Amazon's Fire tablets go beyond your often supremely pricey iPad or the occasionally expensive Android device.

Fire tablets’ main claim to fame is their ability to provide you with the perks available on every other relatively large handheld device all at a fraction of the price. Which means they can be used to stream music or movies, carry out light istrative tasks (i.e., sending emails, compiling lists, scheduling tasks, and even light photo and video editing), and to play games.

However, they come with their own distinct features including:

A  Unique Operating System

Known as the Fire OS, it's distinct from Apple's iOS. And although it’s also meant to be unique compared to Google's  Android OS, a closer peek reveals that the bulk of its code comes from the former. That said it comes with the same easy learning curve and versatility you can expect from any tablet.

A Unique Browser

Amazon enables fans of its Fire devices, Echo Show, and Fire TV to access online content through its Silk browser. 

Actually a Chrome browser extension, this app is the main option preferred by Amazon for its devices which means you will not be able to substitute it with Brave, Explorer, Firefox, or Google.

However, one perk it does come with is the ability for you to save all your Chrome bookmarks to your Amazon so you can access them across all your devices.

Child Friendly Offerings

What if your little one took a sudden interest in your Fire and wanted to claim it for the afternoon (or forever)?

Amazon has provided for that eventuality ensuring your cherub would have oodles of content to keep them entertained and educated. And it's all thanks to the Kindle Freetime feature.

Alternatively, you could actually get them their very own Fire Kids Tablet especially designed for them with extra safety features to make their experience safe and thoroughly enjoyable.
