Made for Amazon Stylus Pen for Fireplace Max 11 (2023 Launch) & Amazon Fireplace HD 10, (thirteenth Gen, 2023 launch) Tablets

Delivered 5 days late, I traveled and missed it, squirrel soaked package in urine
It works fine though.See Settings for Stylus introduction with Fire Tablet HD 10 . It shows apps to use and how to use in input fields. It recognizes cursive and non cursive writing. I only tried English.Can be used to select, type, and draw.Does not work with Google Pixel 8 Pro.

I changed my mind…again…
My convoluted relationship with this Fire 11 stylus pen continues. If only I had a dollar for every time I’ve unpackaged it and re-packaged it for return. CLEARLY, I WANT to like it, I just keep wrestling with the practicality of it…will I actually USE it enough to make it worth the cost? Probably not, but then I paid far more for the Apple Pencil I purchased with my iPad Air 3 years ago, and I’ve certainly not used IT enough to merit its cost either.In my initial review, I noted the absence of palm rejection as a deal breaker for me. Then I decided to search for note taking apps for further experimenting. Was not impressed with Amazon’s app store offerings, so went to Google Play. Yes, there IS a way to install Google apps on your Fire 11 2023, but that’s for another review of the Fire 11. For now, suffice to say, one of the apps I downloaded actually had some options in the settings for how I could customize the stylus pen functions…palm rejection was one of them…making my Fire 11 Stylus pen work just as I wanted it to! The other app did not have the same detailed settings, but palm rejection seemed to be working just the same. At this point I can’t remember what apps I had used the pen with initially that caused the frustration during my earlier assessment, but I do remember they were not designated as note taking apps specified for handwriting. SO, no more deal breaker!Another concern I’d had was the iffy strength of the magnetic attachment of pen to tablet. I use a clear, minimalist cover on my Fire 11 to protect the back from scratches. As with most similar covers, it DOES allow for a magnetic connection to a stylus pen, but it is not what I would call a very dependable one…it can get bumped off quite easily. I have the same issue with my iPad and Apple Pencil when using a similar cover. When using my iPad keyboard case, the magnetic strip is not covered, and the Apple Pencil sticks like glue. I discovered the same holds true for the Kindle Fire 11 pen…when I remove the cover and expose the magnetic strip, the pen sticks like glue, just like the Apple pencil. Of course, the issue here is that most folks are going to want a cover of some sort on their tablet, and unless the cover leaves a bare space over the magnetic strip, the security of the holding power will be iffy and undependable. The $50 magnetic cover made just for the Fire 11 would eliminate this issue, but it’s too expensive and I don’t like the flap style cover…I find these cumbersome and annoying when using the tablet for relaxed reading. I’ve yet to find a cover that would protect the back of my Fire with a minimalist covering, while leaving the exposed edge for the pen. Maybe I can live with this.My other concern was the annoying little tool necessary for changing out nibs. No more than I would actually use the handwriting or drawing features of this pen, I would likely not have to do this often, but should the time come, I will likely whine about it. Would it have really been that much more difficult to just make a screw on nib Amazon?!Bottom line of my reassessment, will I keep this thing or return it? I still don’t know. Although I don’t anticipate much need of having a comfortable and accurate tool for handwriting on this tablet, having this pen WOULD offer those capabilities should I change my mind…and as you can see from this overly lengthy review, I tend to change my mind often. I will also say that when using a wireless keyboard and tapping the screen to place the cursor or make selections, it is far more accurate and easy using the stylus pen than a regular stylus…rubber, fiber or even disc precision requires applying more pressure…big plus for the stylus pen.Do I anticipate a lot of use for it? No. Yet all practicality aside, it’s clear that I WANT it, practical or not. And if you’ve stuck with me throughout this review, maybe I’ve offered enough info for you to decide if you also want it. You can read on starting with the next paragraph, but it isn’t really necessary, as this re-review makes mention of all of the things I didn’t like initially. And yeah, I’m keeping it. Not practical for me personally, but I’m keeping it anyway.The first review, if interested, is as follows:It took me a little over a week to adjust to this thing (I also use an iPad Air with an Apple Pencil, so there were some adjustments to differing platforms, etc.), but eventually I felt like I could be happy with this product…BUT…First let’s cover everything BUT the but. This pen feels good in the hand, albeit a bit heavy. In an age of rechargeables, I thought it a bit weird that it uses batteries that must be replaced. Not my preference, but I felt I could live with it. Replacing the tip didn’t seem like something I would be looking forward to either. It would require the use of an odd teeny little “tool” (included with the pencil, that would be oh so easy to lose!). According to testimonials on the web, neither the tool nor the process could be considered “effortless” (as in the ease of unscrewing the old nib and screwing on a new one on the Apple Pencil), but I assumed I could handle it, as I would not be using this pencil or tablet as my primary tablet workhorse anyway. Magnetism is fair. Though the pencil does stick, if you handle the tablet a lot with the pencil stuck on it, it will fall off more frequently than you may like. Almost the same could be said for the Apple Pencil as well though…it sticks only slightly more securely, but that is likely because it isn’t as thick and heavy as this Fire 11 pen. I tend not to handle tablets with pens being held on with nothing but magnets except for short trips (from one room to the next) for the reasons just mentioned. I’m not sure how many times either the Fire 11 pen or the Apple Pencil can hit the floor without messing up functionality, and I don’t want to find out, so I err on the side of caution. Now, let’s move on to the BUT……the absence of palm rejection, which ultimately became the deal breaker for me. My initial assumption before purchasing was that SURELY, EVERY serious tablet pen/pencil would come fully equipped with palm rejection as a staple feature. With a tablet the size of the Fire 11 Max 2023, how on earth can anyone use the pen for handwriting or sketching without some other part of your hand touching the touch screen at some point (and I have SMALL hands!)???!!! After about a week of being annoyed with the Fire 11’s erratic and unwanted responses to other parts of my hand touching the screen during attempts to use the Fire 11 pen for precisely the reasons you would WANT a PEN vs stylus for, I was just DONE. The Fire 11 pen is going back to Amazon and I’ll be returning to my old dual nib stylus pens with rubber or fabric on one end and a precision disc nib on the other. Works just as perfectly as the Fire 11 pen, withOUT the constant annoyance of unwanted responses from the screen being touched with other parts of my hand.Dear Amazon innovators, if you really want to compete with the big boy tablet accessories, (come on out of your cave and join the rest of the world of technology…), you certainly DO have the capabilities of doing so. Palm rejection for a device used for writing and drawing on a generously sized touchscreen device is simply a no-brainer.

