This is an excellent tablet. When you buy Amazon tablets, it should be known you’re NOT getting an Android tablet. You’re getting Fire OS. But, you can still get Google apps on this tablet by downloading an APK of the Google Play store (which doesn’t root it or mess with warranty). It was between the Fire 7 or this one, & I opted for the extra price for more storage, better screen, & bigger size. I bought this tablet at Best Buy to take with me on the go rather than my iPad Mini. This is an amazing little thing. It runs fast, has a decent screen, is responsive, & has a great battery life. Yes, it has ads on the lockscreen, but they don’t bother me. I use this tablet for drawing & it actually is very good for it. I also use it to watch YouTube videos, although the speaker is extremely weak (not a huge trade off for me, I use headphones the majority of the time). Bluetooth connects great. Has a decent display, could be better, but it’s a budget tablet. You could technically get 2 Fire 7s for the price of this, but this is worlds better. I see no reason to go to the 10 inch unless you want a bigger screen. This is a great tablet. Absolutely nothing to complain about except a subpar speaker.

I got my Fire HD 8 on release day and set up was a breeze. I side loaded the Google Play store (check Youtube, it’s easy) and installed my favorite Google apps, Youtube, Google Play Music, Google 1, Google Drive,Google Docs and a slew of other apps I like from the Play Store that Amazon’s app store does not provide and I’m loving the tablet. It’s no speed demon but for the price I wasn’t looking for cutting edge technology. I also bought the cover and the docking station and switch between the two easily as I retire to my bedroom for the night. I previously was using a Fire 6 tablet and a Samsung Galaxy tab S3. The Kindle Fire 6 was great for it’s size and the Galaxy Tab was great (older now, less reliable battery life due to age) for the same reasons but this Kindle Fire HD 8 blends the best of both worlds for me regarding size. It’s a nice companion to have near, lets me use the apps that I like, moderate gaming, lots of reading and now having both Amazon Music and Google Play Music, a slew of options for music. If you are looking for a workhorse you’re better off with your iPad or mainstream Android tablet . If you are looking for a nice reliable multimedia hub, look no further than this tablet. The price is on point for the features it has provided thus far and I am happy with my purchase. it is a great middle of the road tablet and the price it can’t be beat. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because there is nothing revolutionary about this tablet. It’s not a must have by any means but it fits the casual niche perfectly
