I currently own a Fire HDX 8.9 inch, 64 gb tablet. It works just fine. The only complaint I have is the size/weight after hand surgery. Should I even be considering one of the new Fire tablets, especially since I would be losing so much in terms of screen resolution? I have an e ink reader, so the Fire is more for web browsing and Amazon videos. Just looking for opinions from those of you who have seen or used both. Thanks!
I have a 4th gen Fire HDX 8.9 inch, 16 gb and my wife has a new 5th gen 10", also with 16 gb. Both have leather covers. I weighed them on a postal scale when we first got the 10" - the 8.9 weighed 23 oz. and the 10" weighed 24 oz.
Is your hand strength a long time issue or just recovery after surgery? I don't hold my tablets very often; I have a stand on my table where I generally hang out. You might consider a stand, especially for videos, or one of the pyramid pillows that could sit on your lap.
Here's one version that comes in several different colors (and the different colors are different prices for some reason, I guess based on popularity).

Thank you all so much! Betsy, the hand issue will be a long time thing I'm afraid 😱! The Peeramid pillow seems like the perfect solution, I knew you guys would have the answer! Thank you all again!
Look into handles for electronics. Most can fit on the back of small things like phones as well as tablets. Most can collapse and expand to fit your needs. My dad uses one to help him with arthritis. None to recommend by name but just do a search on Amazon.
