Awesome low cost tablet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Fire HD 8 with 16MB ram on sale for $49.99 ($30 off sale and tax free day). My intent is to use it primarily to surf the internet while on the couch in front of the TV or in bed. If you've been using your cell phone to surf the internet at home this is a great solution for a more comfortable experience. Like others have stated, the Amazon Fire O/S is an Android flavor that Amazon modified and as such you can easily install the Google Playstore which allows you to download most of your favorite apps. You don't have to "hack" it to do this and installing the Google Playstore allows you to install the Chrome browser among other things. Basically, the Google apps and the Amazon Fire apps can coexist together so you don't have to remove any of the Amazon content or apps. Install Chrome, Gmail, Youtube, a nicer keyboard app and many Google apps as you like. Also, for those concerned that about the Amazon advertisements that show up ONLY ON THE LOCK SCREEN don't sweat it. No, you don't have to pay Amazon the extra $15 for an ad free lock screen. Simply call Amazon or open up a chat window with an Amazon rep and ask them to kindly remove the advertisements. It takes two minutes for them to do it remotely and apparently Amazon wants you to be a happy customer so they'll gladly do this for free. For $49.99 I'm very happy with the Amazon Fire HD 8. Lastly, I recommend the ZtoTop version of the case, the version with the built in handle that allows you to slide your hand in the backstrap to easily hold it without effort.

Nice Tablet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went into Best Buy fully intending to purchase a Kindle Paper White. On display right next to it though, was this nifty little tablet in 3 delicious colors. And the adorablly little matching cases too! So, for less money, you get to read, watch movies, play games (if that's what you like), surf..... I love this little cutie! Now, for under $80, don't expect a Samsung, but the truth is, the speakers truly out-perform any tablet I've used - including my Samsung Note 10. Watching a movie is great with beautiful sharp picture and true stereo sound with good bass. I read books and send myself articles to read later. Very comfortable on the eyes. Only thing I don't care for is the blue light filter. Not useful for me, just kind of orangey. Only other flaw is very minor - there is this light leak thing on the screen when switching between apps. No big deal and it seems to be true for all the Kindle fire tablets from their first introduction.

Great Device, Inexpensive but not Cheap
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'd been contemplating trying out an Amazon Fire for a while just to see if I'd recommend it to a friend as a reliable communications device. I was going to just spend $49 for the least expensive Amazon Fire but when I found this Fire HD on sale for $79 I grabbed it up. What a smart choice. Not only is it great for email (I'm using the Outlook client app) but texting too (I'm using the Verizon text app) it's great for watching movies and listening to music as well.

Great Tablet, A steal for the money paid
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.his is a great tablet for someone who already has a larger screen tablet, or a large screen convertible laptop computer as you can use them alternatively for different tasks that either require mobility and a small screen or more screen real estate for performing word processing, watching movies or handling other more serious than simple data consumption tasks.

Great for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I wasn't able to install Google Play Store I would not have picked up, but it's not too difficult to do so. I don't care about the potato spec camera because I have a decent camera on my phone. I would still prefer a higher DPI to make text clearer but even that aspect is not that bad. Usually speaker quality on such cheap products are bad but on this they are surprisingly nice. If on a hard surface the Dolby Atmos seems to do something with the sound, not sure how to describe it but if feels like a much wider soundstage. There's a YouTube video called "$80 Tablet vs $800 Tablet Review" that was the final straw in terms of convincing me. He dropped the tablet from a high distances onto a hard lamented floor, sometimes almost slamming it. The tablet was fine while the floor showed some damage. Perhaps there are some super demanding games that don't run well (I don't know I haven't checked), but for everything else it's does the job well enough.

Q: QuestionCan you download books from Amazon and be able to access them to read without internet and/or wifi?
Asked by Nann.
- A:Answer If you download a book, it should appear in your Kindle library and you can access it without any connection. One nice feature that I discovered is that since I have the Kindle app on my Samsung 7 phone and my PC, as well as the new Kindle Fire, I can access the library from any device. The best part is that they are synced so I don't lose my place no matter which device I read it on last.
