Questions & Answers

If you just want to read which is better? Kindle or Amazon Tablet
Quite honestly it’s the same thing. You can subscribe to Kindle and read all you want for a small monthly price. Personally I. Download most of my reading from our public library.

Can you use this to read books
Yes you can as long as you download your method of receiving books. I have Kindle and basically it is all I use the Fire 8 for, although you can do so many other things on it.

Does this Fire version have the text to speech feature for books? Does this Fire version include white text on a black background? Does this Fire version have a rotate screen option?
Hello jm, Yes, the Fire HD 8 Tablet can do all of these things. First of all, in order to get Text to Speech on books in the Kindle App, I have attached the steps below: While reading, tap the center of the screen, and then tap the menu icon Aa in the upper right corner. Tap More, and then tap the switch next to Text-to-Speech to turn it on. In your Kindle book, tap the screen to show the progress bar, and then tap the Play button next to the progress bar to hear the text read aloud. To increase or decrease the reading speed of the Text-to-Speech voice, tap the Narration Speed icon. You can listen to the Text-to-Speech voice through the external speakers on your device or through your earphones plugged into the headphone jack. In order to Display White Text on a Black Background, while in the document you are viewing, you can tap the middle of the page and the options toolbar will appear. Then, You can click on the "Text" Button which will give you the options to change the size, color and font of text.This will allow you to change to a white text on a black background. The Fire HD 8 Tablet has the capability to rotate the screen as well. If you would like to Lock or Unlock screen rotation you can Swipe down from the top of the screen. You will see an Image stating if the tablet is in Portrait or Landscape mode. When you hold down on this button, A menu will come up which will allow you to turn on or turn off the screen rotation. I hope this helps!

Can you download apps from Google Play store or what OS is this tablet
No, you cannot download Google Play app on this tablet according to the Gek Squad employees at my local Best Buy. To download the “free” Trend Micro Mobile Security antivirus security (free for 3 months as advertised when I bought the tablet) as the directions on downloading and installing instruct you to download Google Play app. I tried thru the Amazon play app, and it is incompatible, or so the Geek Squad told me. I took it personally into the store to ask because I can’t get it downloaded. It is incompatible also with the web root service I have with the Geek Squad and was told that I don’t really need either as this tablet “isn’t really considered a computer.” So why does it say on the Best Buy online website you 3 mo. of free Trend Micro Mobile Security? Two people in the Geek Squad area told me this when I took it into the store for help. I think they just really didn’t care, or else it was false advertising.
