Love it!
First of all, this isn’t an iPad, not even in competition with one so don’t compare it to that. I view the fire tablet line to be solely for media consumption in which they excel at. They’re a great starter tablet for younger kids and teens because of the price and durability.Packaging was simple with minimal plastic. Setup took a few seconds with an available amazon account.The tablet itself is light and portable. The screen looks good and the sound comes out fine although not as loud as I would like. The volume is better when using headphones. Bluetooth pairing is also really quick and reliable.I use this tablet mainly for reading kindle books and magazines and browsing the amazon app. I also watch Netflix and Hulu and YouTube with ease.I couldn’t care less about google play store because I was able to download all the apps I frequently use on the device for free. I do know that you can add google play store if you so desired so there’s no problem there.I don’t use the tablet to game so I can’t speak on that aspect but overall, as a budget tablet I like using the fire hd 8 a lot when I need to go out and don’t want to lug around my heavier and more expensive iPad.I don’t care for the camera on this tablet but it’s not bad in its own right. The camera on this tablet is mediocre but gets the job done and your expectations for it shouldn’t be that high to begin with in all honesty. A better camera will drive up the price and just how often do you actually use it should be a question you genuinely ask yourself before you start docking stars for the camera.This is a great little device for media consumption if you want a bigger screen to work with than your regular-degular smart phone. HIGHLY recommend for media consumption and kindle reading. Super affordable, comfortable to hold thanks to the larger uniform bezels and portable for on the go usage. Battery life is also great considering the brightness levels I keep it at and charged via USB TYPE C which is a bonus.

Great tablet (Amazon, why was my first review removed?)
The media could not be loaded. 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.- SpeedThe 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.- ChargingType-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.

Me gusta demasiado!!! La uso solo para lectura, no compre Kindle paperwhite porque está en blanco y negro y de vez en cuando me quiero dar un gustito de una película, soporta las apps que uso y las que no están en tienda bajo el APK, todo excelente por un gran precio

Att du hittar dina appar.
Lite knöligt att hitta appar för läsplatta.

Basura
Es una porquería, han arruinado un buen diseño físico y características de harware aceptables con una versión mutilada de chrome, la tablet solo sirve para comprar cosas, y estando en latinoamerica, donde amazon no existe, es un ladrillo, lo devolví a las 24 hs y me compré una tablet con android real. Pague un poco más pero valió totalmente la pena
