Excellent, what a great surprise!
I had owned a previous Amazon Fire tablet, maybe the 7 inch from a few years ago. It just sat in a drawer because it was basically useless, very frustrating to use. It was just way too slow, had poor battery life and just didn’t do anything great. I thought I would try again with one of the 2024 models, the Fire HD 8. What an awesome surprise! This new model is actually quite nice, awesome in fact. It’s slimmer, has a great screen, all of my apps from my previous model were installed automatically, and the tablet is just super fast compared to before. I can watch videos on it just fine, I don’t need it for photos so the 2MB camera is OK. I have the 4GB memory and 64GB storage. It’s plenty big enough. I am very happy with this and the price was incredible. Even when it’s not on sale it’s an excellent buy.

Basic, but totally worth it.
I find myself reaching for this tablet more often than my Galaxy TAB 10 Ultra or even my iPad Pro 11 due to their size and weight. I can just hold it in one hand. Sure, the experience is pretty basic, but that is its charm. At 8″ the screen has enough PPI to make video content pretty clear. The size makes it much easier to hold with one hand. By the way, YouTube looks great in the Silk browser in my opinion. I appreciate the 3.5mm jack as well as Bluetooth connectivity. I find it just as useful as a hub for my home and an entertainment portal in limited spaces such as my kitchen counter. The speakers arenât great, but theyâre good enough in a pinch.While I prefer my Kindle PW, the reading experience is not that bad. Honestly, I like it better for color content such as comics and magazines since the colors pop more and frame focus works smoothly.The browsing experience is decent. Keeping in mind that the memory limitations do not allow for many apps and tabs to be opened at the same time, I have had no issues in doing any browsing and even some productivity tasks.When itâs all said and done, I am quite pleased with the overall experience. The tablet may not be as premium, but managing expectations and considering that âbetterâ tablets cost astronomically much more, this is certainly a bargain -especially when itâs on special.

The Hibiscus Fire HD 8
I already had this tablet for three days now I am in love with my HD 8 tablet that I said I was going to use for reading and some movie watching or watching shows. The color is beautiful and the weight is pretty good(I have mines in a case). The tablet been working very well when it come to using the kindle app and YouTube videos or Netflix. I heard about the battery that it didnât last long but when I read I put the tablet on the airplane mode and lower the brightness to make the screen to match the level I wanted in and helps the battery last a little longer. I love the big screen of the 8 inch to read my books and love I can set it up the way I want to. I will recommend to any who wants to read books and listen to audiobooks and have a few apps for entertaining.

Missing Apps in Appstore
I wanted a 8 inch tablet to replace an Apple Mini iPad that’s over 10 years old and was no longer being supported by Apple. I wanted a tablet of about the size of the mini iPad when I saw an announcement for the new Amazon 8″ Fire tablet at a price considerably lower that replacing my mini iPad. With the mini iPad could download apps that supported Kindle, Nook and Kobo reading aps and well as other entertainemnt apps like MLB, Prime, Netflix, etc.When I got it Amazon table i went to the Appstore, typed in Barnes and Noble and saw list of apps for downloading B&N books. When I click on the app name listed in the Appstore the app that I clicked on was not there. I tried all the listed apps with Barnes and Noble in the app name. None led me to the Barnes and Noble app. The was very misleading. When I tried searching of Kobo, I got nothing back. I was disappointed that the Amazon Appstore did not have these apps. The Fire tablet is unlike the Apple Mini. With the Apple mini, I was able add Barnes and Noble, Kindle and Kobo apps. I was disappointed that Amazon did not support those apps. If i were looking for the Amazon Fire table to replace a non Amazon table, I would want to make sure the apps on the current table are available, not just listed, in the Amazon Appstore before being the Fire tablet.I read that there was a way to add the Android Playstore to the Fire tablet but some apps downloaded from Playstore may not run on on the Fire tablet as the Amazon OS is not the exactly same as the Android OS.However. the table is a great entertainment tablet. The screen is sharp, very bright and a pleasure to watch streaming shows and movies. The sound is very good. The tablet is very easy to hold. For me it’s the prefect size for daily use and traveling. It easily connects to wifi and supports a dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards. It also has a 3.5mm jack for connecting listening devices as well as bluetooth for wireless headphone devices. It great for reading Kindle books. It comes with 32GB storage and has an ability to add up to 1TB storage in the micro usb card. You can also free up some of the items stored in internal memory to the usb card.In summary, the new Amazon 8″ tablet is great tablet for entertainment and reading Kindle books and has plenty of Appstore apps for playing games, entertainment and other apps. It may not have some apps if you switch from an Android table to the Amazon Fire tablet.

Solid performer and value.
The HD 8 powered up and was configured with ease. The lock screen ad is not intrusive. Screen quality is excellent and is responsive. A nice tablet.

Itâs a Kindle Fire!
I love the 8â kindle tablet. Its size for me is a convenient to slip in my purse or tote bag. The quality, speed, design are all good. However, I do find the battery life to be lacking. It seems I am always having to charge it.

love it
I am a 100% kindle lover. so every couple years i buy a new one. This is the lastest model and i must say it is the fastest. I had heard that Amazon wasnât going to make kindles anymore. I hope thatâs just a rumor. I would be heart broken if itâs true.I bought a 10â table from a different company⦠i donât even use it. It doesnât compare to my kindle HD fire.the pixel quality is outstanding. the color quality is the highest you can see if you want to watch movies or such. personally i use mine to read and surf.for the price you canât go wrong.just because itâs not an Ipad doesnât mean itâs not good.
