    Reading books on this Fire tablet is awesome. Just bought a bunch of books to read! Surfing is a breeze and you can watch Hulu on it too. It's a great reading tablet with extras!

    If you use the Amazon ecosystem this is great value for the price. Good for media, occasional browsing online and reading ebooks. This is not a power tablet nor dors it claim to be, great for the everyday user .

    This was a great item for my family Pollyanna. At $50 it has so many functions for someone that does not need a super tablet, I am very happy with this purchase.

    It is great for reading books. Good at playing simple games. OK for browsing the internet. It gets the job done but there are better options albeit much more expensive.

    Buying this item when it was on sale seemed like a good idea. But something Best Buy and Amazon dont tell you when buying it in store is that it comes with AD Subscription. Ads constantly play on your screen saver and everywhere else. Additionally, if you want to turn the ads off, you have to pay. Lame Amazon...lame Best Buy.

    The fire hd 8 is a nice tablet. I had a 6th generation and the new 8 is much faster. I also like the fact that you can add an sd card. Older generation did not have that option.

    Works great as a monitor for the ip camera in the baby's room. Also, easy to use with Amazon Prime. Accessories are expensive compared to the very low price of the tablet.

    I'm not a big fan of the refresh rate on the Paperwhites so I got this to read with instead and like it much better. Bright, crisp screen with access to apps if you need it.

    If you are looking for a high performance tablet, this is not the one. The screen looks great and the red color is awesome. Perfect tablet to read, listen music and watch series on the go.
