Q: Can you read books and see the screen in the sun?

submitted by Wahini - 3 months ago
  • A: Hello Wahini, thank you for your question. The Fire HD 8 does not have a glare-resistant screen. If you are looking for a device that is great for reading in the sunlight, I would suggest looking into Kindle devices. They are made specifically for reading, so they have a glare free screen and extended battery life. I hope that helps, have a great day!

Not great for roblox

Bought this for my daughter solely for roblox as advertised, but its too slow and the game play is choppy.
1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 9 days ago
Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the Fire HD 8 Tablet. We're sorry to hear that the Roblox performance didn't meet your expectations. While the Fire HD 8 can run Roblox, you're right that some more complex Roblox games may experience slower performance compared to higher-end devices. For the best Roblox experience on the Fire HD 8, we recommend: Closing other background apps before playing Ensuring your tablet has the latest system updates Using lower graphics settings within Roblox Playing on a strong WiFi connection If you're still experiencing issues, our customer service team would be happy to help troubleshoot or discuss return options within the return window. Please contact us at 1 888-280-4331. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our products for all customers. Best regards

I could not get the initial setup completed. I had to reset to factory settings 2 times and could never get it completed due to advertisements locking the screen and there was no way to get back to where I was at. I then decided I would not be happy with it. The concept is great in size and weight for reading, which is basically what I intended it for. However, it is nice to be able to access the internet to download more book sources. I found the setup very frustrating.
1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 13 days ago
Dear Donna, We're truly sorry about your 1-star experience with the Fire HD 8 tablet. The setup difficulties you encountered - including intrusive ads blocking the process and requiring multiple factory resets - are completely unacceptable, especially when they prevented you from even getting started with your device. You're right - the tablet's size and weight should make it perfect for reading, which was your intended use. It's particularly frustrating that basic setup issues prevented you from experiencing these benefits. For any customers experiencing similar setup issues: Our technical support team can help bypass ad-related setup blocks We can guide you through a clean setup process We can help configure the device specifically for reading use Please contact our support team at 1 888-280-4331 if you'd like assistance, or we can help with return process if preferred. Best regards,
Donna

I already have the 10" fire tablet but I wanted something smaller so it's easier to take with me And this tablet is at a perfect price with the deals going on now. This tablet has surpassed my expectations. It's able to do everything I needed it to do (browsing, reading, YouTube, and note taking) I believe it might even be faster than my 10" fire tablet.

Dear Andrea, Thank you for such a detailed and enthusiastic 5-star review of the Fire HD 8! We're thrilled to hear that it's not only meeting but exceeding your expectations, especially as someone who already owns a Fire HD 10. Your comparison between the two tablets and observation about the HD 8's performance is particularly valuable feedback. It's wonderful to hear that you're taking advantage of its portability while still enjoying all your favorite activities - from browsing and reading to YouTube and note-taking. We're also glad you were able to get it during a good sale! Thank you for being a loyal Fire tablet user and for taking the time to share your experience with others.

The Wise Man's Tablet

I have bought and owned many Kindle devices, and continue to think of them as the Poor Man's iPad, freeing me from care and concern over loss, theft or damage because of its price point, and yet offering much of the same ability as the iPad with increased storage options because of the SD card capacity! And more importantly, Target had it in stock so I could replace my wife's device in an hour when she needed it for a trip she was taking that evening!
1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 26 days ago
Hello Corey! Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Kindle devices. I appreciate your perspective on their excellent value as an affordable alternative while providing substantial functionality, especially with expandable SD card storage. It's wonderful that Target's availability allowed you to quickly replace your wife's Kindle in time for her evening trip. Your feedback about the combination of affordability, functionality, and peace of mind regarding loss or damage highlights exactly what makes these devices appealing to many customers. Thank you for your continued loyalty to Kindle devices, and I hope your wife's replacement continues to serve her well!

Stay away from this tablet. I think the reviews are fake. Using the browser was horrible. Ten mins to get to the google search, and when you click on the website you were looking for, it gets stuck on loading again and then crashes each time. Also, I could not download an app because it also crashes when looking for an app. Overall, not worth it.
1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 30 days ago
Dear Ammy, We sincerely apologize for your disappointing experience with the 2024 Fire HD 8 tablet. The performance issues you've described - slow browsing, crashes during searches, and app download failures - are certainly not acceptable for any tablet, regardless of price point. Your specific concerns about: Extremely slow browser performance Repeated crashes Issues with app downloads Website loading failures are all significant problems that would seriously impact the usability of the device. If you still have the tablet, you may want to contact Amazon Device Support at 1-888-280-4331 for troubleshooting or return options, as these issues seem unusually severe and might indicate a defective unit. Thank you for providing such specific feedback to help other potential customers make informed decisions.

I wasn’t a fan.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m just not a fan of this tablet. Honestly it’s super slow and laggy. It did do well with my Libby and Kindle app but that’s literally it. Social media or larger resources just aren’t mad for this tablet. It’s slow and not good quality out put for videos.

Bought for sole purpose, struggles

I bought this on sale for $60 and it struggles to run reading.com's app for teaching kids how to read which isn't a particularly intensive app. When it plays the alphabet song it pauses ~3 times per second making the song choppy.
1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 4 months ago
Hello sj! Thank you so much for your time, feedback, and review on your Fire HD8 tablet. I am so sorry to hear that you are having issues with it running the specific app that you purchased this device for. One thing you can do to troubleshoot is to see if you have too many apps running in the background taking up some processing power and causing your tablet to run slow. You can do this by tapping the Multitask icon in the lower right of your screen. Here you can swipe up apps that you are not using at the time or swipe all the way over and tap Close All. This should free up some processing power and allow your tablet to run smoother. You can also see if there are any pending updates needed to assist in resolving some concerns. You do this by navigating to Settings>Device Information>Check for Updates. If there are updates pending, it may power cycle once or twice. If none of these tips help, then I would recommend contacting us directly at Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331. Thank you again for your time and feedback and I hope this resolves your issues. Have an amazing day!

Love This Product

The Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet exceeded my expectations. It's the perfect compact size tablet I was looking for, 8 inches. If you're looking for a great product give the Amazon Fire a try. Regardless of the size you choose, I think you will love it. I purchased one for my wife, she really likes the Amazon Fire Tablet as well.

Great for teens

It’s a great small tablet. My daughter wanted something she could read with at school and it not be her phone. This met her requirement of fitting in her hoodie pocket. She can easily slide it into her book bag, purse, etc. lots of accessories available on Amazon.
