The $329 iPad (2019) has a strong app lineup and a brighter display than the Fire HD 10's, but it doesn't last as long on a charge and costs more than twice as much. If only it had the Google Play Store, it would jump right to the upper echelons of our best tablets list. It costs more than the Fire HD 8, but for its superior screen quality and battery life, as well as the newly added USB-C port, it's worth the extra $70. The Fire HD 10 is the best tablet Amazon makes. The best thing I can say about the Fire TV OS is that you can get up to six user accounts on the Fire HD 10, whereas Apple allows only one per iPad.
