Customer Ratings & Reviews

Product worked as described. No issues with performance, and it was a simple setup! Perfect for web browsing and videos.

I absolutely love my Fire tablet. Great size, lots of space and a great reader. I can't recommend this product enough.

Amazon makes their Kindle Fire HD better. Got this version 8 for my daughter and she can do everything she needs, from taking pictures/videos to surfing the net, watching movies or playing games. A bit limited if you're a power user though

Smartphone works on the job for me, but with the Fire I can read instructions and worksheets. It is a useful tool for connecting with both friends and colleagues. 8-inches is the right size for holding in hand and carrying with you. Gives me the information, beats printing everything out, or carrying around a large laptop.

I wanted a tablet that was easy to use that I could access my email, internet and stream shows/movies! It's perfect!

I have an original Kindle Fire and am really enjoying my new updated version. Larger screen and very easy to navigate.

Not very fancy, but not slow. If you have Amazon Prime, you have a access to a great library of TV shows and Movies for free. Same goes for free book rentals. The Amazon App store is not so great, lots of apps are outdated but still work. Just not the latest versions you would expect. But the Amazon Underground appstore does offer free access to games you would normally pay for. It's decent for it's price and a good deal if you don't want anything fancy.

Purchased for my mom to read ebooks, great performance, screen looks good, easy to use. Very happy with this purchase.

I purchased two of these as Christmas presents for my children. I had been researching child friendly tablets with robust controls to keep them away from undesirable content. I found the 7" Fire Kids Edition, but after looking over the specs and reviews, I found myself unsure of it. I was mostly interested in the FreeTime application, so I did some research on that and found that it was available on other Fire models also. I came across the new Fire HD8, which had more power, a better screen, and far better battery life at a very affordable price point. I gave them a shot and I'm glad I did. I have the Fire HD8's locked into FreeTime mode, so the only activities that can be done are ones that I approve of, but if I want to, I can pick up either of them and unlock them to access Netflix/Amazon Prime or anything else I desire. I currently have reading goals set up that they must achieve before they are able to access videos or games, and those are limited to X amount of time per day. FreeTime also has a bedtime feature which disables/enables the use of the tablets during designated times, which is amazing. The hardware itself is exceptional. The screen resolution is excellent, it's very responsive, and the battery life is spectacular! They advertise up to 12 hours of battery life, and depending on screen brightness, ours last almost that long regularly. The only con I can think of is that the cameras are sub-par, but that's not what I purchased the tablets for, so it's a non-issue for myself. Some of the reviews I read cited that the internal storage was easily filled with FreeTime content, so I installed 128GB SD cards in them. I also purchased some rugged children's cases for them off of Amazon. This is probably one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. The sound of silent children reading all day is priceless!!!

Got it for my 9 year old son for his Common robot, he loves it, it's very easy to use and for the price well worth it

This is a great device for book readers! It's larger than the former kindle, has great light and easy to operate.

The screen is big and the Kindle is easy to navigate. Having Amazon prime definitely makes it worth the investment

Amazing tablet for the price. Lightning quick, screen quality is great and it has a great feel to it. It's only limitation it's the Amazon app store.

I use this tablet often. It is the perfect size. The battery last a long time. The quality is great for the price

This tablet works as well or better than my iPad. It is quicker and simpler to use with better speed and reaction.

Great to download books from the Amazon store. I had a Nook, but couldn't get the books I wanted so when I purchased this it was perfect. You can also surf the web, add social media app, etc.

Works great even in OK network areas. Long battery life and easy to use. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

This is the perfect tablet for my purposes. Easy to use and the perfect size. Not too large and not too small.

I started with the 7" little brother and liked it a lot, so I decided to upgrade to the larger model. I use it primarily as an e-reader and for some net surfing and Facebook. The WiFi works great and is ready to access and use. Don't buy this unit if you want cell (4g) access to the Internet. It is WiFi only. Frankly, my cell phone takes better pictures, but that's not what I really wanted from the unit. All in all, a great reader with excellent battery life.

My son totally loves it! The size is just right, and it is pretty fast. I don't have any complaints about it.
