Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice size screen, clear and clean picture with plenty of storage

Its a perfect tablet for kids, battery life is amazing. It can also be used to do browsing and watching movies on Amazon Prime. Works very well with all amazon apps, you can read books, watch videos. Note : If you are looking for installing apps from google play store, its not supported out of the box. However you can hack it

Easy to use, size is just right. Easy for my wife to travel with and carry in her purse.

This is the third Fire we've purchased, and Amazon finally made this level memory-upgradable. That has made all the difference. I bought Fire tablets for use as a 'kid tablets', for which they work great...until you run out of memory. 8GB is practically nothing these days (I remember when having 64kb was a HUGE upgrade to my Atari!) so being able to toss in a memory card give my kids much more utility.

We like the battery endurance. The new 8" screen is great too.

Nice size screen. Very fast easy to use nice size nice screen

It may be cheap but this is a great tablet and works awesome.

I am very happy with this Amazon tablet. I purchased it for business purposes, as well as recreational, and it works great for both. I did get an SD card for more memory. Also, if I would have bought directly from Amazon, there would've been a 1 month wait. However, I was able to order from Best Buy online, and pick it up that very day!!!

Price was right, great tablet for playing games and reading

First of all, this is not an iPad or a more expensive android tablet, but it's a very good tablet for the money. I own an iPad Pro and iPad Air 2, yet this tablet has a place in my home. If you're buying for kids, I wouldn't buy anything more expensive than this. Good screen, fast enough, and amazon's underground free apps are a huge plus.

Mother needed something since her tablet had died. Was lot easier for her to learn than her old table. She does lots more with Kindle than she did with tablet

It's perfect for its intended purpose. If you want to check email, surf the web, or watch movies then it's fine for that.

This is an awesome tablet. it is fast with great pictures!

Purchased two Fire8 tablets for my children. My son loves it for reading books from library and my daughter loves listening to audio books. They both were not sure they would like the tablet but they really love them.

Great tablet. Picture is super sharp and so easy to read.

Honestly there's nothing especially bad about this Kindle except for what they took away. It turns on, it works, it loaded all the old material, but the rest was shocking. My old Kindle Fire HD 8.9 died after years or pretty heavy use. After 5 years I was interested in seeing the updated products and was astounded to find that Amazon had basically taken this tablet backward 10 years -- slower processor, substantially downgraded screen quality, cheap plastic feel. The screen resolution compared to the 5 year old unit was painful to use. I wish I had been smart enough to stock up on a couple of the HDX models whose screens were even better than the IPAD Retinas. I returned this dinosaur after 2 weeks -- while it may be OK for a 10-12yo who isn't responsible to take care of a real tablet or as a disposable for traveling, this isn't a serious machine for an adult

I absolutely love this tablet!!! If I had bought this prior to buying my Kindle Paperwhite e-reader, I would have not purchased the e-reader at all, however it's nice to have just a designated e-reader device. The size is perfect! I am actually going to use this device instead of my 17" laptop to check my emails during the day.

I had an Apple Mini Ipad that was an older version and ran very slow due to older version OS I was told. I bought the Fire to replace it since I mostly use it for gaming through my WIFI. It was way cheaper and does everything I wanted and is very fast. No issues waiting for uploads. It has all the other features as well like weather, camera , and I have started to use Alexa and that is great.

Original purchase for Amazon Fire HD 8 32 GB model put on backorder and cancelled by local Elk Grove CA Best Buy store. Purchased Amazon Fire HD 8 16 GB model from local Best Buy store. A total of $29.99 Sales Tax, Fees & Surcharges were not returned from original Order Number: BBY01-800223005180. Why was the $29.99 not returned? The Amazon Fire HD 8 16 GB (6th Generation) works good.

I bought this Amazon Fire HD8 as a Christmas present for my wife. It is the second tablet I have given to her over the past 5 years. She LOVES it! It goes wherever she goes. The Fire is more than portable and so easy to use. As the saying goes: "A Happy Wife Means A Happy Life". I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Fire to anyone!
