Well, my old Nexus 7, which was made by Asus for Google, finally died after six years. I used it everyday to read the Google News app.
Alternative Android tablets cost hundreds of dollars but the Amazon Fire HD is only $100CDN so I got that. It has a great display for reading the news and the performance to handle the stream of included images. However, Amazon has modified Android and called it Fire OS. It has the Silk browser instead of Chrome.
Fortunately, there is a procedure to upgrade Fire OS so that it can run or play all the Google apps. Upgrade Fire HD Tablet
The procedure installs four APK files. The files have long names and it is important to install them in the same order as the download.
Finally, you will have a good tablet without paying hundreds of dollars.