NOT GREAT FOR WORK
I had hoped to use this for work, but most of the basic apps I use (Dropbox, Canva, Adobe Express, nothing crazy) there’s no compatible app. So to use them, I have to use the browser, which doesn’t really help me. Likewise, apps like Reddit and Faire don’t work either, which is a bummer. I got the stylus bundle hoping to use it to draw, jury’s still out whether it’ll be worth it.EXTREMELY hard to integrate with Google, you billionaires really are dumb. Got locked out of my Gmail & had to wait 6 hours to get back in. I’m sure this is intended to Strong-arm me to use some Amazon based email or whatever, it’s just a hassle that makes me mad.If you’re getting it to just watch TV or play games, I guess it’s great & you should do it. If you need to do any kind of work with it, save up for an iPad, I guess, because this tablet ain’t it. I’ll probably keep it to take on trips instead of a laptop, but it’s definitely NOT what I thought it would be.

Works well!
I love this pen! It is awesome with my new Kindle Fire. I thought it was a little pricey, but it has been worth it. I bought extra batteries so that I would always have the use of the pen. Yes, it is that good!

Der Made for Amazon Eingabestift für das Fire Max 11 hat sich als äußerst nützlich erwiesen. Ich benutze den Stift regelmäßig und er funktioniert einwandfrei. Besonders praktisch ist, dass keine Kopplung erforderlich ist – einfach die im Lieferumfang enthaltene Batterie einlegen und loslegen1.Der Stift ist ideal zum Zeichnen, Skizzieren, Ausmalen, Notieren und Markieren von PDFs1. Ein kleiner Hinweis: Es sollte deutlicher erwähnt werden, dass eine AAAA-Batterie verwendet wird2. Dies ist wichtig zu wissen, um sicherzustellen, dass man immer eine Ersatzbatterie zur Hand hat.Insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden mit der Leistung und der Benutzerfreundlichkeit dieses Eingabestifts. Er ist eine perfekte Ergänzung für das Fire Max 11 und macht das Arbeiten und Malen auf dem Tablet noch angenehmer.

FireHD10を購入したので物は試しという感じで購入しました。遅延はほとんど感じません。主に手書きメモに使っています。ペンの動作というよりタブレット側のバージョンアップにも期待したいのですが，日本語変換はもう少しスムーズにいくともっとペンの活用ができると思います。タブレットとペン両方買ってもコスパは抜群ではないでしょうか。愛用しています。
