DESIGNED FOR AMAZON WORLD, BUT STILL PRETTY GREAT ~~~ PROS & CONS TO CONSIDER
4 Stars
DESIGNED FOR AMAZON WORLD, BUT STILL PRETTY GREAT ~~~ PROS & CONS TO CONSIDER
**PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS REVIEW IS FOR A 64G (with ads) ~~ White ~~ Adapter and USB cable InclEVEN THOUGH AMAZON IS POSTING THIS IS AS A 32G BLACK**A GREAT LITTLE TABLET FOR WHAT IT IS.If you're a diehard Amazon customer like I am, then Amazon devices can't be beat for hooking one up to everything that Amazon World offers. And let's not forget Alexa makes it all even easier.I never thought I'd need or buy a Fire tablet, since I'm already covered with a new laptop, Kindle Reader, 2 Android tablets, and a Samsung phone. My bases were already covered and my nearly 3,000 Kindle books were accessible in several ways. Prime Video and Music work great on all my existing devices, plus I have 2 regular Firesticks and 1 4K Firestick. So why get a Fire tablet?Well, my two tablets were made obsolete for Kindle when Amazon recently SOMEHOW deregistered both of them from my account and I wasn't able to download the newest Kindle app and repopulate my library. Long story. Enter Fire Tablet HD 8 just when I needed a new device for the Kindle app and the Prime Day price was unbeatable ...Buying the tablet was really a no-brainer, and a necessity at the time. I ordered the newest 64G WITH ADS and am ecstatic with that choice. After considerable research in comparing capabilities, the 8 was better than the 8 Plus or the 10" tablet. I don't recommend going lower than 64G even though the 32G is less expensive and memory is expandable. That perk has never worked out well on any device, and we all know that music, movies, and books will gobble up memory faster than a cheetah runs. The white matte finish looks great, but there are things to know before you buy.** LONG BATTERY LIFE: Surprisingly, I recharge this tablet ONCE EVERY 3 DAYS, despite having it turned on all day with WiFi, and doing alot of Kindle reading.** SIMPLE OPERATION: After some glitches during setup, and a thorough investigation of the tablet and settings, operation was a snap.** SETUP ISSUES: I had lots of setup issues due to the endless system updates that were necessary and had to be done in a certain way and order that I couldn't have done on my own even though I'm very savvy with electronics. THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS and it was confusing. That meant being on the phone with tech support to get it all squared away properly. If you're typically Android, this tablet IS NOT ANDROID. IT'S AMAZON. There are similarities, but it's an AMAZON DEVICE THROUGH AND THROUGH.** SIDEWALK OPTION: Once set up, if you want to opt out of Sidewalk it's very easy within settings.** ANDROID CONVERTIBLE: For those concerned that it isn't Android and can't download Google Play apps, just go on line for easy instructions on downloading 4 APK files and a launcher in order to turn the tablet into Android and download any apps you want, then create a separate home screen for the Android apps. The current screen is all Amazon apps. Once done, you'll have the best of both worlds combined.** QUIRKY GLITCHES: I've only had the tablet a few weeks and already there are glitches. The screen occasionally freezes, won't respond to touch, or pages won't open or navigate properly. If you're a heavy reader like I am with an extensive Kindle library and also frequently use Goodreads, there are more glitches. The books that you have "read" do not always synch into your GR account on the tablet. My "friend" count on GR is also incorrect. GR notifications are spotty. It helps that I double check on my phone app and also email, which are both accurate and up to date on GR notifications.** A BRICK: Heavier than expected. If you're used to Samsung or Apple, this tablet will feel like a brick and also a bit thick. Expected it to be slimmer and lighter in design.** SCREEN QUALITY: Picture quality not as sharp or good for movies as my Samsung. You'll notice the difference, but it's still good enough.** DIFFERENCES: Amazon versions of apps are not quite the same as Android versions. Microphone dictation Notes and Highlights on Kindle books sucks. It doesn't understand most words you say, and you need to close and re-open the microphone to repeat. Very cumbersome and ineffective. This feature works flawlessly on Android, but I often have to type notes manually when I get fed up with the wonky microphone. The whole page layout of books in Kindle App is a bit spotty. Noticed a big difference in the way the Tablet Kindle App operates as opposed to Google Play version on an Android device. Sometimes, I get fed up with the issues, and just read for awhile on my phone when I want to do lots of highlights and notes on a book for reviews.** DON'T BE AFRAID TO GET THE TABLET "WITH ADS"! You'll save $15, and can pay it back later if you want the ads removed. The ONLY time I see ads is when I first turn on the tablet on the opening screen. That's it. See my photo of the book ad. No other ads appear during use or at the bottom of the screen as with my Kindle Reader. It's more of a screen saver that swipes away. As long as you are on the tablet and the screen doesn't go dark, no new or additional ads will appear.** TOUCH SCREEN RESPONSIVENESS: The screen doesn't always respond. Locks up. Not sure if this will get worse or "it is what it is". NOT an issue that I have with Android.** DIFFERENT LAYOUTS: Amazon Prime Video not laid out the same as Android. I couldn't even find my Watch List, until I noticed my profile icon and "My Stuff" at bottom of the screen. Why so different Amazon?** ADJUSTMENT PERIOD: This tablet will take some adjustment, especially if comparing to Android. Although it's geared for Amazon apps, there are more glitches than I prefer, the same as has been happening with all the recent website feature changes on the PC.It's an okay tablet and perfectly functional especially for Kindle books, music, and Prime Video if you have those subscriptions. 1st 6 months of Washington Post is free. Personally, the tablet needs some improvements and is adequate, but a bit less than expected. It's not the ideal option if you want Android capability, but remember that it is convertible. Because I bought it on Prime Day, I also got a free 3-month, first-time subscription to Disney +, Hulu, and ESPN. I see that offer is still available in another way on Amazon that still might apply to this purchase, so if you're thinking of buying be sure to check the promo with customer service first.Overall, I'm happy with the tablet, the memory, and the functionality of Amazon World in general which I navigate on a daily basis, but there are some limitations from an android standpoint.FYI: My photos show the main screen with pre-loaded Amazon apps, an example of a "free ad", and one with the Prime Video screen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have, I use this every day and love it.
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022
I had a 2017 Kindle Fire that wore out, and this seemed a suitable replacement. The review is written on a comparative level with what I'm used to with that older model. This is a larger, sturdy Kindle Kire that feels substantial. At first the additional weight was a bit annoying as I typically read in bed, but I got used to it pretty quickly.

