Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) review: A media tablet masquerading as a productivity machine

It's for ebooks, not spreadsheets

By  Jules Wang Oct 15, 2021

Amazon's Fire Tablets aren't a dime a dozen but they're pretty close. However, after 11 generations with little change between each of them, the corporate behemoth may be itching to grow its customer base. Case in point, the new Fire HD 10 stars in an optional bundle featuring a keyboard cover and a Microsoft 365 subscription. So, can you use a Fire tablet — the most commoditized of its type and greatly popular for casual use — for work? I've been testing the Productivity Bundle — which includes the tablet, a keyboard folio, and 12 months of Microsoft 365 (the subscription auto-renews) — for review. Not everyone needs the whole kit and kaboodle, but some buyers could find it lives up to its name.
