Our kiddo is allowed to use his tablet for 1h a day to watch miss rachel and he has thrown this thing time and time again and it's held up for nearly 2 years now (23 months, but whos counting) and it's still seems to be going strong! It's had sippy cup contents all over the screen, wipes up without issue. The charging port seems sturdy as well! The speed could be better but honestly, we use it to watch the YouTube app on there (for miss rachel videos) and I think it's the app more than the tablet itself. Picture quality is great, and the larger than phone sized screen rocks for videos. Kiddo carries without issue so the weight (even with a case on it) is very nice, even for younger people or those with wrist issues. Battery life is awesome, I often use it to read or check Google or add things to our Amazon lists, sometimes spotify and it lasts quite some time. I havent used it for a solid 13 hours straight yet so I can't say if it lives up to that timeframe (thats stated in the tablets main title) but we can go a few days between charges. Overall a satisfactory purchase and we are currently looking for a slightly newer one for myself!

When you understand what you're buying, this tablet is an OUTSTANDING value

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2024

I own two PC's, an iPhone, an iPad, and a Kindle Oasis. I didn't NEED another device for reading Kindle ebooks, but the Prime Day price was irresistible, as was the price for the tri-fold case. I have been more than happy with this little tablet. It's eight inches instead of seven inches (which I would have preferred, my wife loves the one we bought for her) in size, but it includes twice the memory of the other Kindle Fire I was considering as well as a USB C charging port which the seven-inch Fire doesn't have. I've found the form factor as easy to use as the seven-inch Fire, especially with the tri-fold case, which is very similar in style and function to the original iPad cases, and also an excellent value. Weight isn’t bad either.

When you purchase a Kindle Fire, PLEASE UNDERSTAND that you are NOT buying a premium Android tablet, nor are you paying anything close to what a premium Android tablet would cost. This Kindle Fire shines as an ebook reader. It offers more display options for viewing books (including multiple column options) than a Kindle PaperWhite or Oasis, more memory for storing books, and a speaker that allows you to use the “Read Aloud” feature (not quite as nice as a real audio book, but getting better all the time) without having to plug in a headset. The Kindle Fire is significantly lower in cost than a PaperWhite or Oasis (I’m not sure Oasis is still available. If it’s not I think that’s a shame.) I like to read Kindle books on the Fire using a landscape orientation with two columns. The folded tri-fold case provides a nice viewing angle.

The Kindle Fire 8 inch offers a halfway decent web browser, which I use mostly to read online newspapers and complete the New York Times’ daily Wordle and Spelling Bee.

The Amazon App Store (I don’t believe the Google Playstore is available for Kindle tablets) offers a decent selection of games and other apps, including a version of Microsoft 365 that actually CAN be used. There’s also a Yahtzee app that I really like, especially because the ads are so unintrusive, and a little railroad game that’s more challenging than it looks. Both of these are great for avoiding boredom when waiting for a meeting.

The onscreen keyboard is reasonably responsive and easy to use. With all apps, it’s important to remember that, compared to premium Android tablets, a Kindle Fire is SLOW!!! That doesn’t bother me at all when I consider what I paid for this tablet. It’s an EXCELLENT value, in my opinion, better than I expected it to be.

Orders all 3 of my tablets from Amazon. Only to up grade the ability for the tablet. Use it more than my phone. Bigger, so easier to read. Lighter, as they have improved. Hard to break, I drop thing's a lot. (I do have a cover for this new 1 ,since my drops have gotten worse). The sound for movies and music is clear and precise. Last forever, I can still use my 1st tablet from the 1990's if I need too. Prices can't be beat. Speed just got better through the years.

Works for what I need it for.

I bought this as a reading tablet. Saved 60$ on Kindle. Have programs that I Paid for that are MUCH better than what it has.. Better library system and books by author, series.
Most reading tablets last about 25 hours after full charge and reading. I get ~35 on average per charge with this one. You do notice the weight after a couple hours of reading. I't not heavy, but time will make it feel that way if you hold it like I do. Turn on Airplane mode. Use ReadEra and CoolReader for Android. They work just fine for me.
YMMV.

Great kindle tablet!

I'm on my 4th kindle now and I have never been disappointed. My kindles are running 8-10 hours a day with no issues. Wifi connects super easy when needed and remembers connections when moving- even hotels that I only visit once a year. This product is a great value and suitable for everyone

Great for more than just reading.

I purchased this tablet to read my amazon kindle books, but I use it for so much more. It is lightweight and easy to use. It has a ton of features that help the user. I love the bright display and large screen. This product was easy to setup right out of the box. Now I can read books, watch my favorite shows and more on the go.

I love my Kindle. I read for hours at a time and the battery never dies before I’m ready to charge it. Definitely worth it!
