[Q] Kindle Fire HD vs other tablets

Hi.
I'm looking to replace my Nook HD with a new 7' tablet. I've read and seen what the Kindle Fire HD can do but i would like to ask whether there is another one "better" in terms of processor performance, battery life, screen resolution/quality and gaming capabilities. I'm thinking about the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and the Asus Fonepad. (I have disregarded the Nexus 7 as it's old and a new one is on the horizon)
Please advice.

Galaxy tab 3 is on its way out here shortly as well...
I own the galaxy tab 2, and it is my favorite but the screen is worse, and I think the speed is a bit less as well.
What the tab 2 does have is a huge dev section, usb otg, and external sd card and it is smaller/lighter.
Fwiw in argument on the favorite part my wife won't let me run cm10.1 on the kfhd...when you use the standard kindle app from Google play you lose the kindle tts ability in its app.
The kfhd is also a brick...you can't break the thing. the tab 2 seems breakable with its glass screen.

Wait for the next generation of Nexus tablets or wait till Amazon updates thee kindle lineup, both should arrive towards the holiday season.

Talking about TTS, Ivona, the company behind the sensual internal voice of the Kindle, has been purchased by Amazon. http://www.ivona.com/en/news/amazoncom-announces-acquisition-of-ivona-software/
On the other side, comparing a stock Kindle with other stock tablets doesn't make justice to the machine, as Amazon deliberately masks its many potentials down the disguise of a cash register...
Put a Kinology rom on it and you'll enjoy a real and full of details racer....without losing the trading Amazon environment.
And yes, the Kindle app made for other androids doesn't have TTS on it, but Ivona works the same nicely on other much better readers from Market.

By better you mean readers that can't read kindle drm....

They are better, Moonreader, Coolreader for example, have multiple options that makes the reading more enjoyable.
Nor Kindles can read EPUBs, but that fearful DRM can be surpased(you have the right if you have purchased legally the book, and you have), you can convert from Kindle format to EPUB and reverse if you want, with a PC program called Calibre and a few secret hints that you can search.....

[Q] Nook HD generations

How do we know when a thread is talking about the first gen or second gen. Don't both devices (small and large) use the same names: HD & HD+
Thus how does one differentiate?

What second generation? There is only one.
The 7" is the HD and the 9" is the HD+. That is all there is.

Yeah... Not sure what the confusion is, you even differentiated them yourself. "HD, HD+"

Bricked Kindle Fire HD

I posted a thread earlier asking how to flash the Kindle Fire HD, and now I have bricked it, I read another thread that there was no way to fix it,
I followed SgtTom123's videos on youtube but then clicked on the wrong one and used the Kindle Fire Utility and used fire fire fire, the device does not boot now.
Any suggestions?

Sorry no. At this point in time there is no simple fix to this. In all honesty with the age of this device now and price of devices going down I doubt there will ever be a service to fix it unless someone does it for the community.

Kurohyou just released the pin outs on the 8.9" kindle motherboard for the emmc, so we should have the pin outs for the 7" soon enough which means we can fix it, we just require enough skill to solder some points on the motherboard to wires soldered to a USB sdcard reader. From there we can reflash the boot loader using the dd command from an Ubuntu live CD.

Dish Anywhere app for Kindle HD?

Does anyone have the dish anywhere apk? My gf just got her daughter a 2nd gen Kindle HD and I didnt realize that the Dish Anywhere app only works on the HDX. Not wanting to spend another $100, was wondering if anyone had the apk so I could try to side-load it on the HD. Thanks
