Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet (newest model), 8” HD Display, 4GB memory, 64GB, responsive and vibrant, designed for portable entertainment, Black

I love my new Kindle! It's just the right size and not too heavy. It doesn't stay charged as long as my old one did and takes up to 3 hours to charge but as long as I'm on top of that, it serves me well.

Wonderful tablet, beautiful I just had it a few hours but so far like I say it's wonderful, Update just the right size. Any bigger and I couldn't hold it up to read on it. At 75 years old I'm not as strong as I used to be, But this is just the right size for me. The 7" Tablet Was a bit to small, But I think the 10" would have been too big. I have a Screen protector on it. My granddaughter put it on the minute I got it In the mail. She wanted to make sure it was protected. And reading on it is just wonderful I've adjusted the spelling size and the color and I can't ask for anything better I don't think. Very happy I would buy again, Very happy with my purchase. Amazon kindles are just wonderful inventions And the fire gets you so much more than just a book, in fact it gives you a whole library.

Love this little tablet. I use it in my drum room while playing drums. I am able to to play drumless tracks hooked into my mixer with no problem. I cant speak on anything else its good for though lol

For their lacking RAM these hold terrific value and one of the best build qualities. Their batteries last a long time. I have had two Fire 8.9" HDX tablets and one still here that still holds its charge. It was expensive for its time but had everything except a micro SD card slot. I have also had the Fire HD 8, and two Fire HD8+. I had a Fire 10 and rarely used it about five years ago. I now have the Fire 11 Max and keyboard case for it, and still have a Fire HD 8+ 2022 version. I also have three Surface tablets, a Go 2 m3, a Surface Pro 7+ LTE, and a Surface Pro 9 i7/1TBSSD/16GB RAM. As well two S9 FE Samsung Galaxy Tablets one 5g model. No I do not do Apple anything. They are fine for less techie types. NO iPads, no iPhones, certainly no Macs without touch screens or SD card storage. I do not want to reconfigure my OS to get the Playstore on my Fire tablets because they then lose updates or updates revert them or brick them. I can change the OS version but why? I can spend a tiny bit more for Android tablets and have it all. I took off one star because they still do not allow the Google play store nor allow Haystack News which I have on my S9 Android tablets, my Pixel 9 phones and my windows computers and tablets. I do have Haystack News on all our Fire TVs but can't download it or get it from the Amazon store. If their 8" tablets are 1280 x 800 (189 ppi) not full HD like the Fire Max 11 I have. I believe if the 8" had full HD at least 1920X1080, 6GB RAM and 32 GB storage with their micro SD card slot, and the Play store and Haystack news I would ditch all my other tablets except my Surface devices and buy HD8 current models.. Now that would be a winner. Do that (Full HD, 6GB RAM, Make a deal with the Google play store, we are not "idjits." Amazon's Tablet UI is Android produced by Google! But with Amazon held back by Amazon. I have seen Chinese tablets with those specs for ~$100.00 - $$125. If Amazon did that with their Fire tablets, especially the 8", I believe they would take over the market. And I love the kid proof sponge cases with the built in stand. When I fall asleep reading and wake up on top of them, none have broken or had any issues. I may end up buying a replacement battery for my old 8.9" HDX, open it up and change the battery. It is a royal PITA with a good chance of screen breakage, or getting a defective battery.

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.

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.

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!

Kindle as usual works great, use off and on daily, love the large screen and detail.
