Good: Inexpensive, high battery life, adequate performance, USB-C charging Bad: Hard to hold, thick and heavy for screen size, unacceptable button placement, wireless charging turns device into echo show with ads - a feature I would pay to remove! I have owned three Fire HD 8 tablets and each generation has gotten more annoying to use because of compromises in the design intended to make them less expensive to produce. I am extremely happy that Amazon has decided to market this upgraded version with 3 GB of RAM because that is now the minimum needed to run Android or Fire OS smoothly. The 1.5 that came with my second Fire HD8 never worked - it just isn't enough anymore, whereas the 2 GB that came with my first HD8 waa plenty for that era. I think Amazon was foolish to make that change on the base HD8 because of the added frustration to the end user, but at least there is a choice to upgrade to this "plus" version with its frustration-free 3GB setup. Is the experience as smooth or responsive as even the least expensive iPad? Certainly not. But those start at $400 and this was closer to $120. What I really want is a $185 option that combines this specification or better with the physical design and form factor of earlier Fire HD8 generations, because when it comes to physical design this generation of Fire tablets is extremely annoying! I am sure the changes are all designed to minimize cost but please find a better to do that than to put the power and volume buttons so close together with such a similar size and feel. It is far too easy to press the power button to begin with because it protrudes to far from the case and doesn't have a very strong spring, but when you put it right next to an identical feeling volume button that is just unacceptable! There is good reason why almost every phone and tablet in the world has these buttons in different locations ( often opposite sides or ends of the phone.) I happen to believe that it probably would work to have both buttons on the same end as the charger and headphone jack but not if you put them this close together, and give them exactly the same tactile feel and the same overly light spring rate. Please at least recess the power button, use a different surface texture and a stiffer spring. Or better yet move it to the opposite corner where the headphone Jack is now. And for users with the current, unfortunate design you could eliminate the worst effects with a software update. Just modify the software to require a longer press of the power key before it shuts down the display. If a one-second press were required then it would eliminate 90% of the instances when I have accidentally shut down the screen trying n to change the volume. With no security options other than a pass code, tis means I almost every time I try to adjust the volume while listening to a podcast or watching a video I have that experience interupted and I end up having to enter my pass code and physically restart what I was listening to just because I tried to adjust the volume. This design choice just doesn't work. Fix it, Amazon! Another cost saving design choice is that Amazon has allowed the HD8 tablets to get thicker each generation, which I agree is probably reasonable. But between the thicker body and the much smaller bezel compared to previous generations, I am finding this version much more difficult to hold. I actually think the sensitivity of the screen might also be a factor because if I put fingers on the front edge if the glass at all this registers as a touch. So to prevent that my fingers must stay on the plastic, and there just isn't enough plastic on the front bit the tablet to get a good grip. That gives the impression of the tablet being heavier and more awkward than it probably is. And again this could be an issue that might be addressed with software if the screen sensitivity could be decreased a bit to reject unintended "touches" at the edges ( in this case beyond the edges). of the screen. My final gripe is going to be about the behavior of the device when put on a wireless charger. Oddly, when I want to use a wireless charger my intention is to actually charge the device. It is not to turn my tablet, for which I paid extra to have ads removed from the lock screen into an always on Echo Show with advertising! I'm sure there are some people who might actually use an Echo Show and for them this must feel like an amazing value. Like getting a second device for free. But I just want it gone. I would never willingly use, much less purchase, an Echo Show, particularly one with a working camera, because I can't accept the privacy and security risk. And I certainly don't want another device showering.me with advertising. That said, I don't object at all into Amazon including the Echo Show functionality with the tablet, or even having it run by default when you connect it to a wireless charger, but there needs to be clear documentation about how to control this feature and how to turn it off both permanently and temporarily. Without that I am actually losing two features I specifically paid for on this tablet, wireless charging and freedom from advertising. Please do a much better job explaining this feature and how to control it as you update the device software

I found out what was wrong with my 7" fire after I got this tablet. I got the 7" to play my games on because I wanted to play on a bigger screen that is light. However, I had a problem within months of getting it & called customer service. The representative did screen sharing & although she couldn't exactly figure out the problem, she found a solution. Months later, though, I had the same problem, but was so ticked off about it that I didn't call for a long time. Finally called & as soon as I told rep about issue playing facebook games, he said to call facebook. Obviously rep is not familiar with facebook, because you can't call them. You message them on pc/app. I explained that I kept receiving an error message about an embedded browser, but the rep wouldn't screenshare to see what I was seeing & just wanted to get me off the phone & not try to solve my problem. After that, call, I worked on my facebook settings to see if I could get my games to work again & had initial success but had the problem again. I mention all this because the same thing happened with the 8", but this time I had clues from my 7" issues to help me solve the problem. Initially I played my games without using a sd card, but I had problem when I put it in. I erased & reformatted it first & received a warning that it may slow things down. It did. My game was so slow that I took out the sd card. This took out all the games I had transferred, so I put the card back in and got the embedded browser error message. I tried a new sd card, same issue plus another issue I had had with my 7". I kept get messages when I opened my tablet that the sd card was missing & it wouldn't let me use it till I 'reinserted' the sd card. The sd card was never missing, it was in the tablet the entire time, but i took it out then put it back in. THAT was the PROBLEM the whole time, the SD CARD! I didn't play games on the 7" till after I put in sd card. Since I played games on the 8" before putting in sd card I knew the problem wasn't the facebook's, but Amazon's. The way the device is set up, it is finicky about the sd card. Device doesn't always recognize that the sd card is in & taking it out & putting it back in just causes problems with apps that were moved to it. The best option is to NOT USE SD CARD. I took out the sd card, did a factory reset (I had just bought this & the only thing I had done on it was play games, so I didn't lose anything) then set it back up and enjoyed my games again. You CAN play facebook games on fire devices because they are on the app store, there is no problem with facebook, it's the sd card. My recommendation is that if you use a lot of apps on a tablet, buy the tablet with more storage. Using a sd card is more headache that it is worth. Also, I tried 2 different brands of sd card & same issue. I bought the 32GB tablet which does suit my needs. Also, this device works fine. I would have given it 5 stars if it hadn't been for the sd card issue. Do Not Use SD Card! What really bums me out is that I finally figured out what the issue was on the 7" fire, but only after I'd traded it for a bigger tablet. I thought that the issues I was having were because the 7" wasn't as advanced as the 8" which I thought was weird since I had an older 7" that worked fine. The Amazon reps need new training to better help with Fire issues such as I had. I didn't appreciate being brushed off by the last rep I spoke with & if the reps did get better training, I would have still have the 7" that I really wanted. On the plus side, due to Amazon's error/poor training, you now know Not to get a sd card for your Fire.
