While the Fire HD 8 processor isn’t the fastest in the market, the tablet performed well, opening and switching between apps quickly. Amazon gives you unlimited storage in the Cloud for the Kindle books, videos and music you get from Amazon. The storage is expandable up to an extra 128 GB with a micro SD card. You can choose from 8 GB or 16 GB of storage for an extra $20. The sound was excellent for a tablet, and you can connect the Fire HD 8 to Bluetooth speakers if you want better sound. Two Dolby stereo speakers are on the side of the tablet. An easy fix is to just flip the screen 180° so the display rotates and top of the tablet becomes the bottom. If you’re charging your device and listening with headphones while you read, you could be competing with cords to view the screen. If you don’t like the fun colors you can opt for black.Īt the top of the tablet reside the power button, charge port, headphone jack and volume buttons. If you don’t like the plastic back you can get a cover, which is probably a good idea with any tablet to protect it from scratches, falls, etc. My daughters thought the color was great. The colored plastic makes the tablet seem as if it’s more designed for fun than business. Amazon sent me a magenta one for review and the color is a pretty pink with purple tones. The tablet is encased in a smooth, shiny plastic and comes in black, blue, magenta and tangerine. This tablet is thin and light, weighing in at 11.0 oz (311 g) and measuring 8.4″ x 5.0″ x 0.3″ (214 x 128 x 7.7 mm). While the display isn’t the best of any tablet, the quality of the screen is impressive, especially for the price. The narrow design means you can fit the tablet in the pocket of your jeans (though I don’t recommend you do that). The screen seems well designed for reading books and watching movies. The Fire HD 8 has an 8″ screen that’s long and narrow. This latest version of Amazon’s Fire line of tablets offers a lot of features for a low price. If you’re looking to get a high quality tablet without spending a lot, check out the Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet. The estimated reading time for this post is 8 minutes
