    Bought it for my son. He's over the moon about it. The processor speed is incredible, sufficient space to download his various games. He's totally into Alexa. Great product, great price as is expected of Bestbuy.

    Great electronic book reader. Large screen will allow you to use it comfortably when it is time to use it while traveling. Kids love this for gaming, education activities and YouTube videos.

    Bought this for my kids and it works great for the price. The only thing is that youtube isn't available through the store for this tablet. But you can go straight to the site.

    Bought for my 7 year old. Still works. I didn't want to pay the $50 extra dollars for the kids version, this works just fine for half the price. I did buy a $15 foam like protective case.

    I bought this for streaming Hulu, Netflix, and other apps. It's easy to use and navigate. I was impressed with how functional it is for the price. The only negative is that less common apps are unavailable for this device; ie American Airline's inflight app.

    The 2017 version wasn't the best since it came with defective speakers from the beginning, but this latest version is my favorite. When I get home from studying all i do is watch youtube videos and the battery lasts so long.

    My Dad really just wanted an inexpensive (but not basic) E-Reader. When we saw the sale on this item from Best Buy it was too good to pass up! The size and functionality was just what he wanted. He absolutely loves it!

    I purchased for my 2 yr. old godson, who wouldn’t stop playing with our phones. It was fairly easy for him to catch on being he was using our Apple device. I think this is a perfect gift for anyone 2 to 102 yrs old

    We were looking to purchase a tablet as a gift for a kid without spending as much for an iPad. The Amazon Fire HD is perfect, has just about every feature and app to download. The options for cases for kids are good as well.

    I bought this for my sister who doesn't even have a smart phone. Due to social distancing I was not able to give her hands on instructions but I didn't need to. This is a very user friendly tablet.

    This is a great improvement from last model's Kindle. A lot more bigger in screen size and thinner. The only complaint is that the volume and power button are on the short side rather than the long, but it's just something to get used to. Still glad I bought this

    Purchased a replacement tablet for my mom who needs it for basic tasks like to checking her email, browsing the Internet and reading ebooks. I just wish Amazon OS lets us uninstall some of the pre-loaded bloatware apps like Games, Music, FreeTime and Newsstand.

    I purchased this a few days before Christmas as a gift for my son so my review is based primarily on ordering rather than the tablet itself; however, I did purchase one a few months ago for my father & it is a great tablet which is why I decided to purchase another one for my son. This was the first time I had ordered from Best Buy online with the option to pick-up in store... And I am so happy that I did as I was able to bypass crowded stores, long lines, and didn't have to risk it not being in stock... Especially with it being only a few days before Christmas. I ordered it using my phone & was notified within an hour that it was ready for pick-up. I would certainly recommend this option when ever available!

    Has all the functions necessary for school work. Just enough gaming apps and plenty of storage capacity for projects, notes, etc. Recommended it to a friend and she purchased two for her sons graduating to high school.

    Good basic tablet for reading email and watching videos. Internet browser seems to have problems with some websites. Alexa and show mode are nice features. Quite pleased with it for the price. Just don't expect iPad performance or features at this price.

    This tablet was a gift for my wife who wanted something roughly book sized to read all of her purchased e-books. In addition to being great for that it really can do quite a bit for being a modified version of Android.
