    My primary use is for reading - but I also love streaming shows and movies when I'm working on the computer and want something on in the background.

    I expected way better because I have a kids edition of the fire tablet and it works very well. This tablet could not play the games I bought it for and was very slow.

    This was a Christmas gift for our daughter. It had a red line straight down the middle of the screen. She drove 30 min away with the receipt and was told she would have to pay the difference of $40 for another one. She argued and got the manager who ordered her a new one without extra charge. She couldn’t get pink, they said they were out everywhere so had to get black.

    Meant to get the Plus version. This one is okay for movies and media but for anything else it is super laggy. Roblox was unplayable for my 8 year old.

    This tablet came with a charger but not the end piece to plug it up. I bought another tablet and it didn’t have anything but a car charger.

      Hello NancyG,
      I'm sorry for the difficulty you are having, the Fire HD 8 tablet includes USB-C for easy charging. The tablet charges completely in under 5hrs using the included USB-C cable and 5W power adapter included in the box. If you didn't receive these items in your box, you may think about reaching out to the store you purchased the item from so that you can find out if the item could have been returned or possibly sold as an 'Open Box' item? I hope this information helps, have a great day! AmazonDevices

    It wasn't like I thought it will be for a 8 year old child. I did ask questions before I bought but it wasn't that good.

      Hello BrandyW! I am so sorry your tablet is having issues staying connected to the internet. That is not a typical issue we see or expect from any of our tablet lineup. These should be staying connected just as well as any other device connected to your Wi-Fi. Since there could be a couple different things that could cause this, my best recommendation for troubleshooting this issue would be reaching out to Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 while onsite where you are experiencing this issue so they can walk you through a few steps or see what options are available to you. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and I hope this helps improve your experience some. Have a terrific day! AmazonDevices

    I went in for kindle cover and came out with a new kindle by mistake. Salesperson gave a kindle instead of a cover. Didn’t pay attention when I paid.. didn’t bring back because I never want to go to your store again.. you should close them all poor service if you can find someone to help..
