well shortly. Dd wanted a kindle & something to play on...the kindle Fire sort of killed two birds because it said 'Kindle' iyswim?

You can download the Kindle App for free to all Android devices. My app works no different on my Samsung phone than dd1's Kindle Fire for reading and storing books.

lucy you can have a kindle app on any tablet, you can down load kindle books just as easy on say the hudle or samsung.

asda was doing the samsung tab 2 for £99.

In that case I really ought to put it on my phone Save me carrying both with me!

I think we might go for the nook looking at it....will get dp to have a proper look though, he knows more about computery type stuff than me

Currys are doing the Kindle HD at £110 but with £10 cash back (you need to claim it)

That very kindle is 99 in argos.

Not in my Argos it isn't - i'm on now and it says £119.99

Oh damn, it was. I would sit tight, hold your nerve it will come down in price again for sure

I didn't check argos for it. You'd think I would have because dp bought my reading kindle from there!

Kindle fire is 99 on amazon and the HD is on for 119 this morning, both in stock.

yay! I haven't been back to look yet.

Although I am tempted by the nook now as it's cheaper and she could still put the kindle on there....decisions decisions

I have a nook HD+ and it's fab for the money. You get the full google store plus the kindle reader and you can also have the nook one and the kobo one if you really want. The screen is beautiful for watching movies. My DD steals it all the time and I'm tempted to get her the HD as well.

Have you got any Tesco clubcard vouchers to use towards a Hudl? The website has a discount offer, and there area some instore vouchers floating around too - £20 off when you spend £100 on electrical.

No, no clubcard, our closest Tesco shut down a couple of years ago & we don't often shop there now

i dont think you can put kindle on knook.. as the knook is its own book company.. like the kindle... i may be wrong though :/

My mum purchased a hudl today and ended up paying a total of £19 by doubling up her club card vouchers. They will only accept double up vouchers in electronics on the hudl. No other tablets. But what a bargain!!

Sorry, x-post. Ignore my entirely unhelpful suggestion then!!
