**PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS REVIEW IS FOR A 64G (with ads) ~~ White ~~ Adapter and USB cable Incl EVEN THOUGH AMAZON IS POSTING THIS IS AS A 32G BLACK** A GREAT LITTLE TABLET FOR WHAT IT IS. If you're a diehard Amazon customer like I am, then Amazon devices can't be beat for hooking one up to everything that Amazon World offers. And let's not forget Alexa makes it all even easier. I never thought I'd need or buy a Fire tablet, since I'm already covered with a new laptop, Kindle Reader, 2 Android tablets, and a Samsung phone. My bases were already covered and my nearly 3,000 Kindle books were accessible in several ways. Prime Video and Music work great on all my existing devices, plus I have 2 regular Firesticks and 1 4K Firestick. So why get a Fire tablet? Well, my two tablets were made obsolete for Kindle when Amazon recently SOMEHOW deregistered both of them from my account and I wasn't able to download the newest Kindle app and repopulate my library. Long story. Enter Fire Tablet HD 8 just when I needed a new device for the Kindle app and the Prime Day price was unbeatable ... Buying the tablet was really a no-brainer, and a necessity at the time. I ordered the newest 64G WITH ADS and am ecstatic with that choice. After considerable research in comparing capabilities, the 8 was better than the 8 Plus or the 10" tablet. I don't recommend going lower than 64G even though the 32G is less expensive and memory is expandable. That perk has never worked out well on any device, and we all know that music, movies, and books will gobble up memory faster than a cheetah runs. The white matte finish looks great, but there are things to know before you buy. ** LONG BATTERY LIFE: Surprisingly, I recharge this tablet ONCE EVERY 3 DAYS, despite having it turned on all day with WiFi, and doing alot of Kindle reading. ** SIMPLE OPERATION: After some glitches during setup, and a thorough investigation of the tablet and settings, operation was a snap. ** SETUP ISSUES: I had lots of setup issues due to the endless system updates that were necessary and had to be done in a certain way and order that I couldn't have done on my own even though I'm very savvy with electronics. THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS and it was confusing. That meant being on the phone with tech support to get it all squared away properly. If you're typically Android, this tablet IS NOT ANDROID. IT'S AMAZON. There are similarities, but it's an AMAZON DEVICE THROUGH AND THROUGH. ** SIDEWALK OPTION: Once set up, if you want to opt out of Sidewalk it's very easy within settings. ** ANDROID CONVERTIBLE: For those concerned that it isn't Android and can't download Google Play apps, just go on line for easy instructions on downloading 4 APK files and a launcher in order to turn the tablet into Android and download any apps you want, then create a separate home screen for the Android apps. The current screen is all Amazon apps. Once done, you'll have the best of both worlds combined. ** QUIRKY GLITCHES: I've only had the tablet a few weeks and already there are glitches. The screen occasionally freezes, won't respond to touch, or pages won't open or navigate properly. If you're a heavy reader like I am with an extensive Kindle library and also frequently use Goodreads, there are more glitches. The books that you have "read" do not always synch into your GR account on the tablet. My "friend" count on GR is also incorrect. GR notifications are spotty. It helps that I double check on my phone app and also email, which are both accurate and up to date on GR notifications. ** A BRICK: Heavier than expected. If you're used to Samsung or Apple, this tablet will feel like a brick and also a bit thick. Expected it to be slimmer and lighter in design. ** SCREEN QUALITY: Picture quality not as sharp or good for movies as my Samsung. You'll notice the difference, but it's still good enough. ** DIFFERENCES: Amazon versions of apps are not quite the same as Android versions. Microphone dictation Notes and Highlights on Kindle books sucks. It doesn't understand most words you say, and you need to close and re-open the microphone to repeat. Very cumbersome and ineffective. This feature works flawlessly on Android, but I often have to type notes manually when I get fed up with the wonky microphone. The whole page layout of books in Kindle App is a bit spotty. Noticed a big difference in the way the Tablet Kindle App operates as opposed to Google Play version on an Android device. Sometimes, I get fed up with the issues, and just read for awhile on my phone when I want to do lots of highlights and notes on a book for reviews. ** DON'T BE AFRAID TO GET THE TABLET "WITH ADS"! You'll save $15, and can pay it back later if you want the ads removed. The ONLY time I see ads is when I first turn on the tablet on the opening screen. That's it. See my photo of the book ad. No other ads appear during use or at the bottom of the screen as with my Kindle Reader. It's more of a screen saver that swipes away. As long as you are on the tablet and the screen doesn't go dark, no new or additional ads will appear. ** TOUCH SCREEN RESPONSIVENESS: The screen doesn't always respond. Locks up. Not sure if this will get worse or "it is what it is". NOT an issue that I have with Android. ** DIFFERENT LAYOUTS: Amazon Prime Video not laid out the same as Android. I couldn't even find my Watch List, until I noticed my profile icon and "My Stuff" at bottom of the screen. Why so different Amazon? ** ADJUSTMENT PERIOD: This tablet will take some adjustment, especially if comparing to Android. Although it's geared for Amazon apps, there are more glitches than I prefer, the same as has been happening with all the recent website feature changes on the PC. It's an okay tablet and perfectly functional especially for Kindle books, music, and Prime Video if you have those subscriptions. 1st 6 months of Washington Post is free. Personally, the tablet needs some improvements and is adequate, but a bit less than expected. It's not the ideal option if you want Android capability, but remember that it is convertible. Because I bought it on Prime Day, I also got a free 3-month, first-time subscription to Disney +, Hulu, and ESPN. I see that offer is still available in another way on Amazon that still might apply to this purchase, so if you're thinking of buying be sure to check the promo with customer service first. Overall, I'm happy with the tablet, the memory, and the functionality of Amazon World in general which I navigate on a daily basis, but there are some limitations from an android standpoint. FYI: My photos show the main screen with pre-loaded Amazon apps, an example of a "free ad", and one with the Prime Video screen.

Device: Kindle Fire 8 (10th Generation) I purchased 8 of these Fire tablets for use in an elementary classroom. They were to be used exclusively to access the Myon ereader app through our district’s Clever page. Sounded simple enough! Yet, I have had the most frustrating experience with educational technology I have ever had. First, I set up a child’s profile so that I could limit what the students had access to. The child’s profile comes preloaded with 100 videos/apps on the home screen! It was insane! (Note that this is not the “Kids” Fire, just a regular one with a child profile set up.) It took 4 different customer serv agents and about 3 hours to finally find someone who could tell me how to turn them off. It ended up being a simple toggle, so how could that many people not know how? (This was after I had searched through multiple threads online from frustrated parents with the same issue.) FYI, in the child’s profile, toggle off the option to Enable web access. However, this means that you will then have to go in an Allow Content for every app that you do want them to access as well as allow every web page they can go to. For me, not a huge deal because I bought these for one specific purpose, but as you will see below, even that was a ridiculously frustrating process. After figuring out the toggle solution, I started going into the settings of each Kindle to set them up. On the 8th and final Kindle, it didn’t work. After restarting and then trying to power off/wait/power on, I finally decided to delete the profile and reinstall it. Upon doing this, the child profile interfaces of ALL 8 tablets completely changed. The original wallpaper/setup was single solid light blue page with cloud outline in background. After I reinstalled the profile, the wallpaper was a black/aqua/purple paint splatter with a “For Me”, “Home”, and some other tab. Under the For Me tab were ALL the videos and apps that I had disabled access to. Even though the toggle was set to disable, they were all back and could be opened. I then factory reset the device, and it still didn’t work. I finally tried to create yet another new child profile, and then it finally went back. No rhyme or reason. So, now to the task of setting them up for Myon. I downloaded the Myon app, but it would not work. I think this was an issue on our district permission side. (And even though I did a press/hold and told it to remove the app from the profile and then completely deleted Myon from my account via the Content and Devices setting of my Amazon.com account, it was still showing up! And if the child tapped it, it became stuck in a loop of trying to install an app that was no longer there.) Anyway, I was told by our Academic Tech dept to go through the Clever app. Guess what – it’s not available on the Amazon app store. So, I had to go through the web. In the Allow Content section of Settings, you can allow specific websites, which is great. However, even though I allowed the website to access Clever, at every step, the child’s profile web browser said no permission. I had to enable every single page the kids will go through to get to their Myon account, and even then they have to know to navigate around an “Uh oh” page that still pops up every time, even though I allowed it. Because of this, I needed to make step-by-step instructions by taking screenshots so I could print for the kids so they could remember all these steps. However, screenshots taken while in child’s profile cannot be located anywhere, not in the child or adult profiles. (Camera and photo storage had been enabled.) Regular photos taken with the camera could be found in the photos app, and I found an online thread suggesting going through the Files app, but they are nowhere to be found. I can’t take the screenshots in the adult profile because the screen looks completely different. I spent 20 minutes on chat with a CSR this morning only to be told he would ‘notify the team.’ The threads I read about this same issue were from 2020 and 2021, so I’m sure they know and have chosen not to fix it. My multiple chat sessions were also frustrating. With this particular one, I took the time to write out, in detail, the exact steps I followed, only to have him ask – two separate times - if I had tried something that I had already said I tried. I had this same issue with other CSR chats. These are the least knowledgeable CSRs I have ever dealt with. One, named Jestin, kept telling me to tap the Menu button, and there was not a menu button on my screen. After hanging up with her, I continued to research online, and found the exact script she was using, and it was for a Kindle eReader, not a Fire! She didn’t even have the right device, and she kept getting very angry with me when I couldn’t follow her instructions. She kept me on hold for 10 minutes when I asked to speak with someone else, then came back on and (unsurprisingly) said she couldn’t find anyone else. I usually have great customer service with Amazon, but they have truly failed with their training related to the Kindle Fire devices. They would have me wait for 10 minutes sometimes, only to come back and ask me to try something that I had already told them I tried. Almost every single thing I have tried to do with these has required me to spend an inordinate amount of time researching previous threads, chatting online with a specialist, or on the phone. It took 3 separate calls to finally get someone who was willing to take over my Fire so they could see what I was seeing, and even so, I still cannot use them in the way that I need to. You definitely get what you pay for, I guess. Such a shame when teachers have to use their own money to provide these opportunities for their students. I have wasted hours of my time and a lot of my money. I hope I can save another teacher some of this endless frustration.
