Our verdict

Choose the Fire Max 11 for the biggest, sharpest Fire screen and a sturdier aluminum body — easier on poor eyesight and better for video calls and reading. Choose the Fire HD 10 to spend less for a slightly smaller but still large screen that does everything most seniors need. Both use the same simple Alexa-powered Fire interface, so the choice comes down to screen size and budget.
