Kindle Fire HD experience
HI, I'm considering purchasing a Kindle Fire HD. I use Logos on my MacBook Pro, but am looking to also have a nice way to have my study resources on the go. The iPad mini would be great, but I just can't quite justify the cost.
I would love to hear from any who use Logos on the Fire HD - what's your experience? how well does it run? are you satisfied?
Thanks!

I'm using a Kindle Fire HDX 7" with 32 GB and it works great. It's actually my 3rd Kindle Fire (traded at each new generation). During the time I have been using a Fire the Android software has come a long way. I have close to 2000 resources on it and there is plenty of room for this, a number other apps and a lot of Kindle books (no music, pictures or video). Still have about have the memory available. This new generation of Fire HDXs has some of the best specs available.
Hope this helps,
John
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm really just looking at the Kindle Fire for purely study and reading. Not a ton of extra apps and distractions. So it sounds like Logos works smoothly on it, which is a primary app I'd be using.
Speaking as an Android user and not as a Logos employee, I'd highly recommend the Nexus 7 over the Kindle Fire HD. You can install Amazon's "Kindle" app on the Nexus 7 and read all your kindle books, plus you'll also have access to Google's suite of apps which are unavailable on Amazon devices (the Google Play app store also has a MUCH larger selection of apps than Amazon's store). I also really prefer the stock Android operating system the Nexus devices provide as opposed to the modified version of Android that runs on the Kindle Fire devices.
Thanks for the feedback! How's the overall user experience with the Logos app on the Nexus?
Same here, though Laptop L5 is my go-to for much more than reading...
Agree with comments that Android w/b better than Kindle, UNLESS one wants to be in Amazon's universe for kindle books, which I did.
Grace & Peace,

There is always the issue that there is no guarantee that Amazon will allow Logos to be installed the Fire, whereas it will always be available on the Nexus.
Why would Amazon not allow Logos?
Confused [*-)]
This is only an artificial distinction, since we can install apps on the fire directly. It's the same two clicks, and navigating to the Logos site may even be faster than locate it in the Amazon appstore. The only "issue" is the blurred logo in the carousel.
Have joy in the Lord!
