It's a price -- punch out between Google's nexus seven -- Amazon's Kindle fire. Our judges for this fight are senior editor -- that take -- Franklin senior editor Donald saved by the bell and myself. -- Don't think all three judges' blind scores and I've been out from -- sensible point -- final prize by score.

Now Amazon brings -- -- the most generic tablet designs we've ever seen it's a little heavy for its size but it's not ugly just kind of forgettable. Its seven inch screen looks all -- with its 169 pixels -- its density but this tablet just won't allow you. And the Kindle fire gets a three point seven next round is controls and user in a but the next. Android OS -- -- It's super clean and snappy -- up in the customization. With the widgets that automatically resize themselves and adopt clear out village you also -- -- in it. Notification is still a staple here plus -- brings physical power and volume buttons. Now the Kindle fire things having the fewest bugs possible was a good idea. But in awkwardly placed power -- -- on the bottom center and no physical volume -- is horrible. It's custom Android interface is extremely simplified and it gets you write your content. That's a blessing for some users but the judges felt like we were restricted by its limited options especially compared -- The round four point three and the Kindle fire gets a three after averaging two rounds the nexus seven by more.

Its biggest feature is its content library for Amazon prime members. We have access to free movies and TV shows books and music content.
