It's book sized!!!
What I love most about this version of the Kindle Fire is that it is book sized!!! I plan to use my Kindle Fire to read mostly, and I love how the overall size is that of a typical book. The screen quality is amazing and it's super easy to navigate through all the apps and settings. The download speed is fast and there is a nice selection of apps. I did however discover that there is no Goodreads app in the appstore for some reason. However, the Kindle App is now connected to Goodreads by default now which is a new discovery on my part. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase!!!

Bought it for my 70-year old Mom
I bought this tablet for my elderly mother. It replaced her 5-year old Fire 8 Tablet, which still worked fine. This newest version is nearly identical to the old model except for more RAM and a faster processor chip.She's very happy with it and there was no learning curve because it operates just like the old tablet. I chose the Fire 8 instead of the 10 inch tablet because it's lighter and easier to hold for my mother's frail hands. She mainly uses the tablet to browse the internet and video streaming. Battery life is excellent.I would recommend getting an anti-glare screen protector and a faster charger (both of which you can get on Amazon). The charger that comes with the tablet is pretty slow.I like that Amazon gives you a trade-in discount when you mail in your old Fire tablet. That was a big reason why I chose to get another one.

Really enjoying this tablet
So, I had a Kindle 7 HDX which I really loved. It was 13 years old but was such a great product. One of my favorite things that I loved about it was it's viewing quality. I loved watching movies and playing games on this thing! Thus I was really sad when it stopped taking a charge and I could no longer access the app store to get new games. So I bought the 2024 version of the Kindle Fire 8. I will say it the layout now looks more like my Iphone than an Amazon integrated product. It has the feel of a regular tablet, I had to actually remind myself that it was a Kindle. However, I will say after a day of setting it up and getting used to the new look, I've learned to really like it. I will admit that the quality of the screen is just not as sharp as the my old one, but you know, it's really not bad. I have played a couple of hidden object games on it and they were good. However, bear in mind I have noticed that there are quite a few games out there that just won't work well with this newer technology. Anyhow, I primarily use this to watch movies and they are acceptable. There are some that just show better than others. I would love it if Amazon would come back with another HDX technology tablet, but for now I will except what I can get. I also do some of my Bible reading on this one and it is actually very good. I do most of my reading on my paperwhite because it is so much easier on my eyes, but this tablet is really good for navigating the various aspects of my Bibles. By the way, it really holds a charge like a dream. My old one was draining like crazy. Overall this is a great product and I would recommend it. Had I not had the Kindle HDX, I would never have known the difference.

I love my Fire Tablets but they still can't do the Google Play Store or allow Haystack news.
For their lacking RAM these hold terrific value and one of the best build qualities. Their batteries last a long time. I have had two Fire 8.9" HDX tablets and one still here that still holds its charge. It was expensive for its time but had everything except a micro SD card slot. I have also had the Fire HD 8, and two Fire HD8+. I had a Fire 10 and rarely used it about five years ago. I now have the Fire 11 Max and keyboard case for it, and still have a Fire HD 8+ 2022 version.I also have three Surface tablets, a Go 2 m3, a Surface Pro 7+ LTE, and a Surface Pro 9 i7/1TBSSD/16GB RAM. As well two S9 FE Samsung Galaxy Tablets one 5g model. No I do not do Apple anything. They are fine for less techie types. NO iPads, no iPhones, certainly no Macs without touch screens or SD card storage.I do not want to reconfigure my OS to get the Playstore on my Fire tablets because they then lose updates or updates revert them or brick them. I can change the OS version but why? I can spend a tiny bit more for Android tablets and have it all.I took off one star because they still do not allow the Google play store nor allow Haystack News which I have on my S9 Android tablets, my Pixel 9 phones and my windows computers and tablets. I do have Haystack News on all our Fire TVs but can't download it or get it from the Amazon store.If their 8" tablets are 1280 x 800 (189 ppi) not full HD like the Fire Max 11 I have.I believe if the 8" had full HD at least 1920X1080, 6GB RAM and 32 GB storage with their micro SD card slot, and the Play store and Haystack news I would ditch all my other tablets except my Surface devices and buy HD8 current models..Now that would be a winner. Do that (Full HD, 6GB RAM, Make a deal with the Google play store, we are not "idjits." Amazon's Tablet UI is Android produced by Google! But with Amazon held back by Amazon.I have seen Chinese tablets with those specs for ~$100.00 - $$125. If Amazon did that with their Fire tablets, especially the 8", I believe they would take over the market. And I love the kid proof sponge cases with the built in stand. When I fall asleep reading and wake up on top of them, none have broken or had any issues. I may end up buying a replacement battery for my old 8.9" HDX, open it up and change the battery. It is a royal PITA with a good chance of screen breakage, or getting a defective battery.

Another great Fire Tablet!
This replaced an older model of the same size that quit charging. I guess the internal plug came loose, but I'm not about to try to unglue a Fire tablet to repair it. I was happy this was on a good sale and I could get credit for returning my non-functioning Fire for recycling and get a small credit.I love my Fire tablet. I also have two very old ones that are still working, but just too slow, so I use them only for one or two specific things. That prevents the frustration of waiting for the tablet to respond to whatever I want it to do.
