    Got it for my teenage granddaughter and she loves it. Likes playing games on it. She uses the Alexa features to call friends and control her lights. I have the 10 inch tablet and I purchased the docking station so it's always charged when I need it as a tablet and I use the show mode to control my TV

    Efficient, Smaller tablet

    This small tablet is just what I was looking for. The operating system is very robust and accepting of specialized software I use in conjunction with Amateur Radio. I am currently experimenting with an SDR display for my portable rig in my RV. In short, very configurable to specialized applications.

    Having accidents destroyed both an iPad and Samsung Galaxy tablet, I went for a lower price tablet. 8” is minimum I would recommend as the 7” fells almost like just a large smartphone. Quality for price is good for streaming Netflix, Prime, etc. if I accidentally trash it it won’t be a bank-breaker but easily replaced.

    Bought this Amazon Fire HD 8 for our small family. So far we have enjoyed the tablet since you can download all of your favorite apps. It's great to carry around because of it's portable size. It's easily become an essential for business trips or family trips.

    Originally, I bought one as a christmas gift for my fiance, thinking it'd be great for playing games, watching videos, and reading books and articles. It's really easy to use and has pretty decent features, so for the price and quality, it was a great deal! I ended up buying another one for myself.

    This is an amazing deal. Works awesome. It doesn't include the Google Play Store and you have to choose limited apps from the Amazon Store, but it's easy to install the Google Play Store manually (many sites explain how to do so), and then most Play Store apps install seamlessly.

    I have always loved Amazon tablets. I had to replace this one only because my two-year-old threw mine across the room. I got this one for a really great price it has a great amount of a memory and I love the fact that I could always add extra memory to it if needed

    This is my 3rd Kindle I have bought. I love the Kindle. Easy to use, this Kindle has lots of different lighting options which makes it perfect for reading in the light or at night. My only con would be I wish it was a little smaller but that keeps just a minor thing.

    I did not buy the regular kid tablet by Amazon. Instead he is using this with the kids mode made by Amazon. It's so worth the money because it comes with so many apps for online and offline and it's so easy for him to use. There is no downloading weird games or accidental purchases.

    My son needed a new tablet for college and didn't have a lot of money, so he purchased Amazon - Fire HD 8 - 8" - Tablet for a great price. The only thing he doesn't like about it is, he can't play some of his games but it works great for keeping his college info and helping him stay organized.

    Easy to learn and access! It's just zippy enough to make you feel that the experience of using the device is a reasonably good one, particularly when it comes to streaming video, reading e-books and surfing the web, which is what most people will use the device for.

    love my fire tablet. I mainly use it as an eReader and to watch Netflix. I love that it connects easily to my Amazon account so make purchasing eBooks easier.The only things I don't like about it are the fact that the battery life isn't the best, and there are advertisements on the lock screen I'll probably break down and pay it at some point, but for now, it's not a huge deal. I can't speak to the quality of use with other apps or for other purposes, as I mainly just use mine for entertainment.Overall I really like this tablet and would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable tablet for light entertainment usage.

    Great tablet for a good price. This tablet runs an Amazon modified version of android. By default you can only install apps from the amazon store, but its not difficult to sideload the google play store. Its a utilitarian tablet at a useful price.

    This tablet is great. I needed to replace my old Kindle Fire that's beginning to have issues. I am glad that it is the same size as my 2 1/2-year-old Fire. I use the tablet daily for hours. It is my small computer for downloading anything, creating documents, paying bills, etc.

    I have several of these tablets. I use them primarily for streaming movies, reading, surfing the internet and some gaming. For this purpose the tablets work great and I have no complaints. You can salso sideload Google play to add all of your favorite android apps. For the money this is a very good tablet.

    My old tablet was starting to slow down and take forever to load so I decided to go with the fire HD due to the price. I love the screen size and it loads quickly. I have downloaded several apps that I use on a regular basis and haven't had any issues so far. Very happy with this purchase.
