    I was torn between sizes for my new kindle. I wanted bigger, but the 10" seemed too big to comfortably hold while laying in bed. The Fire 8 is a perfect fit for me. The sound quality is great and gets nice and loud while watching movies!

    An Amazon Prime device

    This tablet really will work best for people who are totally locked into Amazon Prime. I am not. I wanted a decent tablet to watch my Amazon videos (that I bought; not through Prime,) and read books bought through Kindle on, but I ended up returning this. The product itself feels very cheaply made and plasticy. I did really like the "widescreen" effect when I was watching movies on it; but the poor visual quality (I've seen on "HD" tablets that have better quality than this one,) really disappointed me. Also, the new Amazon Kindle Fire layout leaves a lot to be desired. I will wait and see if something better comes out.

    ...I'm experiencing a periodic issue with the Fire HD and Netflix, where videos get stuck in a "Loading..." status. I have not experienced the issue on other devices (computers, tablets, phones). While I can't definitely say the issue is with the Fire HD, the fact that no other devices are experiencing the issue leads me to think it is. Other than that, this has been a great product.

    The Kindle Fire HD8 is a little different than the Kindle Fire HD so it took time to get used to it. This model has some improvements--a front and back camera, add on memory capacity, is faster...... I'm pleased.
