After all, the poor cameras are part of the reason that Amazon is able to sell Fire HDs so cheaply. The rear-facing camera isn't really much better at just 2MP, and really struggles in low lighting. They can see that you're human, but that's about it. Unfortunately, the front-facing camera has a spectacularly low resolution of 0.3MP, which means its difficult for the person calling you to see exactly who they're speaking to.

Skype is available for free from the Amazon app store, and all three Fire HDs have a VGA front-facing camera with which to use it.
