Hi William,
Is dictation available in the Fire 7" running version 5? Also, not to
be picly, but does the dictation handle punctuation symbols? It is a
little difficult to sort out, but nearly as difficult as a message I had
yesterday that had no spaces in it, grin. Now, That! was a difficult
message.
Also, is my device supposed to be fairly slow in responding? I would
think I would have gotten the hang of it by now. I may just be spoiled
by the speed of my iPod. Also, the Fire is almost three times larger,
so I may just be having trouble in general. Thank you for your response,
in advance.
Carol

Hi. Ok. Being both an IOS and kindle user I can probably answer all your questions. Also, being in a similar position myself not so many months ago I feel your pain.
Well, not really actually. I wanted a separate device purely for media consumption. You know it is just nice to be able to put your phone down sometimes and not be disrupted. Not to mention, if you have notifications on your phone that can also cause volume issues when they come in. So, I went for a fire tablet.
Firstly, AS I did purely want the device for media consumption, I could not justify paying ridiculous amounts of money for an iPad. This was probably the biggest factor in my buying decision. Secondly, buying audible and kindle books is easier on the fire. You cannot purchase this content on your IOS without first logging into amazon via safari and then locating the book. While you do have to tackle the audible and kindle store using a web browser, the whole process for me is much less cumbersome as you siply tap on the link and you are taken straight to the web store and to the page where your book can be bought. I can’t comment about Alexa on the fire tablets as at this moment, the UK customers do not have access to it though they will on june 7 if you want to go and buy a new fire tablet. Failing that, we have to wait until they roll out the new OS for the fire tablet which is apparently coming in June.
If you plan on using the fire tablet for email, then I’d recommend the iPad. I find the email client pretty infuriating and if I use it at all, it’s simply to sort and filter, deleting any mail I’m not interested in reading.
Hope this helps.

*Subject:* [vi-kindle] comparing i pad mini or i pad to the amazon fire tablets
Hello all, a decision before me is whether to purchase an ios tablet like the I pad mini or I pad or an amazon fire tablet. I especially wonder if buying audible or kindle books is easier on the amazon fire tablet than than an ios device, or is it about the same? Also, I want the tablet of some kind to manage an echo, since my computer is older and still works but has security issues since it is XP. I don't yet have a smart phone. My only other devices are vr streams, which do not really figure in here. A lot to throw at you all, thanks for any light you can throw my way. Best, Ginnie.
