Netflix is available on the device though - we’re guessing it was too popular to ignore, plus Amazon’s LoveFilm service doesn’t operate in the US, so it’s not got a direct competitor over the pond. Generally speaking, there’s no content on offer here unless it’s coming from Amazon. If you’re a big LoveFilm fan then this is a great device for watching on, though without a download facility you’ll need Wi-Fi to do so. Outside of an iPad, this is the only place you can enjoy LoveFilm Instant on a tablet, with loads of HD content that looks fantastic on the screen.

But if you find a video file won’t play then you’re stuck, unless you want to start fiddling about with sideloading apps onto the device, in which case you should just buy a Nexus 10 and be done with it.īack to Amazon’s own content, the choice is pretty impressive.

You can still drag-and-drop content to the device from a PC, as with other Android devices. This isn’t a problem if all your content comes from Amazon of course, but can be limiting for other files. You are mainly limited to enjoying that content using the Kindle’s built-in apps though, as others aren’t available via its app store. The main screen's carousel of content is a great idea
