    This was a replacement for the previous model. Like the screen resolution improvement and the slightly larger size. It's easy to carry around while traveling and has more than adaquate storage capacity for my content. I've even started playing a few board games on the tablet, as well as quick email checks when necessary.

    My third Amazon tablet

    I have the old Kindle, the 7" Fire, and now the Fire 8" HD. I ran out of room with the old Fire, so I upgraded for more space. The HD is great for games or just looking at your pictures. I still use the other 2 tablets, and hope that this one lasts just as long as they have.

    The Amazon - Fire HD 8 - 8" - Tablet - 32GB was delivered quickly, set-up was easy as we already have another Kindle Fire, and the unit is terrific for our use (web browsing, YouTube, videos). The unit is fast, screen is very clear, and battery is good.

    Had been shopping for an e-reader, checking them all out, reviews, etc., and decided to just check out the tablets. Came across the Fire HD 8. Many more uses, versatile, really good as an e-reader, AND a lower price. Very satisfied with this purchase.

    Bought this for a Christmas gift that has yet to be delivered, so can't really say anything about its operational use. But I looked at a lot of tablets in the $100 - $125 range, and this unit seemed to have one of the better set of features (OS level, base memory, memory expandability).

    Tablet works great for a 7yr old. He has no trouble using it and playing with it. Simple entertainment for trips, car rides or when the weather is bad outside. Like the parental controls on it also.

    This is a great tablet. Very convenient. Great for instant access to information and the Internet when you don't want to fire up a desktop. Lots of software apps are available for downloading.

    I didn't need a super expensive tablet, I just needed a basic one for couple different apps I needed. This one works perfect. Need a basic tablet for Netflix or Hulu or Amazon this works great. But don't expect it to be Ipad.

    This is my first tablet and I am learning my way around and really enjoying myself. I keep finding more uses for it that I hadn't thought of. Glad to know I can add memory if need be.

    So far I have been very happy with this tablet. It is fast and user friendly. The camera is not very useful as the quality is lacking, but for me it does not make much of a difference.

    I upgraded from a smaller kindle to this new Fire HD 8 - much better resolution on the screen and I like that you can add memory with an SD Micro chip.

    Upgraded to 8inch because of great Best Buy Black Friday Deal - what a difference -- clearer, brighter, faster than my 7inch. A great upgrade!
