Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's fast on the web. It's light, compact, and easily portable. It's affordable and reliable and can be expanded for memory. It does everything I need and want. It's the best buy for a web tablet and it's quick. I love mine.

I have used a Kindle and Kindle Fire since they first came out and prefer them over a laptop or phone for searching ang playing games. They are the perfect size and are capable of much more than you can imagine. They have the capability of a full computer with excel, word, etc., installed with camera, an assortment of games, face time, skype, phone, etc. Once you use, you will definitely be impressed with the capability. This is my 3rd one and the durability is amazing.

Wanted a table that would allow a specific third party software to run. Also required a specific fit. My 7 inch kindle fire was a little small and my 10 inch kindle fire was way to big. This is exactly what I required.

Graphics are great. Screen is a nice size. Battery life so far is fine. Girlfriend uses it alot

WORKS PERFECTLY AS PER PRICE RANGE. VERY NICE!! VERY GOOD!!

I bought this equipment for a gift a mother (elderly lady) and the person was delighted. The most important thing that can take you wherever you go because it is an.ideal soze. I recommend it 100%.

Fire HD 8 is a great tablet love the screen very bright and clear functions on the tablet are awesome I recommend this tablet.

Absolutely love this tv!! The quality of the pic is great ,fit perfectly on stand. The ease of setup was amazing. The room isn’t huge, but it really works.

I have two of these tablets. I have my grandchildren use them for ABC Mouse and watching Netflix. No issues so far.

The Fire HD 8 tablet is a no-brainer for the price. Obviously, you can buy better performing tablets at a premium, but if you just need something for casual reading, mobile gaming, browsing, etc., Then this is the tablet to get. if you wanted a larger one, you can go for the 10 inch tablet, but I wouldn't recommend anything below the HD 8 because of performance and build quality reasons.

I bought the FireHD8 in yellow ( 2018) to replace an old iPad Mini v1. I have grown tired of Apple and love my HD10, so.... I paid $60 but then $15 after to remove the ads from the lock screen. They didn't bother me much, but prefer it without them. The tablet is responsive and the screen is sharp, though the HD10 is far better in speed and screen clarity. The 8" excels at being easy to hold. It's much lighter than the 10. Works like a charm for YouTube,mail and general browsing. I am looking forward to the 9th gen....an HD10 in the HD8 size would be perfect. I don't miss my old iPad at all. Recommended.

If you do a bit of research and know what to expect (there are enforced adverts which you have the option of removing at a cost & out-of-the-box it's not part of the regular Android app ecosystem) it's potentially a bargain. I use it exclusively for reading pdfs in Airplane Mode to save power. Battery life is brilliant - when left in standby the battery drops only around 1% per day. In use, maybe 5% for an hour of reading. It's light and a great size for holding in one hand. The screen is "good enough": it's not going to impress your friends and family, but it is perfectly fine for reading small text. It's not terribly bright, so if you're planning to use it for watching videos outdoors you might want to check one out in-store before buying. It can also be a bit sluggish switching between apps - if this was my smartphone being used for everything it would be very frustrating. For a single-purpose device (just for reading or watching videos) where you're not switching between apps or typing much, I think it's totally acceptable. The alternative of an iPad mini would probably do everything faster, with a nicer, brighter screen, but at around ten times the price I would be too scared of breaking it or losing it to ever take it out of the house. Instead, I throw the Fire tablet in my backpack with no case and use it all the time. If it ever breaks, I'll just get another. Totally worth it!

I got this Kindle FIre 8 HD to replace a Fire 7. I was curious how much difference the larger screen size actually seems. Even though it is only one inch difference, it seems a lot more. It is quick and easy to use for reading email, looking a facebook, or watching on-line videos. The screen is very high resolution and has really vivid colors for watching videos. I can watch and listen to sports out in the garage or wherever, too. Also, it is easy to setup for other wireless networks, too. Very please, especailly since I purchased on sale from Best Buy for only $49! Well worth it. Hope it will last a long time. For my purposes, a lot better value than an iPad, especially since I can easily and cheaply add additional memory using a micro SDcard.

Just want to start, anyone thinking this is an Ipad - it is not. Battery life is decent but will die in 1-2 days if left on. Great little device to search the web, play games, read books, look through photos, etc. Overall rating is thrown way up based on price, $50; for this price you will not find anything better and because it is not apple you can increase the memory easily by adding a card making this a high quality product for anyone to use. If you have kids, might want to get a protective case for it as it is smooth like a phone.

The Fire HD 8 may be the best bargain - and value - on a tablet Great HD screen, plenty of popular apps, and a battery that never quits. The price is a real bargain for a great tablet. Perfect size! Did I mention that the battery last forever? Great tablet!

These are always a hit for an easy gift for kids. They last long if they are not being abused and allows them to play games, get online, take pictures and record videos. Plus I can control things with easy from my account!

I have purchased 4 of these in a years time. One for my daughter, one for my 93 year old Aunt and 2 for myself. These tablets are great for anything. I just discovered that they will verbally read all my Kindle books if I turn on text to speech. My IPad will supposedly do that but it is much more complicated and not easy to do. I chose to not use my memory card for internal memory but decided to load about 10,000 scanned and digitized pics on it from my laptop and then I use a program call F-Stop slide show for Kindle and I can use the Fire for easily viewing all my digital data taken from my removable memory card, I love it. There is also a procedure found on the internet that shows you how to load the Google play store by downloading four programs in the correct sequence, I have done this on 3 of my Amazon fires. Then you can download the Google Keyboard with the microphone built in so you can dictate emails, etc. I read all my books with it or just listen to them with the text to speech feature. I have talked to a friend about this and now he wants one even though he has a 9.7 IPad. I also have an IPad but really enjoy these Amazon Fires for my digital pics and reading Kindle Books. They also work great as an Alexa, I have many devices that work with it. When the price goes back to $50 my friend will also buy one. Also, the adds only show up on the lock screen, so don’t pay more to get rid of them.

Got these for our kids. Great tools for learning and having their own to maintain, care for and use. Battery life and storage are perfect. Kids can maneuver on their own with great ease. They have had them for 2 or 3 years now and still going strong.

Good size. Works well and does the job for what it is needed: - Reading - Videos - Some surfing - A bit of game play Very durable. I mean, falls almost mean nothing.

Excellent, specially considering the price. I used the 7 inches for two years and got tired of the reboots and the constant message of "out of memory" regardless of having an SD card with 12 gigs to full. The screen is big and do not expect wonders since the battery lasts long and electronic balance has to be kept. Also takes a while to recharge from a wall outlet. A solid operating system, responsive and easy to use. The amount of adds by Amazon is acceptable and not invasive at all. Much better purchase than the 7 inches, is not just size is functionality.
