I'd agree that now that the Super-Duper-Max-Pro-11 is out, (or whatever they call it, it has at least half of those words in the name), that's a better choice. I did the trade-in thing that "sillycibin" recommended -- got $30 trade in for an early-gen HD10 (one with the micro-USB, not the USB-C), plus 20% off, and on Prime Day deal. Wanted to try the 11 and it's definitely the best Fire tablet in the last 8 or 10 years, which unfortunately means the original HDX was still the most excellent tablet that Amazon ever designed, only it was priced similar to an iPad of the day, so at $300-400 it was not an easy sell for people wanting to read Kindle books and listen to audio. So they went super-low end after that with the $29-49 craplets. OK enough ranting I'm now in the Apple world now, but damn that original HDX was nice. (even available with 3G data service which was the fastest data plan you could get at the time).

Google XDA Devs FIRE TOOLBOX. HD10 isn't on the "supported" list.
If you search SD for "FIRE tablet HD10 toolbox" you'll get lots of comments that support this too.
I got the hd10 plus during the July 3rd sale. It came with a new firmware. Fire toolkit needed to use automate to redirect to nova launcher, and there's dns redirection to prevent auto update.
After doing all of that, it works fine. Feels just like a stock nexus tablet from days of old. I have it side by side with the non-plus 2021 version (on old firmware), and they're about the same. I couldn't tell you which is faster if I did a blind test. I run only streaming apps and read manga in tachiyomi.
I would also explore other brands, but at a cost of $60 after trade in of a useless tablet and including the wireless charging stand, I couldn't resist.
