Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Kindle is the right size for travel, yet large enough to read. Love all the features and price!

This was an excellent choice. No one could beat the price or service we received at Best Buy. Always able to find what we need and the help we need from Best Buy associates.

Bought this for my 87 year old grandmother who wanted to be able to play games and read books from the library. My aunt lives with her and can help her use it so its perfect for that type of user. After playing with It, I would consider it for just about anyone other than a hardcore user that wants the latest and greatest tech. if you are tech saavy, you can do more with these Fire tablets than advertised.

Easy to use and has a lot of games and books available. Good memory and you can't beat the price!

My teenage son loves it. He take it where were he goes and communicates with my through wifi calling and U I don't pay a bill at all. he also plays games listens to music surf the web. Connects with friends from school through video chat also, an app with students from his classes to help with homework. Amazing! He has two of them he had updated to this one because it has more momery then the last and last one he had was giving him issues with the memory card and mother board. get insurance!

If you don't want or need something cheaper than an iPad but of quality, this is a great happy medium. The processor makes for a fluid ride with it. It's speedy. The Android Store gives you good app options and the Amazon ecosphere is everywhere here. The software is a touch buggy but it's still a great deal of a tablet. For a child, for something you want to use casually on a dime, it's recommended.

I've had my other Kindle Fire for 5-6 years. It's still working but slowing down. I bought the updated version while it was on sale. I love it! I play games on it, download books, check my email and facebook. It's like a portable mini computer and I wouldn't be without it. I like it better than other people's tablets and you can't beat the price. I bought some for gifts and everybody loves it! I'd recommend it to people of all ages.

I bought this tablet mostly for watching movies. I downloaded movies from Netflix and watch them during indoor bike training at the gym. I love the ability to expand the memory with a microSD card, which iPads do not. It's pretty fast and has all the features I need. I read kindle books with it as well. The drawback is that some apps are not compatible with this device. The iPad is definitely more powerful and compatible with many apps I use, but this is a great tablet for most of my current interests.

For real, you not going to get a better tablet this cheap. Great picture and sound, super durable (my 3 yr old has one and she puts it through the ringer) the only thing is it's LOADED with Amazon bloatware just a lot of apps you prolly will never use but they don't take up too much space but are immovable from the home screen. Also no google play store. But you get more than what you pay for with this tablet

Hadn't really checked into Kindles/tablets before. Does more than I expected it too, tho now I'm a little disappointed that it's a little limited to Amazon-related and approved stuff. The app store for the device is more limited even tho it uses a form of Android (which means no Flash also). But I'm mostly using it for reading, so I'm happy with it and would recommend it. The 8 was the perfect size for me, the 6 screen was too small for reading comfortably and the 10 was too big as a handheld.

This Kindle was purchased on the black friday sale. At the time I felt it was a steal at that price. The first tablet I purchased a few years ago was the original Kindle Fire, the following year I purchased an iPad mini and now have the iPad mini 4. As you may already know, the iPad does not have explandable memory. This Kindle can have expanded memory to 200GB so that was a good selling point for me. After setting this new Kindle Fire up, I noticed that viewing photos were not as clear as the original iPad mini even without retina display, and the color had a greenish-yellowish tint to it. Some may not notice this if they do not have something else to compare it to. I'm a pro photographer so this was quite unaceptable to me. I was not expecting perfection with the colors but people's skin tones appeared greenish as if they were Vulcans. I also like to read tech manuals and magazines of which many are in PDF format. The Kindle will read this format but the Kindle Fire after all these years still cannot display the cover art from pdf books, etc.; it displays an acrobat pdf document logo instead. If you have a large library of pdfs you have to read through the document titles instead of being able to select by seeing the cover of the book. That was enough for me, I've been spoiled by the ease of use of the iPad and the display with accurate colors. Back to the store for a prompt refund it went. Overall..still a good deal but if you are used to an iPad for the reasons I am..you may be disappointed.

The charge that came with it didn't work, but I had a spare one. Overall it works fine, the resolution is not perfect but can't complain for the low price paid.

I bought this as a cheap alternative to an old, slow, iPad 2, until I could spring for the iPad Pro. Got it as a Black Friday deal, so it was more than worth it. Was able to add some missing apps that make it even better than I thought it could be, and having Amazon Prime makes it an inexpensive and handy media device. I carry it in my bag at all times without having to worry about it's value. Can't beat it for the price.

Its fast and responsive getting on the internet and great for reading books online as well.

i was surprised buy how light and compact this was but still strong enough to do what i needed.

It’s a great tablet made by Amazon. Most of the time I’m using it to watch Netflix and YouTube. But when it comes to web browsing, the tablet slows down significantly.

Thanks to a knowledgeable, low-pressure salesperson, I was ready to buy my first tablet. This one was the right price (on sale) and I have not been disappointed. Every few days I learn more ways to use it besides checking e-mails & checking out library books & audio books. It stays charged for days, even with regular use. I recommend it as an inexpensive and very satisfactory alternative to more expensive tablets.

My nephews love to play with my phone. Now as anyone who has been around small humans knows they have an astounding ability to perpetually have something sticky on their hands. However, if its a rare case where they don't they will probably drop the device from the lack of said stickum. The kindel has come to my rescue as it has everything they need to be entertained. And best of all it lacks the anxiety inducing price tag for that moment when the kids demonstrate Murphy's law in action.

its fast, it has good lighting. its got the 16gb space, best gift ive bought for a bookreader.

I absolutely love my kindle 8! Great picture, storage & sound. Can't live without my kindle!
