I'm an Amazon fanboi. I generally love their products and services and have found most things to get better and better.
I've really tried to work with the 2019 Fire 7 simply because I liked the colour (sage) and the "it's grown up now."
I have to say, I think I've now given it every chance to prove itself and it's a dud :(
I have a single email service on it, one (1) book and one (1) audiobook on it. That's it.
- It can still take 2 or 3 minutes to wake up from sleep.
- Going to "library" for books or audiobooks can take the screen past Timeout.
- Touching any snazzy icon like "Silk" or "search" can mean going on a 2 week cruise before anything happens, usually a forced restart.
Sorry, this puppy was shipped early, shipped bad and shipped for no reason whatsoever. I see nothing to recommend it or to explain it's pathetic retrograde actions. Is it really just me?

I wonder why someone would follow their own alternative forum profile.
@CBR: Shame on you :) Yup, I've been lucky enough to own (and still own) most Fire generations and I'm pretty smooth when it comes to soft, hard and sneaky reboots and resets :) I've also tried alternative wifi services and alternative (legitimate) accounts. :(
I'm currently edging toward "it was just a bad luck lemon" and regretting not acting up in the 30 day - just disappointed that it really does just seem to be a go slower toy rather than a go faster one :)

@CBR: I am still not convinced whether it's a device problem or a user problem - or rather a user expectations problem. I'll keep trying but will probably have a chat with the nice SC folk and see if they think there is an issue or I just need to play with it more :) With warmest regards and respect :) Cw.

might be and might not be - have you tried a reboot by holding the power on for a full 40 seconds?

and you can still return it as defective and get a replacement

I would get it returned as faulty.
do your other Fire’s run the same software
