    This is my wife's 2nd Kindle. She tried the Kindle Fire HD 10 for one-day and had trouble with it and it was a little too big for her hands. She returned the HD 10 and got the HD 8 in its place. She is VERY happy with the performance and resolution. It does what its supposded to do.

    The Amazon Fire HD 8 is far more than meets the eye. I've used it exclusively since purchasing it just as a reader. It connects to the Web through my wireless router, processes my email accounts, and performs my high level language programming and application development.

    I owned a Kindle fire hd but I didn't have Bluetooth on it. I needed it to have bluetooth so I can sync to my car and use the car speakers to listen to audio books. It works great just what I needed.

    The battery life is awful. A real pain. It's slower than my old fire hd 7. I thought that the increase in GB , would be an improvement. I'm not seeing a plus here.

    Highly recommend. This device is way to learn and use. The bright sunlight setting is outstanding as I spend a lot of time outdoors. Bought another three days later for my husband.

    I had my first kindle for 3 years, when it died I immediately bought this new Amazon fire. It is exactly what I need. It does everything I need it to do and more.

    For the price the Fire 8 HD is the best out there. Easy to use and extremely versatile. Only drawback is if you read a lot outdoors, the screen isn't the best in sunlight.

    Maybe it's because I am spoiled by my older iPad, but this is a lousy product. It was cheap- $120 and there is a reason- it's hard to use and you get what you pay for. It took me about 2 days to realize this was not a tablet by any stretch of the imagination.

    Lasted a year

    This kindle lasted 1 year for me. However, I do want to say that I read a minimum of 8 hours a day, EVERYDAY. So I would assume if you are someone who isn't an obsessive reader, this reader would probably work great for you. Only problem I ended up having was mainly the charger port. Kindle does seem to use inferior parts when it comes to the charging port.
