That is so exciting! I have Apple products and love them, but I also love
Amazon… So I will probably end up in both worlds just like you. But the tablet
is fully accessible? That's definitely new news to me. Because the last I
checked last year it wasn't. Or at least it didn't appear to be. I'm going to
be looking into this more. Thank you so much for the enlightenment. I may know
exactly what I'm going to be spending my Amazon gift cards on Now. LOL.

Go for it! The $49 is more than worth the Fire 7inch and having the ability
to use a micro sd card is pretty good.
The larger Fire tablets are HD and the little 7inch is sd, being that I am
totally blind, I could not care a hoot.
Double check with Amazon about the phone, but I believe all of the new Fire
tablets and Fire phone released at the end of 2015 have the same
accessibility features, but still check with Amazon.
I think I am going to live in both worlds, Apple and Amazon.

I had no idea the fire tablet was accessible. I didn't even know it had
options for voices. Is the phone accessible as well do you know? I have an
iPad that I have thought about getting a fire because I have everything
Amazon. I just didn't know the accessibility option was there. Wow!

I have the newest Apple TV and have Netflix. However, I recently started
getting content from Amazon Prime. Had Prime for quite a while, but was not
satisfied with using an app on my ios device.
I received one of the $49 Fire tablets for Christmas and it is has opened a
new world of obtaining content.
I am totally blind and find the Fire to be pretty good and I like the
option of downloading a different voice.
I thought I would never use Prime for anything other than two day delivery.
What time I wasted!
I download Prime movies and tv shows directly to the 7inch Fire tablet and
even purchase movies. I added a 128 gb micro sd card and my movies and tv
shows are downloaded directly to the device.
I am also an Audible subscriber and my library is right there.
I would have never viewed Prime movies or tv shows if I had not received
the new $49 Fire for Christmas. You are able to download content for
view/listening when not connected to the internet and this is not possible
with Netflix.
I have an iPad mini, but this is devoted to the iTunes e eco system and the
new Amazon Fire is where I have the option to purchase or view movies for
free if Prime and the accessibility of the new Fire tablets is pretty good
and more than worth the $49.

Just thought I would let you know what is happening so far on my cable
cutting adventure. I bought a new TV, good deal from Best Buy. Now I am
waiting for friend to help me get my old big TV out of the apartment so I
can set up the new one. I did see a good price for Apple TV 4th generation
with the HDMI cable included from RadioShack and I'm thinking about going
down to the store later today to check it out. Or maybe it is just an
online offer.
I have a question. Most of my friends that have cut the cord have Netflix.
I was wondering if anybody has Hulu and what their experiences with them
are. Or maybe somebody has both Hulu and Netflix and can tell me the pros
and cons to each service. A couple of my friends have asked me why I don't
purchased a cheaper Roku box or the Amazon fire stick. I told him I
believe that they both are not accessible to blind people. Am I correct?
Thanks.
