    This is the best tablet I've owned. I actually have two HD 8 tablets and the HD 10 as well. I've owned several brands and none of the others compare. This is by far the best tablet on the market price wise.

    Love my tablet! It works well especially at the price point. Initially I didn’t realize the ads were supposed to be there. There is an option to pay more for them to go away, but I prefer the better price!

    The good: Easy to hold, able to take a bump, handles basic tasks with ease, and great price The bad: micro USB port that really only works well with provided cord and weak speakers I would buy again

    One of the best tablets we’ve had, to date! Purchased this as a gift for our son who wanted something with plenty of space (we also purchased an additional MicroSD card) was super fast, took great pics, and wasn’t limited in what games you can download like other popular kid’s tablets do. He loves everything absolutely everything about this tablet, as do we! You can easily set the child restrictions in the options to make it super safe for kids of all ages! If you’re on the fence about what kind of tablet to get, this would make an excellent choice for school, work, kids, reading, you name it! Highly recommend!

    I purchased to replace 7" Fire tablet which I gave to my niece for her to use for games and movies. The 8" Fire tablet is now being used in my living room for an added Alexa display working with my echo show and echo dots. I would have purchased the 10" but pricing at the time was more than I wanted to pay. I noticed a couple of weeks ago you had a sale on the new 10" for $110.00 a savings of $40.00. I will keep watching for another sale. Thanks BBuy for your continued sales and availability. I do miss your weekly add though!

    I have purchased this tablet for 4 different people in the last 3 years. It works well for basic use in all areas of use. Video, Music and reading books. I have found there is no other tablet you can buy that costs so little and works so well.

    Comfortable to hold while reading. Good speed and great integration for Amazon Prime members. You can install a micro SD card for storage. Watching movies is good but speakers are weak, use ear buds. I use it to primarily read books.

    Bought this to replace an older model that still works but which looses its charge too quickly. This one is also a great way to store many (many) books. Easy to read as well.

    It's my first tablet and didn't want to spend a lot. I use it for games, reading email and browsing the internet. It's small enough to take places too. The camera is a nice feature. Downside is too many ads popping up. Very annoying.

    He enjoys using it. Bought it for his birthday for him to use during his home care during chemo. It seems to be working well for what he does (Youtube, etc). Good price, good value.

    This is great for reading or shopping in bed. Easy to adjust brightness. Very light and thin that doesn't hurt your wrist. I found the 8'' was easily used for one touch operation.

    Bought this for my little brother and it's perfect for a kid! An ipad was just too expensive for him in my opinion. This however is cheap and it's okay if it breaks because I wont lose much money. I'm very happy with this product!

    This is my third or fourth Amazon e-reader. And it's as great as the others. Fast. Easy. Sturdy. Fun. The on-screen color is great. And the controls are easy to set and use.
