Review: Amazing Deal for the Price - I bought the tablet on Prime Day for a discounted price. For $50 I knew it was not going to be better than my previous tablet which was an iPad Air (1st generation) for which I paid 16 times more than the Fire HD 8. Since I gave my iPad to my daughter for school, I needed a tablet for myself. I didn't want to spend more than $500 on a tablet for sure, so this tablet was perfect for my budget. All I use my tablet for was to watch videos and reply to emails, so I knew I didn't need a powerhouse like the new iPad Pro. And most definitely I needed something portable, which the iPad Pro definitely isn't. So I decided to try out the Fire HD8. Honestly I am genuinely surprised with how much the HD8 has to offer. For $50 I was able to do a lot, so here are the cons and pros after using it for 1 month. Pros: Very affordable (get the one with ads, ads are only on the lock screen totally not intrusive, you save $15.00, close to 20% off total price) Alexa hands-free (amazing feature to control all my smart appliances at home) 720p video SD Card (unlike the iPad) Feels sturdy (I feel that if I drop the tablet it won't break fairly easy) Battery life (pretty solid battery for a small tablet, about 10 hours from my experience) Cons: Limited amount of apps from the desertcart app store (absolutely no google apps at all, made from google anyways, only knock-offs) Speakers (they are not very loud and it's very apparently once you start to consume media, but they are ok) Cameras (every time you open the cameras you'll feel as if you're back to 2005, but not a deal breaker for me though) Not a full Android experience (you will need to install the Play Store APK in order to get android apps, but not a lot of people will be able to) Laggy (it is laggy at times, especially if you have multiple apps open in the background, so try to close any apps you're not using) SD card slot is a very difficult to pop open... seriously (might have been just my unit though) Screen (resolution is adequate, especially considering the price, but it doesn't get too bright) Conclusion: In conclusion, I would totally recommend the HD 8 because I feel that for the price you are getting a lot. That being said, don't go in and expect the performance of an iPad because you won't find it. If you go in and know what to expect, you will enjoy the experience like I have. 6 Weeks Later: The tablet broke down on me. It got stuck on the booting screen. I called desertcart and the lady who helped me was absolutely not knowledgeable on how to fix the problem. She sent me a replacement instead, which I was happy for. 2 days later I receive it on my door. I opened the package and it was a refurbished unit sent to me. How do I know it was a refurbished unit? Well, it said so in the box it came in LOL. I paid for a brand new unit the day I bought it, and 6 weeks later it breaks down and now I am stuck with a REFURBISHED tablet. Needless to say, I am very disappointed that desertcart sent me a refurbished HD8 instead of another brand new one, but at least it works, for now anyways. I will post a follow up to see how the refurbished replacement holds up. Follow up: I have been using my HD8 for a while now and after the replacement was sent I have had no issues whatsoever. Battery lasts 2 days for me and I am pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend it!
Review: Surprised by the overall quality - buy one today - For years I thought about getting a cheap tablet for simple browsing, but Noooo, I had to have a name brand with all the bells and whistles. Fast forward a few years and a few dead batteries later, it was time to replace my name brand "doorstops". I've always hesitated with Fire HD tablets after reading reviews that indicated that they were slow, unresponsive, limited Apps in the desertcart store, yadda-yadda-yadda. Well, I bought one for an elderly family member last Christmas and played around with while I set it up. I was very impressed with this 8-inch especially after putting the Google Play store on it in order to install the Youtube App that she just had to have. I was so impressed that less than a month later I bought the 10-inch version. About a month later, I realized that the 8-inch version was the perfect size and fits your hand well while couch surfing. I then bought the 8-inch and haven't turned the 10-inch on ever since. It was passed the return date so I'm kind of stuck with 10-ich unless I decide to regift it. But again, I'm still impressed. Does it have a storage limitation? Yes, but that's what an micro-SD card if for and they are cheap. Does it have RAM limitation? Yes, but as long as you know that upfront and try to play games that require a lot of RAM, this tablet will suit you just fine. It's perfect for browsing, checking your e-mail, causal everyday games, watching Prime videos, Hulu, etc. The screen has great resolution for the price and form factor. Sound is fairly nice for a small tablet, better than most. I honestly don't miss my old "Sammy Note" at all. Overall the latest generation of Fire HD tablets are the best entry-level tablets money can buy. Need the Google Play Store? Do a Google search for "Play Store on Fire HD" and install it using the many steps-by-step instructions found on the net. It works, it's "easy" to set up and gives you access to all the Apps you "think" you need to have on a 8-inch Android Tablet. Still on the fence? Why? Don't procrastinate or hesitate due to the negative reviews from people who were too cheap to buy a tablet with a processor and the RAM designed for more powerful Apps. For the price and the casual use cases I mentioned above, this is the best value out there. Get one and see for yourself! The Jazzman

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pros and cons
*by B***Y on November 26, 2018*

Pros: The best tablet for the money out there IF you're willing to commit to the Amazon system (especially Amazon Prime). For tablet uses, I was. Brand-new updated version (Sept. 2018)(though, it's basically the previous version with a couple of newer improvements (?) Highly reliable, rugged, likable, user (idiot) - friendly, great place to start if you never owned a tablet before. I'd strongly suggest an add-on purchase of a cheap ($10-20 bucks) extra SD micro card for memory storage. It's super easy to pop-in, once you've seen a video (YouTube). The tablet should last years, with the automatic updates. Cons: And this is a big one: it's anti-Google/ Chrom./ Android. Yes, you can work around that with sideways apps., etc. but, essentially, Amazon only wants you to use THEIR apps. from THEIR app. store and THEIR search system, THEIR videos, music, etc.. A real irritation. Google-Amazon-Android: start working together. Make it easier for us. Another big problem for me right now is access/viewing my longer than 20 minutes videos on their system, including those on my Amazon Drive cloud system. You're kidding right, Amazon? Because, not only is this not a problem on my Android system, I was able to access/view via an Amazon Drive download app the Drive on my PREVIOUS Fire (HD 6 - 2016) (and, yes, I still can there ...). It's not permitted with this new version; only the "Photos" and "Videos" apps. which limit to 20 minutes. Long story short: I can access/view my long videos via my separate Google Drive anywhere, but I can only "download" same videos (e-mail link) if I use Amazon "Photos", "Videos" or "Drive" (unless <20 minutes). Unless there's some third-party app. wrap-around I haven't discovered yet, this is a big minus. Even if there is a third-party app. somewhere, it's a major inconvenience. I may rethink my future commitment to Amazon tablets if they don't modify this limitation, in the future. Finally, "Alexa". It's still in it's infancy, with a number of glitches. Unfortunately, this new 2018 edition is the first big roll-out of it, and so far, it's really just a gimmick, not terribly user-helpful.
