I travel a lot, whether it be for finding the perfect destinations for you and your family or my husband and I taking some “us time” to get away. When traveling I like to bring minimum items but I also want ways to keep myself entertained. If it’s a long plane ride or car ride, I like to read, play games, or watch movies. Carrying books isn’t my thing so I often bring my computer which can get heavy and it’s not the easiest thing to set up in small spaces. I recently received the Fire tablet from Amazon to play with in my travels.

The first thing I noticed was that is wasn’t too big and could easily fit in my purse yet the screen was big enough for me to see everything. The set up took me about 5 minutes and I didn’t need to ask for help (this is huge because I am not a tech wiz). When setting it up, I was able to add both my princes under “children using the tablet” which is great since they often grab my phone to play their games.

I was surprised to find they started at only $49.99. The Fire tablet from Amazon is the perfect value tablet for entertainment on-the-go. I had instant access to millions of games, books, movies, and TV shows, which means I’ll never be bored again. It also has up to 7 hours of mixed use battery life, which means no more looking for a plug after an hour or two. You can use a microSD card to expand the storage by up to 128 GB, Plus we get free unlimited Amazon cloud storage for any photos taken with the Fire tablet.

I immediately started carrying my new friend with me and got to enjoy it while driving (well I wasn’t driving) and I may have even caught a few Pokemon along the way.

I started reading my new book as I lay by the pool, jumping in after a couple chapters. My bright Fire tablet cover kept it protected and doubles as a stand if I’m watching a movie or TV show.

I know get to have all my favorites at my fingertips and all on one device, taking away the stress of carrying more than one device.

The Fire tablet from Amazon also has some great features you can try:
