Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet 8" HD Display 32 GB Black (2024 release) – with ads + Amazon 5W USB Original Charger and Power Adapter

Great Budget Tablet for Everyday Use — Especially for Amazon UsersI've been using the Fire HD 8 (2022) for a few weeks now, and for the price, it's a solid little tablet that gets the job done.Pros:Affordable & Durable: For under $100 (and often on sale), it's hard to beat. The build feels sturdy, yet it's light and easy to carry around.Battery Life: Easily lasts 12+ hours with casual use. Great for streaming or reading without constantly reaching for the charger.Amazon Integration: If you use Kindle, Prime Video, Audible, or Alexa, this tablet makes it all super convenient.Speakers: Surprisingly good stereo sound with Dolby Atmos for watching videos.Cons:Limited Apps: Since it doesn't have the Google Play Store, you're stuck with the Amazon Appstore. Some popular apps (like YouTube or Gmail) aren't natively available, although workarounds exist.Performance: It's fine for browsing, reading, or streaming, but don't expect it to handle heavy multitasking or gaming.Screen: The 8" HD screen is okay—not super sharp, but good enough for casual use.Overall, it's a great choice for kids, travel, or anyone who needs a cheap tablet for streaming, reading, or light web browsing. Just know what you're getting: it’s not a high-end tablet, but for the money, it’s a great value—especially if you're already in the Amazon ecosystem.Would definitely recommend for casual.

A good handy little tablet to replace the fire 7 I have had for quite a few years. Useful, easy to use and convenient

Great 2nd tablet for the kitchen once Play Store added, best advised to purchase 64GB storage and 4GB memory to ensure adequate performancePerfect time to purchase is during prime sales periods when they are a better alternative to generic Android tablets also aimed as budget devices as you can update these every few years during sales and trade ins when models updated.Very much best suited for internet and entertainment use vs productivity and especially for Prime subscribers if you lack the ability to add Play Store to widen the apps you can use.Again, like most generic budget tablets - not aimed at productivity and best to aim for 64GB/4GB variant to ensure good performance and ability to load apps as apps on an SD card will slow the entire device on and increasingly apps use more and more storage.

I previously owned an earlier version of the Fire 8 tablet, which had slowed down, was very well worn and really needed replacing. I only use it for browsing, reading and a bit of online shopping, so I don't need anything other than a very basic tablet, which this is but for my needs it's ideal, especially as I used trade in option with a limited time offer which made the cost only £35. (not sure I would want to pay the full price as the Amazon operating system has definite limitations on app availability unless you're comfortable sideloading Google Play).It's not lightening fast, for the price I wouldn't expect it to be-but it's absolutely fine for browsing etc. and definitely better than my previous tablet. It wouldn't be suitable for someone who wants something to multi task or play games, but for the price I paid, I don't think there's anything comparable. It's lightweight and the size makes it easy to hold and stick in a bag or pocket.Be aware that if you want it for things like online banking, for example, you won't find the necessary apps in Amazon's own app store, so check before buying if particular apps are necessary to you.

A great tablet! I eventually traded in my old kindle for a more up to date one and am SO pleased I did! Not only is the larger screen easier to use but the higher RAM and memory allows me to download more stuff, makes the device far quicker and really gives you a great choice of apps you can have. As well as reading books and going online, I use the kindle for watching TV and films as it's compatible with the Sky Go and Disney+ apps as well as Amazon Prime and the screen quality is great! A versatile and adaptable tablet for everything from reading books to gaming to watching films. Highly recommend!

Easy to set up and buy books to read. Compact size makes it easy to carry around. Adverts not that intrusive.

I bought my Fire 8 in the Prime Sale, and got it for £50, which is a proper bargain. I basically bought it to use as a colour Kindle mainly for recipe books because it’s cheaper than even the basic Kindle, and much much cheaper than the colour Kindle. It does this job brilliantly, I can see all my recipes in glorious colour, it’s just like having a colour Kindle.But then there’s everything else it does too, that a Kindle can’t do - there’s video, there’s web browsing, music, email, games, streaming platforms like Prime, Netflix, Paramount, Sky/NOW TV, BBC iPlayer and so on, audiobooks, Alexa, even photo tools. I have Word, Excel, MS Notes and Outlook on there too. Okay so the app range is quite limited compared to an iPad or Android tablet, but it has all the standard stuff most people use in their average week.For a very low cost tablet, the Fire 8 is unbelievable good value when in a Sale. It’s cheaper than a black and white Kindle and does far more stuff. Compared to the colour Kindle, it’s an absolute steal.Even though I own an iPad Pro, I still use this in preference when I’m reading books or cooking and need the recipe easily available. It’s also small enough to fit in my coat pocket, or slot into my bag, so I take it with me when I have hospital or Doctors’ appointments, or I’m on the train.Two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼
