Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's fast on the web. It's light, compact, and easily portable. It's affordable and reliable and can be expanded for memory. It does everything I need and want. It's the best buy for a web tablet and it's quick. I love mine.

We caved out of pure exhaustion and purchased Our 10 yr old son who just had to have it because its soooo unfair that other kids his age have iPhones and iPads, mac books, Nintendo switch, ps4, xbox one, etc and he doesn't and like who doesn't buy their kids items that cost 100s of dollars, like totally! So we are the absolute worst most uncool parents ever because he didnt have such luxuries. So we got him this. Keeps him busy and I won cool points . TADA!!

I have used a Kindle and Kindle Fire since they first came out and prefer them over a laptop or phone for searching ang playing games. They are the perfect size and are capable of much more than you can imagine. They have the capability of a full computer with excel, word, etc., installed with camera, an assortment of games, face time, skype, phone, etc. Once you use, you will definitely be impressed with the capability. This is my 3rd one and the durability is amazing.

Wanted a table that would allow a specific third party software to run. Also required a specific fit. My 7 inch kindle fire was a little small and my 10 inch kindle fire was way to big. This is exactly what I required.

Graphics are great. Screen is a nice size. Battery life so far is fine. Girlfriend uses it alot

Absolutely love this tv!! The quality of the pic is great ,fit perfectly on stand. The ease of setup was amazing. The room isn’t huge, but it really works.

I have two of these tablets. I have my grandchildren use them for ABC Mouse and watching Netflix. No issues so far.

Fire HD 8 is a great tablet love the screen very bright and clear functions on the tablet are awesome I recommend this tablet.

WORKS PERFECTLY AS PER PRICE RANGE. VERY NICE!! VERY GOOD!!

I bought this equipment for a gift a mother (elderly lady) and the person was delighted. The most important thing that can take you wherever you go because it is an.ideal soze. I recommend it 100%.

The item stopped working within a month of purchase date. The device lost its charging ability. The device still look like new but out of sevice.

If you do a bit of research and know what to expect (there are enforced adverts which you have the option of removing at a cost & out-of-the-box it's not part of the regular Android app ecosystem) it's potentially a bargain. I use it exclusively for reading pdfs in Airplane Mode to save power. Battery life is brilliant - when left in standby the battery drops only around 1% per day. In use, maybe 5% for an hour of reading. It's light and a great size for holding in one hand. The screen is "good enough": it's not going to impress your friends and family, but it is perfectly fine for reading small text. It's not terribly bright, so if you're planning to use it for watching videos outdoors you might want to check one out in-store before buying. It can also be a bit sluggish switching between apps - if this was my smartphone being used for everything it would be very frustrating. For a single-purpose device (just for reading or watching videos) where you're not switching between apps or typing much, I think it's totally acceptable. The alternative of an iPad mini would probably do everything faster, with a nicer, brighter screen, but at around ten times the price I would be too scared of breaking it or losing it to ever take it out of the house. Instead, I throw the Fire tablet in my backpack with no case and use it all the time. If it ever breaks, I'll just get another. Totally worth it!

This is an excellent tablet. When you buy Amazon tablets, it should be known you’re NOT getting an Android tablet. You’re getting Fire OS. But, you can still get Google apps on this tablet by downloading an APK of the Google Play store (which doesn’t root it or mess with warranty). It was between the Fire 7 or this one, & I opted for the extra price for more storage, better screen, & bigger size. I bought this tablet at Best Buy to take with me on the go rather than my iPad Mini. This is an amazing little thing. It runs fast, has a decent screen, is responsive, & has a great battery life. Yes, it has ads on the lockscreen, but they don’t bother me. I use this tablet for drawing & it actually is very good for it. I also use it to watch YouTube videos, although the speaker is extremely weak (not a huge trade off for me, I use headphones the majority of the time). Bluetooth connects great. Has a decent display, could be better, but it’s a budget tablet. You could technically get 2 Fire 7s for the price of this, but this is worlds better. I see no reason to go to the 10 inch unless you want a bigger screen. This is a great tablet. Absolutely nothing to complain about except a subpar speaker.

So far I think its a pretty nice tablet it's a good size, easy to figure out, it does all stuff i need it to do and then some very well. I think it holds a good charge at least I haven't had any issues yet. The camera quality is not really that great but I don't think they are with most tablets in general so that's not a big issue. Overall I like it and I recommend this tablet to others.

