    Amazon Fire 8 (16GB) - poor battery life

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My wife has an older Kindle that is about 10 years old and the keys just don't work like they used to. She decided to replace it with a Fire 8" tabiet (16GB) after seeing that the prices on new Kindles of similar quality were out the roof. Long story short: She likes the new tablet as a Kindle reader (with two big caveats). The down sides (why I took off two stars): After charging the unit overnight, the battery life is not good and the display auto-dims to levels that make it essentially unusable for her. We turned off the auto-brightness and manually set it to an acceptable level (which is not overly bright). None-the-less, she needs to charge it over night, every night, or she wakes up and finds it down to below 10%. Huh? She doesn't surf the web or have Wi-Fi on most of the time so why is the battery only lasting 3-4 hours? I hear that this is a common battery life for these units. Amazon needs to replace the existing power platform and programming with a higher capacity battery and better power management if they expect people to be satisfied. I can't comment on the general usefulness of the Tablet outside of using it as a Kindle reader. If battery life is any indication, it would likely only function for a couple of hours before needing to be recharged. Unfortunately, she was used to using her dedicated Kindle reader for days at a time--something this tablet doesn't come close to providing as a reader. The moral of the story: Buy a dedicated Kindle reader instead if that is what you intend to use the Fire 8" tablet for.

    These Kindle FIre tablets are a great deal!. To add Google play store, just look through some You tube videos and you will find the 4 things that need to be installed. After that, you can add any app from the play store, making your kndle fire very android tablet like. I will say that I had an older kinde fire HDX and the screen and internert connectivity were better. Also there was a mini-usb port that I used with an HDMI adapter to watch netflix while at a hotel. Of course, that cost more than the $50 these can he had for. Enjoy!
