It's just an Amazon delivery device, but it's a really good Amazon delivery device

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2020

Style: Fire HD 8Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GBOffer Type: Without Lockscreen AdsColor: BlackVerified Purchase

People who complain about the Amazon Fire are really just complaining that it's not a traditional tablet. They wanted an iPad or a Galaxy Tab, but didn't have the money or were too cheap to get one and for upset when they realized what they'd bought. If you understand what the Fire is, an Amazon digital content delivery device with some tablet capabilities, you'll be thrilled with what it can do. If you're trying to find a cheap version of a Samsung or Apple tablet, keep looking because that is not what this is and you'll just be disappointed.

Great tablet (Amazon, why was my first review removed?)

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2020

Style: Fire HD 8Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I enjoy reading books and watching videos on my new Kindle.

- Screen and Size:
I appreciate the form factors -- it has sufficient screen size for my use but also very portable to carry around. The display quality of the 8 inch screen is great, everything is crisp and sharp. For me it is the most important thing. It's a great content consumption device which provides excellent reading experience similar to my old Paperwhite.

- Speed
The marketing material says 30%. Honestly it doesn't matter for my use.
It is smooth enough for web browsing.

- Battery Life:
It claims up to 12 hours of battery life, which impressive for tablet this size.
Based on my initial impression, it is probably true. I will come back to update this review later about my real-world usage.

- Charging
Type-C port! No more micro-USB!
According to the specifications, charging time is 5 hours.
Get a more powerful charger and I think this regular HD 8 will charge up just as fast as the more expensive Fire HD 8 Plus, if not faster!
In my video review, I used a type-c PD charger that delivers 14.12 watts of power when the tablet is around 68% battery. With the included charger, it was only able to deliver 5 watts. I won’t be surprised it can be charged from 0 to 100% under 3 hours!

- Storage:
It supports 1TB of additional storage! I I bought the 32GB version, put in 64GB SD card and plan to get a larger one in the future for movie storage.

- Capable of enabling Alexa, with on/off toggle.
It works but I don't use Alexa much.

Trying to remain optimistic... - Update #2 is more positive

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2020

Style: Fire HD 8Digital Storage Capacity: 64 GBOffer Type: Without Lockscreen AdsColor: BlackVerified Purchase

My all new 8" Fire HD w 64gb storage arrived today. Joy! Went through the setup process... good, good. Then, I hooked it up to my PC via the provided SUB to load my non-amazon purchased library and find that there are no visible subfolders to transfer my collection of ebooks to. What gives? Did amazon go full on proprietary on us with this latest generation? One star until we get this sorted out... Will update the review if there's a solution. If no solution, it will be returned.

***update #1*** There's apparently no simple solution. Anmolpreet, the customer service guy, was trying to walk me through some complicated email method that was highly impractical. Why does amazon feel the need to take a simple data transfer by USB method and remove it? What a terrible design flaw! Why does amazon hate their customers? This is right up there with not being able to open .mobi files from the micro SD card with the kindle app. I've learned to live with that flaw, but this one is ridiculous. Stay away from this lump.

***update #2*** amazon's Seattle based customer service contacted me and provided a workaround. You can select the functional properties of the USB cord. It can be used both to transfer data and charge the device. Unfortunately, amazon's incomplete instructions provided with the tablet do not provide this level of information. Work on it and make sure your overseas tech support guys know how to fully assist a customer with the proper countermeasures. Adding another star to the review to bump it up to 2. Hopefully, there aren't any other problems.

Bad Costumer Service for a broken Kindle

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020

Style: Fire HD 8Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: Black

We bought this kindle for my son this past Christmas and the screen glitches. Whenever it’s turned on every few seconds the screen will go black and then turn back on. It doesn’t matter if it’s on the home screen or in an app. My son tried to use this kindle many times during “homeschooling” and it would not work. Because of COVID it took me awhile to get to costumer service as this problem has been going for a few months. Once I was able to talk with someone they told me that because it was purchased through Target they are not responsible for replacing it. This doesn’t make since to me as it’s an amazon product.
Years ago I had a problem with my iPad. I contacted Apple not the store that I purchased it from (which was also Target). They spent time on the phone with me and tried to fix my device. When they couldn’t they sent me a new device since the iPad wasn’t even a year old.
I guess you get what you pay for and I payed for junk and received crap costumer service. I know we’re I’ll be purchasing my kids next device from. I would give this Kindle 0 stars and Costumer Service a 0 rating as well for not even trying to trouble shot the problem. I wonder if I call Target if they have techs to help determine the problem. I doubt it since it’s an Amazon product.

Good value small tablet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 7, 2021

Style: Fire HD 8Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: Twilight BlueVerified Purchase

I found I as using my previous Fire HD quite a lot just for ad hoc internet queries and more recently doing puzzles and adventure games . I needed to change as the old one wasn't able to cope with newer mainly graphics based web pages .The battery is as good as on my old one and lasts for ages given intermittent use of the device . Battery life is one of the big plus points for me as continually charging devices is a real bugbear of life these days !
