Absolute Bargain!
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 👍🏼👍🏼

Unbeatable value for money
My aging IPad gen 2 needed upgrading and I only seem to use the Kindle app and occasionally YouTube. This little tablet is absolutely perfect. It runs all the same apps that I had in the iPad with ease, no lagging. I’d forgotten how good an android performs. A fraction of the price of a new iPad and feels the same.

Great Tablet at a Great Price
Great tablet at a great price. I use it for kindle & it's super. I also have used it to watch netflix. Very easy to set up. Great battery life. I paid the extra to get without ads.

Ideal as a basic tablet. Limited accessibility to apps though.
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.

Bargain Tablet
Good buy at half price, replacing Kindle reader & old tablet, it's so much quicker. Bought a matt screen protector so that l can read outside & it works very well. Battery life is far better than my old tablet. Downloaded Google Play store as shown on YouTube & it is now perfect

Great for the money!
I had a HD10 which died after regular (Daily) use, so went with what I knew and bought the HD8 to replace it. I honestly don't understand all the mediocre reviews for this tablet by the tech sites. Yes, it's a limited and not very powerful tablet, but I don't need a powerful tablet. I mainly use mine to read via Kindle and to stream shows/movies. It does both of these things very well. The fact you can use a SD card to vastly increase storage space is great. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the speaker - music can sound tinny when streaming but link this to a decent Bluetooth speaker and it's no longer an issue. All in, if you are looking for a tablet for reading and watching Netflix, etc, then this is perfect.

Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet
My daughter absolutely loves her Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet! It's super easy to navigate, and even with heavy use, the battery lasts a long time. The color is vibrant and looks great, too. I’m so happy with this purchase that I ended up buying another one. Highly recommend!
