    Was looking at Kindles with my wife when we found this gem for $65 which is about half price of the cheapest kindle we could find so we decided to get this instead. In all honesty she is very pleased with it. While the battery life is obviously less than the kindle, it is a much more capable device. Also she can of course still access her Kindle Unlimited on it so really she just ended up with a more capable device for less money. Very satisfied. I’m not going to dock them a star for this since she said it doesn’t bother her and we both got a laugh from it, but the Lock Screen on this device serves as a permanent advertisement for products on Amazon unless you pay a one time fee to get rid of it.

    Everything we needed, nothing more, nothing less. I wanted a tablet for a pre-teen that was a step above the kids tablet but not too expensive. This tablet is perfect (size, capabilities, and price point). I am able to set limitations and gradually change them as my child matures. It provides enough memory for Roblox, Youtube, and Netflix (and other platforms).

    The associate at kokomo best Buy recommended this model and it works great! He offered all sorts of assistance in transferring the books and also helped with 2 other items. I love our local best Buy and it is our..GO TO store. Products are one thing but having excellent staff makes it PERFECT!

    I love this tablet. I bought it on discount with ads but ended up removing ads after the first month. From the compact size to the blue light for reading this is the tablet for every reader.

    I really like the kindle that I bought. I live in Kenya as a missionary so it will help me be able to take many books without the weight. Not to big either. Only thing was one of the games I wanted to play on it, doesn't work well with Kindles.

    It's decent for a basic tablet. The lack of availability of some apps is a little irritating. Battery life is good though. It's good for watching videos/movies, social media and surfing the internet. Not so much for games.

    The Fire HD 8 tablet is excellent for its price. The screen is bright and clear, and it works smoothly for watching videos, reading, browsing, and light apps. Battery life is impressive and lasts easily through the day. It is lightweight and easy to carry, making it perfect for travel or relaxing at home. For this price range, the quality is surprisingly good. Packaging was secure and delivery was on time. If you want a reliable tablet without spending too much, this is a very smart buy.

    After upgrading from an old model the Kindle has very much made a huge upgrade in this product. I am able to use it just as I use my phone with apps, reading and streaming music, movies, and live TV. Definitely recommend for all ages.

    I have not had my tablet for very long so I am still checking it out I do like that I can separate my entertainment from my phone since it has a small screen, but still have something small enough to carry with me. I’ll update when I have had more time to explore the tablet.

    This Kindle replaced an older version, and is faster with an improved display. It is irritating though that each new product requires all new accessories - the case for example. Not only do older cases not fit, but there are so many unique sizes that it seems like this is just another way to sneak in the customer-unfriendly "planned obsolescence. It did not help that Best Buy had few cases to choose from - all pricey.
