    Love my Amazon Fire Mini. I purchased this instead of the Kindle mini. Fire was half the price and can use it for everything, not just for reading in Kindle

    Not a bad tablet, if you want a cheap one

    This Amazon Fire won't outshine an iPad, and it's not as good an e-reader as an e-ink Kindle, but for a cheap tablet, it's not bad. Most annoying feature is the easily-bumpable power button, so you might want to buy a cheap case for this.

    I purchased this kindle to replace my mother’s one year old device that stopped working. Best Buy’s protection plan is great and provided me this at no cost. My mom loves to read and the ability to increase the letter size is vital as her vision isn’t great. She can also check her emails and Facebook activity on this.

    Absolutely the most cost-effective way to watch Netflix or read a book in bed or at the coffee shop. However, there is no way to buy the ad-free version from BB (I asked Amazon). It's still a good deal but add $15 to the price if you don't want idle broadcast adds from Amazon.

      Hello Jcolond! Thank you so much for your review of your Fire HD 8 tablet! I am glad you are enjoying the device! As you stated, this device is sold with lock screen ads called "Special Offers". And while Best Buy does not offer the product without these Special Offers at the higher price, you are able to pay a one time fee through your Amazon profile Devices page by clicking to Remove Special Offers. This will allow you to have the lock screen ads removed permanently under your profile and device. We have these in place to allow for the highest discount available to keep this aggressively value priced. However, we understand that not everyone will want to keep these active on their lock screen. Thanks again for your time and feedback and hope you have a terrific day! AmazonDevices

    I absolutely love my kindle fire 8, the only thing I find annoying is when I tell my echo dot (Alexa) to do something, the kindle goes off telling me to unlock it. I’m sure there’s a way to turn it off, I’m just too lazy right now to deal with it.

      Hello CrystalB! I am glad that you are enjoying your Fire HD 8 tablet. You are correct that there is a way to turn off Alexa on your tablet and it is very easy so you can toggle it on or off whenever you would like to use the feature. The easiest way to accomplish this is to swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the toggle for Alexa Hands-free. If you have icon shortcuts instead of labeled icons when you swipe down, it is the icon that looks like a side profile of a person's face with an X in front of the mouth. If you would like to turn the feature off completely, you can do this by swiping down from the top of the screen, tapping Settings (the gear icon), Alexa, then toggle it off. This will make the icon disappear entirely from the swipe down menu. I hope this helps resolve your issue and that you have a terrific day! AmazonDevices
