Q: QuestionDoes it show ads even when no using an app but the tablet itself?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Great question! Yes, this model does come with lockscreen ads (also called "Special Offers"). When you wake up or turn on the tablet, you'll see a full-screen ad on the lock screen before you swipe to unlock. You may also see sponsored content tiles on the home screen in the "Continue" and "Discover" rows. These ads only appear on the lock screen and home screen — they do not show up inside apps or while you're actively using the tablet for streaming, reading, or browsing. If you'd prefer an ad-free experience, you can remove the ads by paying a one-time fee through your Amazon account under Manage Your Content and Devices. Hope that helps!

Q: QuestionLooking for a great tablet for my five year-old and eight-year-old to play games on download games and YouTube something that doesn’t run hot fast and good quality for a kid to play games and watch YouTube
Asked by Nana.
- A:Answer Hi Nana, All Amazon Kids tablets are excellent options for your children. Although for your 5-year-old: Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Tablet: It features a chunky, drop-proof bumper case with an integrated kickstand. The hexa-core processor handles basic games easily, and it stays perfectly cool in smaller hands. For your 8-year-old: Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro 2023: This version comes with a much slimmer, "older kid" case. It features a faster octa-core processor and a vibrant 10.1-inch Full HD screen that is much better suited for 8-year-old gaming and Youtube. Hope this helps with your decision. Thank you

Q: QuestionCan battery be replaced
Asked by BryanM.
- A:Answer Hello, BryanM! Yes, the battery in an Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet can be replaced, but it is not designed to be user-replaceable by standard consumer means. Amazon does not offer an official battery replacement service or design the back cover to open easily. the battery is covered by Amazon’s warranty, but there is a major catch regarding how they handle it. Because Amazon does not perform standalone battery replacements for Fire tablets, they will not swap the battery out and send your exact tablet back to you. Instead, if your battery is genuinely defective and you are within your warranty period, Amazon will replace the entire tablet with a new or refurbished equivalent model. Standard Fire HD 8 / HD 8 Plus: Typically comes with a 1-year limited warranty. I hope this info helps!

Q: QuestionDoes the Fire tablet come with WeatherBug? If not, can I download the app?
Asked by KateH.
- A:Answer Hi KateH Yes, you can install WeatherBug on an Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet, but the official support situation has changed recently, and the straightforward way through the Amazon Appstore is no longer available for Fire tablets. The official WeatherBug app listing on the Amazon Appstore states: "As of 11/25/2025, we are no longer supporting the WeatherBug app built for Amazon Fire Tablets." This means the dedicated Fire tablet version has been discontinued and is likely no longer downloadable or updated directly from the Amazon Appstore for tablets (though a separate version exists for Fire TV devices). You can check the Amazon Appstore directly on your tablet Hope you have a great day.

Q: QuestionDo you need to pay more money to get it running?
Asked by Sherri.
- A:Answer Hello Sherri, The Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet only requires an Amazon Account to get started. As far as applications go to add to the device that can vary. Some applications such as Prime or Netflix are free to download, but require a subscription to access content. Some apps are free to download and use without any sort of subscription. It all depends on what you would like to use the tablet for. For example, I use my tablet when I travel for work. I have Amazon Prime, HBO Max, and Netflix for movies, The apps are all free to download and I pay for the subscription services. I also use Pandora and Tidal for music, same thing as the movie streaming services. I do have several games and apps that I downloaded for free as well with no subscription charges. I can access my email, play card games like Poker and Solitaire and more in depth games like Clash of Clans. These services are free. To answer your question in a shorter way, if you have an existing Amazon Account, there are no additional charges to get the Tablet working. If you don't have an Amazon Account, the device will help you set one up, that is free as well! I hope this answers your question!
