Regardless of where you chose to keep it, the sound will be nothing short of outstanding.Ī black front facing grill covers two up-firing mid-bass drivers and two high-excursion tweeters. The five-driver Katana is 23.6-inches long, 2.40-inches high and just 3.1 inches deep, making it perfect to keep under a computer monitor or even attach to some TV wall mounting brackets. If you're not familiar with sound bars, they are a speaker built with a long slim profile. It is available in black, yellow, red, or blue.Ĭreative's Sound BlasterX Katana multi-channel gaming sound bar sound system is marketed for gamers, but after hearing the sound quality, I'd use it for gaming, music, TV, movies or anything you want to hear in great quality and room filling sound. The Fire is available with 16 or 32 GB of internal storage and has a microSD slot for adding up to 256 GB of expandable storage. It is rated for 12 hours of battery life, has a vibrant 8-inch HD display, a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor, 1.5 GB of RAM, and Dolby Audio. I used the tablet to read books and watch videos on a 4-hour flight and barely made a dent in the battery power.

Movies, TV shows, music, and games work the same way, with many available for free with Prime and others available for purchase. If you already have some ebooks, they can be loaded, but since I am new to the Fire, I just went to the Prime Reading menu and found hundreds of free books to choose from in the Prime Bookstore and even more available to purchase. Reading is my thing, so I started with the Kindle Books app. There's also a Shop Amazon, and an Amazon Offers app as well as Alexa which lets you ask the tablet questions and get answers without having to type or search yourself. The tablet has a built in web browser (Silk), parental controls (FreeTime) and apps for photos, calendar, camera, documents, contacts, maps, clock, weather, and email. You can purchase music, videos, books, games, all through the preloaded apps on Amazon and with a Prime Membership you'll have lots of free options. The Fire comes preloaded with a great selection of Amazon apps to play, shop, read, listen to, and watch.

I downloaded a few apps that I use on my iPad to see if they worked the same, and they do. Since I'm a longtime iPad owner, I'm familiar with the Apple app store, and I was happy to see the Amazon app store works much the same and just as easy.