The screen resolution is incredible - I chose a Van Gogh painting as my background, and you can see the brushstrokes in it. As I'm old enough to remember when video games were moving pixels, this is stunning to me. It also upgraded the visuals on a few games that I play on it, in every good way.

I don't use the camera so I can't comment on that. The volume and power buttons are right next to each other - I dislike this as I often tap the volume when I mean to hit the power. I prefer the older version where they're separate from each other.

The charging cord is a type C, which is a sturdier upgrade from the previous micro USB. It clicks in easily and charges nicely, complete with telling expected time to full charge. The battery life is impressive, and will also estimate when the battery will run out given current usage.

The screen is responsive to touch, with or without the screen protector on it. The three main screens all have good features - I like that things can be hidden from the menu screen so it's not overly cluttered.

Alexa is included, and can be turned off.

The Kindle Reading Insights feature has challenges to help encourage reading more. It tracks days, weeks, months, and number of books read and offers achievements for meeting goals. You can add a reading goal of books per year. This didn't seem to be working consistently for previous books read, so I'm more conscientious about ensuring books are marked as read now. It did import activity from my previous Kindle.

** I just learned this - do not turn off Whispersync if you want the Reading Insights to track properly. Totally ruined my 107 day reading streak! ;) **

I love this device and really enjoy the upgrade from my previous, hard working unit.
