I had an old Amazon Fire tablet, one of the cheapest models. Thing was basically useless, even after I extracted it from Amazon’s environment.
But, it was perfectly functional for reading, and was an excellent size for comics of any sort in particular. Was also good for video. Just don’t expect it to do literally anything else. Except shop from Amazon I suppose, which is not very helpful.
Fire tablets would be way more useful if Amazon killed their app store and just went with Google and Android. Not smiling for Google, but the Amazon app store is shit and doesn’t include useful things. And Amazon gets all the telemetry.
I use an old Fire tablet for jellyfin and kavita, and it works well for comic books. Pixel density is fine for single pages, but can get a little hard to read two page spreads without turning the tablet, but not enough of an issue to be a deal breaker
I got the ad supporter version, and use Fire Toolbox to remove the Amazon garbage and lock screen ads.