I got this Kindle FIre 8 HD to replace a Fire 7. I was curious how much difference the larger screen size actually seems. Even though it is only one inch difference, it seems a lot more. It is quick and easy to use for reading email, looking a facebook, or watching on-line videos. The screen is very high resolution and has really vivid colors for watching videos. I can watch and listen to sports out in the garage or wherever, too. Also, it is easy to setup for other wireless networks, too. Very please, especailly since I purchased on sale from Best Buy for only $49! Well worth it. Hope it will last a long time. For my purposes, a lot better value than an iPad, especially since I can easily and cheaply add additional memory using a micro SDcard.

Disclaimer, I only use the Kindle for ebooks, both kindle format and PDF format. Nothing else, so this review is only geared towards someone who only uses the tablet as a powerful book. Great tablet, very cheap cost wise but quality item. Lots of memory and if you have an SD card, you can store even more. very fast and effective for reading both indoors and outdoors. The tablet is very responsive, easy to use, and sensitive screen that allows you to quickly flow through the screens and options. However the tablet is not perfect, part of the reason why they can offer it for cheap is that they will put ads as your lockscreen. Meaning that the lock screen is usually an add for a game or their Amazon coin stuff, have in mind that these only come up when you hit the power button after your tablet is on sleep. So to me, it does not bother me at all, it does not seem invasive, but i can see how this would annoy people. you can remove the ads for 15$ . I still recommend it for reading books, its reliable and easy to use.

First, the positive side. I purchased a Samsung tab A 8" before this one more than twice the price, I was nearly shocked it was not HD and has only ONE speaker with small sound, not even mention stereo. That's most important yet basic for a tablet to read, watch, and listen. Only camera is better and you get Google play store. But who really use tablet camera at home? Smart phones have much better camera now. Amazon app store is OK for me to live with. Of course I returned Samsung tab and bought this one for less than half the price with HD display and two speakers of stereo sound. I almost feel people are fooled to buy into Samsung's name. And even gave high ratings! I assume they never used HD display and two speaker stereo sound. Given above said of products and price, still there are a lot of disappointments. Especially because I have a Fire HD 7" used more than 5-6 years. Now let's go to negative side. In general, the new HD 8" tab has no any improvements from my many year old HD 7". With some features only stayed same while a lot even getting worse except screen is bigger. More details here compare my HD 7": What remain same, CPU, RAM, Storage. Display about same but brightness is lower have to adjust to high end for a new tablet. Touch screen is dull less responsive, you have to TAP rather than TOUCH, bit annoying. Although still has two speakers stereo, but sound is too small low volume have to adjust to high end. Very small round holes at speaker opening instead of longer opening on my HD 7" which sound is much louder and full only used half volume for watching movies has more room if I want to listen music. I was actually quite amazed so small speakers can play such loud and beautiful music. The cameras are poorer even though I don't need to use. Still 2mp front and rear are too low now a days. 2mp front and 5 rear are minimal I think as was HD 7". Typing gets more difficult because keyboard not respond to touch but TAP little harder. One big very useful feature is missing, my HD 7" has voice input for typing ten times faster but I can't find it on new HD 8". I remember Fire tab said can cast Youtube only to smart TV but I am unable to link up to my TV. Not sure if they dropped it. One thing still same but I hope can change. It's more convenient and handy to recharge the tablet from bottom when you hold tablet upright instead from top port. Maybe more not in my mind right now. Many people might never use Fire HD 7" before to fully understand my comments above. For this price and products, I really can't complain. On the other hand, it is a pity and regret that new HD 8" is not even keep up same quality level as HD 7" many years ago. Let alone upgrade. I wish Amazon will see/ read my review. I was more satisfied and amazed of my many year old HD 7".

I bought this Fire 8 Tablet for my Fiancé for her birthday and she LOVES IT! Keep in mind we own Apple products and my fiancé loves her Fire 8 HD Tablet. The HD Screen is great, it has great sound, the battery life is good, it has expandable memory (Apple iPads Do not have expandable memory) and it’s well made. The Amazon Fire software works very well and we haven’t noticed any bugs or glitches at all. If you don’t mind some ads from Amazon, (we don’t mind them at all), this Fire tablet is an incredible value. If you have an Amazon Prime account, this is THE tablet for you! Buy it and LOVE IT!!!

Looked at multiple tablets and readers, great size, easy to hold, fast, quality picture and color, able to expand memory, and love the price compared to others. Not 5 stars only because, the sync didn't work properly at first. Software issue, not hardware.

I had my Kindle Fire for several years and decided I needed to replace it with a newer device. Best Buy offered a sale of an upgraded model with a larger screen , more storage, and the latest operating system. The sale units apparently sold very quickly but the model I was interested in had several available. The upgrade has a great display, amp!e storage, is easy to use, has a fast processor, and meets all of my tablet needs. Was easy to set up and I am really pleased with my new tablet. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great value highly functional tablet for for reading ebooks, newspapers, use for email and social media , tv viewing , music, and watching videos.
