    Honestly the Amazon ecosystem is a bit of a mess. If you need a real budget tablet than these are ok, but otherwise an iPad is a much better purchase.

    I like the Fire HD 8, but the screen dims and brightens on it's own constantly. This is the 2nd one I've tried and it wasn't just a glitch on the 1st one.

    It's cheap but there's an annoying advertisement every time you boot up. You have to pay extra if you want them removed.

    It's great to have to watch your Amazon prime streaming video and plenty of apps, but you can not watch At&t streaming app on it.

    It's a tablet and has worked, so far, but not been used as much as I'd like due to it's proprietary Amazon nature limiting it's flexibility.

    While the tablet is similar to the original tablet, the 8" seems like an improvement to the 7".
