Q: QuestionCan you read out in the sunlight with this tablet and be able to see the screen well?

Asked 4 years ago by Nonnie.

• A:Answer Hello, Nonnie! The Fire HD 8 does not have a glare-resistant screen. If you are looking for a device that is great for reading in the sunlight, I would suggest looking into a Kindle devices. They are made specifically for reading, so they have a glare free screen and extended battery life. There are three different Kindle devices--the Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, and Kindle Oasis. I hope that information helps. Have a great day!

Q: QuestionI use my Fire to read and listen to Kindle books, both Audible and regular text. Will the new Fire allow me to listen to books read mechanically without Audible?

Asked 4 years ago by Petya.

Text-to-Speech is not allowed by all rights holders. 1. While reading, tap the center of the screen, and then tap Aa (Settings). 2. Tap More Options, and then tap On next to Text-to-Speech. 3. Tap the screen to show the reading toolbar again, and then tap the Play image of the play button button next to the reading progress bar to hear the text read aloud.
