    Bought this new Fire HD8 for my husband for Xmas, a huge upgrade as he has one of the oldest the Kindle Fire 6th or 7th generation, needless to say, this particular HD8 must have a defect, as the volume on it wasn't loud at all, and he tried everything to get it to be louder, but it was a no go. So I'm returning it, and I'm just getting him the 10. Hopefully the volume will work on that one.

    I specifically bought Fire tablet as a way to watch movies and download them to a microSD card since iPad was full. Three different Best Buy employees assured me that they do that all the time. Initially I was able to do it, ignoring constant error messages, but now it's blocked completely. I don't know whether I'm madder at Amazon or the Best Buy employees for misleading me.

    I bought this Amazon Kindle as a gift for a valued customer after 3 years of repeat business to me. She opened it on her birthday. It died within 48hrs and I told her she could take the item back for we exchange with my receipt, which she did. She was told there was nothing they could do. Very disappointing. Hope others learn from our experience.

    I’m not satisfied with this product & will return it on my next off day from work. It freezes, on occasions will not allow me to type things. Numerous times while playing a game the screen disappears. I don’t know if this one is just defective or if the whole line of the product is broken
