Really a very good product at a reasonable price. It comes with the Kindle app which is great for Ebooks. It’s nearly is fast as my phone for searching the internet. The 8’ screen is plenty big and it keeps the tablet compact.

We have 6 foster children and these budget friendly tablets help with learning. You can set time limits and playing hours. There is a parent app that controls what they can access. Only drawback is you can only set 4 profiles but the workaround is using the same profile on more than one tablet. The information for apps and games is only saved on the tablet that it is opened on. I recommend getting a screen protector and kid proof case.

I LOVE my Kindle Fire. I bought it primarily for reading ebooks and Kindle's paperwhite technology makes it easier on the eyes than reading on a phone or tablet. I added an after market strap and it's even more enjoyable now. It's lighter than my old Kindle Fire and just as good, of not better on color and graphics. I'm so glad I purchased mine.

The screen is good the color and size is nice. When viewing some movies it's good. For reading it's good. The bad thing is it drains the battery fast. You can watch at least one movie without having to charge it but that's about it. Even if you sideload Google Playstore you still cannot get a lot of things. For example,Mario Kart cannot be downloaded even if you sideload Google Playstore. You can't download Viki Rakuten and I'm sure there are many more apps that can't be downloaded. It has some games that are okay and the color is nice. Though you have to put it on the highest brightness setting in order to see movies and Youtube properly. I did sideload the Youtube because if you use the regular one that comes on the device you can't watch Youtube movies on it. Only with the sideload Youtube you can. Reading on it is very comfortable, I have several bible apps on it for studying and it's good for it. I do have Amazon Kids subscription and my son borrows it for kids games and he seems to like it. The speakers and sound is not really good on some videos. Some websites take forever to load, like Best Buy. I would only suggest to buy it when it's on sale.

Great tablet and value for the money. Highly functional and accessible to your favorite apps and streaming services. Screen could be brighter with more vivid detail but an excellent option verses the more expensive tablets. Would definitely recommend! FIRE.

Hello SaimaZ! Thank you for your feedback on the Fire HD 8 tablet. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing freezing issues that are causing frustration. Freezing problems can often be resolved through a few troubleshooting steps. First, ensure your tablet has a strong internet connection and that you're running the latest software version by going to Settings > Device Options > System Updates. Restart your tablet by holding the power button for 40 seconds, then pressing it again to turn it back on, which can clear temporary glitches. Check your available storage by going to Settings > Storage, as low storage can cause performance issues—consider removing unused apps, clearing app caches, or moving photos and videos to cloud storage or a microSD card. Close apps running in the background by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and swiping away unused apps. If freezing persists during specific app usage, try clearing that app's cache and data through Settings > Apps & Notifications > Manage All Applications, or uninstall and reinstall the problematic app. For persistent issues, you may need to perform a factory reset as a last resort (Settings > Device Options > Reset to Factory Defaults), though be sure to back up important data first. I hope these troubleshooting steps help resolve the freezing issues and improve your tablet's performance. <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/stratos-logos/logos/AmazonDevices.png" alt="AmazonDevices" title="AmazonDevices" style="display: block !important; margin-top: 2em !important; border: 1px solid #ccc !important; padding: 2px !important; background-color: white !important;" />

I picked up the Fire HD 8 (2024 release) mostly for simple, on‑the‑go entertainment, and it has genuinely exceeded my expectations. It’s lightweight, easy to hold, and the 8” HD display is crisp enough for reading, streaming, and browsing without straining my eyes. I love that it feels portable without feeling flimsy. The 3GB of memory keeps things running smoothly for everyday tasks, and the 32GB of storage is plenty for my apps and downloads — plus it’s nice knowing I can expand it if I ever need more space. The battery life has also been a pleasant surprise; I can take it with me throughout the day without constantly hunting for a charger. What I appreciate most is how simple and reliable it is. It’s not trying to be a high‑end powerhouse — it’s just a friendly, dependable tablet that does exactly what I need it to do. For reading, watching shows, checking emails, or relaxing with a game, it’s become my go‑to companion. If you’re looking for something affordable, portable, and genuinely enjoyable to use, this little Fire HD 8 is a wonderful choice.

The Fire HD 8 (2024 release) has exceeded my expectations in every way. The 8” HD display is bright, crisp, and perfect for streaming movies, reading, or browsing. The upgraded 3GB of memory makes everything feel noticeably smoother, and the 32GB of storage is plenty for apps, books, and downloads — plus it’s great knowing I can expand it if I ever need more space. What really stands out is how portable and lightweight it is. It’s the ideal size for travel, commuting, or just relaxing on the couch. Battery life has been excellent, easily lasting through a full day of mixed use. For entertainment on the go, this tablet hits the sweet spot between performance and value. If you’re looking for an affordable, reliable, and surprisingly powerful tablet, this Fire HD 8 is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

The Fire HD 8 tablet is excellent for its price. The screen is bright and clear, and it works smoothly for watching videos, reading, browsing, and light apps. Battery life is impressive and lasts easily through the day. It is lightweight and easy to carry, making it perfect for travel or relaxing at home. For this price range, the quality is surprisingly good. Packaging was secure and delivery was on time. If you want a reliable tablet without spending too much, this is a very smart buy.

One of the better bang for buck tablets you can get. Its decently spec'd, 6 core CPU, 3GB of RAM for the 32GB version. FireOS 8.3.x isn't current to Android OS and Amazon's Appstore is more limited than Google Play, but its hard to beat a 65-75 dollar price tag. Battery life is excellent and the tablet is great for reading & streaming. Display is decent, though only 1200x800. Not the greatest resolution but acceptable for something in this price range.

I bought this for my mother who was in desperate need of an upgrade. What made me choose this product over the other competitors was because of different reasons. 1.) Price: the price is unmatched and for what you get, you cant really complain. 2.) Battery Life: my mother watches shows/movies throughout the day, and becasue of the amazing battery life she only really needs to charge it every other day. 3.) Reliable/Sturdy: unlike other fragile tablets out there, i really like how this product feels and holds up to drops. Of course we have a case on it to extend the life of the tablet, but i just like the build better than the other options out there. 4.) Simplicity: its not the flashiest tablet out there, but it does what we need it to do. My mother can easily navigate through her tablet with ease and has no problems figure out how to use the other benefits it offers. Overall im very please with this purchase and i will most definitely be upgrading my daughters soon to another one down the road.

This is my second Fire tablet. I only use the Kindle app (an actual Kindle is too small for my liking). I don't check email or watch videos; it is strictly a "Kindle" to me. The screen is large and easy to read. I have never had a problem with either of my Fire tablets. Since I don't use it for other tablet-type activities, I am not sure how well videos and games work, but the Kindle app is top-notch.

Good size, colors vibrant, boots quickly. Amazon should dispense with the advertisements on bootup, this a vert irritating feature. Perhaps they could provide the ability to turn this irritating feature off.
