Really only wanted a kindle for downloading and reading books whilst traveling overseas.
Seems to be OK so far, battery life seems good, relatively simple to operate, nice clear screen. My wife bought a Nook at the same time and I have to say downloading books for that seems far easier and less complicated than the Kindle Fire

I purchased three of these. They are great little tablets for beginners or children. They have been dropped with a case on many times. They are durable. The only downside is no Google play store.

Works great and it is an easy device to navigate. Very happy with screen quality. Only downfall is speakers are not loud enough to play in car and be able to hear audio book while driving.

Good For a Cheap Tablet

Tablets have come a long way. This is much better than my piece of junk nextbook. For the 70-75 dollars, I bought this for it is great and stays on wifi much better than my old tablet. It is small enough to travel with and browses much faster online than what I used to use. The sound quality is not bad.... and I will also give a spoiler that neither style of apple earbuds will work with this. I have some cheap earbuds that will work with the fire.

I'll update this after Christmas but I read many reviews when purchasing ANYTHING. Surprised to having read about many problems with the Fire 8. That's why I'm going with the reliable 7. Its a good starting tablet for the wife and she mentioned it to me. Went with the higher storage 16gb over 8 even though you can buy micro sd cards up to 128gb now. Picked up a case at BB (1/2 price) and a micro sd (32gb).Just wait till Christmas morn now

Perfect Tablet for my grandkids. Easy for them to use as the parent can set up controls on this tablet. ABC Mouse can be downloaded for preschool kids which is a plus. Purchased 4 one for each of my grandchildren so there is no more fighting of tablets. Great find! Thank you Best Buy. Also I purchased the insurance for these tablets because you know how little ones are. Overall everyone was very happy at Christmas

Was looking around for a good cheap tablet and this was the best one I could find especially because Best Buy was having a sale so with the Fire, a case, a stylus and a MicroSD card I only spent a little over a $100. I've been using it just about every day since I got it in December and I've not had any problems with it at all

This was a great upgrade for me. My previous kindle didn't have enough storage, and now I can add more storage.

Great entry level tablet for an older kid or someone getting a tablet for the first time. They are light, fairly sturdy and don't break the bank. Plus Amazon has a ton of content and apps available for the fire. Not fast, Not sleek, but perfect for finding out if you are a tablet kind of person or not.

I bought two of these for two of my children. The parental controls are great and I can easily control their access to content. The ability to make them do something educational like read for 30 min before playing games is awesome. This tablet does everything I wanted it to do.
