Best Value 8" Tablet on the Market! (Nothing else Compares for the Price.)
Best Value 8" HD Tablet on the Market! 1) Excellent Build Quality all-Round, gives the impression you could drop this unit and it would take some abuse. Great for Kids? 2) Improved Performance mine has 2GB RAM, Quad Processor (2022 12th Gen) Android 9.. I also put a 128gb SD card in mine, simple to do I know have my personal media library playing on it, and it is crystal clear, very enjoyable. Performs pretty well on everything. Certainly for everything I have asked it to do. 3) Dolby Atmos Sound all beit two small speakers the Sound quality from Amazon Music and my SD Card through VLC are exemplory, Crystal clear for what it is. 4) Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Functionailty was A1 Quite Brilliant. Once it knows your Boombar links straight to it each time when you want it. again given the Cost this is a superb Small Unit. DOWNSIDE? Not sure i would buy it if i was stuck with Silk Browser and just the Amazon Apps, Goodread, Audible, Amazon Kids etc...The first thing i do is put Firefox before doing any serious Web Browsing. Most secure and Independent Browser available - it is free also. It is really annoying Amazon that you cant uninstal Apps like any other App? that you wont need or use. Every User wants to Configure for their particular Preferences? - dont you Amazon People? STOP Stopping Customers from configuring it. If i was stuck with Silk Browser - A Major Security Risk online in this day and age. i wouldn't buy it. So apart from ending up with a dozen Apps i cant uninstall because i will never use them and they take resources they are parked on the Basement now cluttering the desktop - Annoying very!. Overall, in my opinion Buying this Tablet is a No-Brainer for £65 but you need a level of knowledge to set it up like any other Tablet in the Market! But, I give Total Credit to Amazon, their Hardware is Absolutely Faultess in Quality and Performance, i have found this across the board TV Sticks etc.... In my opinion if Amazon Product Team Opened their eyes and stopped making it just Amazon, (you say you put playstore on? I couldn't see it - but no real problem) then you have no Competition in value terms and it is Brilliant for kids - it cannot be beaten for price. The only other enhancement i would love to see would be a sim option to use outdoors. Really nice screen on my motorbike for the Sat Nav etc this would really open up the practical uses for it? it is definately durable enough to manage it well i am sure. That's it, just my opinion i hope it helps someone. Cheers Andy Watkins.

Brilliant
This tablet is amazing value (I got it in the Boxing Day sale 50% off) although it is worth paying full price, it does everything you could possibly want from a tablet although it has limited apps on the amazon app store, but it's simple to download google, you can also download Microsoft from amazon for free. It's so easy to setup and use, even for someone with no tech knowledge, battery life seems very good around 12 hrs. It feels sturdy and good quality casing. It's definitely well worth the money for a very decent tablet, so far I can't find any fault with it. I'm totally delighted with this purchase.

Long battery life and very responsive
I have a Fire 10 tablet but wanted a smaller one for travel. I already had the Fire 7" for reading but it was getting very slow. Amazon was offering a trade-in and I opted to trade in my Fire 7" for the Fire 8". The new tablet is very responsive and smooth. The battery life is also quite good, I usually use my Kindle mostly for reading but I have recently watched a movie and the quality of the video was brilliant, very clear. The table is light and easy to carry, very pleased with my new Kindle Fire HD 8"

Good budget tablet for the basics
I got this on the black Friday sale, needed a tablet for travelling. Quality of the screen is good, as is the sound quality, battery life is also pretty impressive. Alot to like about it, its a very good budget tablet for sure. I don't personally like that I can't change the background lock screen from the amazon logo but its minor I suppose. It's much better with google play store installed, you can find the instructions on installing it online but would have liked it if it came preinstalled but I suppose it is an amazon tablet. It can get laggy if you have too much open and does crash sometimes for no reason. But overall it performs well with things like reading, Youtube, Tik Tok, browsing etc. I'm happy with it for the price.If you want a budget tablet for the basics and this is on a deal go for it, its worth it.

Loving this tablet!
I have been the happy owner of a kindle fire (3rd generation) for many years and when it recently showed signs of dying on me, thought it time for an update. So glad I did! The updated technology has improved and I am getting far more from this tablet than from my old one. It's a bit of a learning curve getting used to how it operates as I had my previous version for over ten years but nothing that a bit of practice won't help. Beautifully clear screen and the adjustable light makes it easier to read in sunlight. The sound quality is good and I am able to programme in my ear pods, so no cumbersome wires.All in all, versatile, well designed, lightweight and excellent value for money. Suggest investing in a covert protect the screen, there is a good selection on offer.

Great product easy to use
I bought the tablet for my mother. I have just put on the Kindle for her and it is so easy to use. Mom is 96 years old and has found it great to read her books with being able to enlarge the words. I have a kindle but prefer to read on a iPad or a tablet. As mom has arthritis the buttons are easy for her to press and she is enjoying her reading, plus I can put audio books on as well and have joined kindle unlimited

Best buy of the year!!!!
Reasonably priced. Just the right size. You can change the size of font. You can add a sd card for more storage. Internet access. I paid a bit extra to be ad free. Well worth it. The only problem with that is, if you download games they always have adverts!! Great for audible off amazon. or Borrow box off your local library. This has been my best buy of the year.. I purchased it for the whole family, but its mine! You can also use it as a camera, lovely picture resolution. You can use ear phones, not included. Battery life is great. When it needs charging , if you forget, it will just stop working. I would have liked it in another colour. There are plenty covers you can purchase to protect it.
