    Great little tablet. Bought it for my grandma so we could do video calls. I can still only see her forehead, but that’s a user issue LOL - it works great.

    Got this for my Grandma to use. Shes 84 years old and finds it incredibly easy to use! Battery life is very good, only need to charge it every few days or so.

    As a e-reader it's fine: right size and weight to use at bedtime. Anything else and 1) it's too small for a tablet and 2) Amazon, amazon everything is Amazon including the browser. Search for how to make pickles and you'll end up at Whole Foods, pure AMAZON!!!!!!!. Great as an e-reader but that's all it's good for

    I love my Amazon Fire! I chose this one over the 7” kindle. It has color and an 8” screen. I also like that you can go online and go into different apps.

    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

    its worth the 50 bucks I paid for it for black friday price. wouldnt pay 100 bucks. it responds pretty well. Could do with less of the amazon bloat wear. it actually installed two more bloat apps last time I let the amazon appstore do an auto update. Cant take the ugly search bar off the home screen. Have to side load the play store and google chrome.

      Hello USer. Thank you so much for your valued feedback on your experience with your tablet. I am glad you were able to take advantage of our amazing promotional pricing! We do feel that our price for this device is extremely competitive when compared to any other tablet in its size and class. While the device does have the ability to sideload content, we do not currently offer any official way to use the Google Chrome browser or Play Store on this device as it does have Amazon's own App Store full of apps that are fully compatible to the OS. Again, we do appreciate any and all feedback as we are always trying to improve upon our products for our customers to have the best experience with them. I hope you have a fabulous day!
