Difficult to use as the directions are poor on setting up are terrible. It assumes that I already know how to use and add things. Can't even figure out how to add my favorite sport team or local news station. It is, though, a nice paperweight.

Beauty is in the details. This beautiful, sleek, and unbelievably lightweight tablet (as thin as a pencil and weighs about a pound) is designed for on-the-go durability with an aluminum exterior and strengthened alumino-silicate glass. For your privacy and convenience, it comes with a fingerprint sensor to unlock your device, making this your all-day, every day, can't-live-without tablet. This is an ad supported device that displays sponsored screensavers on the devices lockscreen.
 

When I went to swap out the 64 GB card for a 128 GB card, I could not get the card slot to open. On my old Fire I had to go into settings, storage and select 'safely remove SD card'. My new Fire does not have. How can I change out SD card?

Will this base work with most Samsung 43” TV’s?

This probably would work if it falls within the mount's size parameters. you may want to go to the mount's manufacturing website and download the user manual. That may give you a better idea. And if no luck you can then ask their tech support you question.
