Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet (newest model), 8” HD Display, 3GB memory, 32GB, designed for portable entertainment, Emerald

Got this for my 3 year old daughter and she loves it! It’s super fast, has a nice, clear screen, and it gets loud. The kid apps on there are great and gives little ones tons of things to do to keep them entertained and busy, especially when you need them to be out your hair for a minute. This tablet is very sturdy and I’m not worried about the screen cracking or anything. I never had an Amazon Fire tablet break on me and I have purchased quite a few for myself and my children. This tablet will last my daughter a long time. The color is very pretty, which is a plus. My daughter loves this tablet, and so do I.

Worth it as an Xmas gift!!! Works well, holds a charge, and great quality!

Leaving my original review below. Originally liked this a lot, but within 24 hours realized (1) it was extremely slow and glitchy, (2) the screensaver ads and the $15 bribe to remove them is garbage - especially considering that this device is only worthwhile if you get if for really cheap, (3) the browser it comes with is horrible and it doesn't allow you to download Google chrome, (4) the battery life is ridiculous, and it seems to struggle to charge with any cords other than the one it came with. I used it a few times as a screen for Jackbox games - for anyone who doesn't know what that means it's only responsibility was staying on while we use our cell phones to play a game. It couldn't even do that. When I submitted my return request, Amazon offered me $11 to keep it. I considered it, but it got on my nerves so much I decided to send it back anyway. I got another Android device that was about $70 and am sad that I sent that one back before knowing how poorly this one functions. _________________________________________________ Incredible device. After discovering Amazon Luna, I wanted a device that I could game on & didn’t want it to be the ones I use for work so I bought a couple tablets to test out. This one was the winner and by a landslide. I was hesitant because all the reviews said the tablet was good for “light gaming” and I intended to play more graphically detailed games like Skyrim and Fallout. Let me tell you that the performance of those games on this tablet exceeded that of my MacBook, HP laptop, annd any Android tablet I tried. So impressive. Teeny complaint or really an FYI for people considering this for hardcore gaming (which is likely no one lol) - if you want to buy a controller that attaches to the device, it gets a little wonky bc the volume buttons are located where the external controller attaches. I made it work, and it’s 10x lighter and easier to use than a steam deck, but just be mindful of that when you look for a controller. I also bought the Luna controller and hated its guts lol but that’s also an option.

The initial set up was easy and the kindle is easy to use. The display is good and the readability is good. There are accessibility settings for the display and readability. I can't speak for the parental controls; I don't use them. I like the 8" display size, it's large enough for comfortable reading, but not so big that it's cumbersome.

This tablet works really well. Haven't had any problems yet. Thin and light weight and its perfect for my needs. No need to buy the flagship tabs.

The battery lasts a lot longer than the cheaper version tablets which is a great bonus. Crisp and clear screen, nice size. I would say the quality is great.

This tablet exceeded my expectations! The screen is clear and bright, and it’s very easy to use. It’s perfect for streaming, browsing, reading, and even light games. The size is just right—not too big or too small—and it feels comfortable to hold. Battery life has been great so far, lasting through the day without constant charging. For the price, this is an excellent value and does exactly what I need it to do. Highly recommend!

Works well
