    Difficult to hold while reading. Provides no place to grip your tablet. Constantly bombarded with ads as soon as you turn it on. Slow to respond when you swipe up to close the ad. You have to do it several times and it's frustrating... I wish I had never purchased it !

      Hello DCole. Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the Fire HD 8 tablet. While the tablet is designed to offer great value with its features, I understand how the ad experience and handling could impact your enjoyment. For easier gripping, you might consider a case that provides better grip support, which many customers have found helpful. As for the ads, these help keep the device's price lower, but you can opt for an ad-free experience through your device settings. The response time usually improves after initial setup and updates. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving our products for all customers. Have a great day. AmazonDevices

    I basically like it. It gave me the needed things I wanted. I was happy that I could expand the storage space. It does not have the feel or speed like a similar but more expensive device, but works just fine for what I needed.

    Bought for an elderly parent to use as streaming device. Works just fine - a little slow, but acceptable for the price. Don’t love the intrusive Amazon ads, but these can be deactivated with parental controls

    This was purchased as a travel screen for long trips. This runs very slowly, attempting to download some movies for a flight and glad I started days early. This thing is loaded with apps you may never use and cannot delete. If it wasn’t $90 I wouldn’t have got but I just wanted something cheap to watch a few movies on an 11 hour flight. If you have the extra $100 buy an iPad. It will run smoother and you get a screen about twice the size.

      Hi Kakarotss2, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Fire HD 8. I’m sorry to hear that the device has not met your expectations so far. It's important to understand that the Fire HD 8 is quite different from an iPad. While it is a lot less expensive, it also offers a longer battery life and allows for expandable storage through a microSD card. This tablet is great for watching videos on Prime Video, reading Kindle books, and handling basic tasks. If you mainly want a device for enjoying streaming media and keeping costs down, the Fire HD 8 is a good choice. However, if you need more power and special features, an iPad might be better for you. I hope this information helps you get the most out of your Fire tablet. Thank you again for your feedback! AmazonDevices

    At first the sales person sold me the color kindle and I needed to take it back because they sold me the wrong one. So I took it back and I asked for help switching apps over from my old kindle to my new one. This seemed to take forever. Also I bought a Roku and I had to take it back because this 73 yr. old couldn't set it up. Best Buy wasn't any help at all.

      Hi JillB,

      Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm sorry to hear about the confusion with your Kindle purchase and the challenges you faced with both the device setup and the Roku.

      I understand how frustrating it can be to receive the wrong product initially, and then to struggle with transferring your apps and content to your new Fire HD 8 tablet. The setup process should be straightforward, and I apologize that you didn't receive the level of assistance you needed from the Best Buy team.

      For transferring content between Kindle devices or Fire tablets, here are some helpful tips for the future:

      Most Amazon content (books, apps, games) can be re-downloaded directly from your Amazon account on your new device
      Simply sign in with the same Amazon account, and your purchased content will be available in the cloud
      You can also contact Amazon Customer Service at 1-888-280-4331 for step-by-step guidance with device setup and content transfer

      Regarding the Roku setup difficulties, I recommend reaching out to Roku's customer support directly at 1-816-272-8106 or visiting support.roku.com, as they specialize in helping customers with their streaming device setup and can provide patient, detailed assistance.

      We appreciate your patience through these challenges, and we're here to help if you have any questions about your Fire HD 8 tablet. AmazonDevices

    I really wanted to like this tablet but I couldn't download a lot of apps. Primarily the ones that I needed. So it was pretty useless to me.

      Hi TParker,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that the Fire HD 8 didn't meet your needs. We understand how frustrating it is when you can't access the specific apps you need for your daily use.

      The Fire HD 8 runs on Amazon's Fire OS and uses the Amazon Appstore, which has a different selection of apps compared to other app stores. We recognize that this limitation can be a significant issue if the apps you rely on aren't available, and we completely understand your decision to return the tablet.

      We appreciate you giving the Fire HD 8 a try, and your feedback about app availability is valuable as it helps us understand what matters most to our customers.
      Thank you again for your honest feedback. AmazonDevices
