I bought my Fire 8 in the Prime Sale, and got it for £50, which is a proper bargain. I basically bought it to use as a colour Kindle mainly for recipe books because it’s cheaper than even the basic Kindle, and much much cheaper than the colour Kindle. It does this job brilliantly, I can see all my recipes in glorious colour, it’s just like having a colour Kindle.But then there’s everything else it does too, that a Kindle can’t do - there’s video, there’s web browsing, music, email, games, streaming platforms like Prime, Netflix, Paramount, Sky/NOW TV, BBC iPlayer and so on, audiobooks, Alexa, even photo tools. I have Word, Excel, MS Notes and Outlook on there too. Okay so the app range is quite limited compared to an iPad or Android tablet, but it has all the standard stuff most people use in their average week.For a very low cost tablet, the Fire 8 is unbelievable good value when in a Sale. It’s cheaper than a black and white Kindle and does far more stuff. Compared to the colour Kindle, it’s an absolute steal.Even though I own an iPad Pro, I still use this in preference when I’m reading books or cooking and need the recipe easily available. It’s also small enough to fit in my coat pocket, or slot into my bag, so I take it with me when I have hospital or Doctors’ appointments, or I’m on the train.Two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼

My aging IPad gen 2 needed upgrading and I only seem to use the Kindle app and occasionally YouTube. This little tablet is absolutely perfect. It runs all the same apps that I had in the iPad with ease, no lagging. I’d forgotten how good an android performs. A fraction of the price of a new iPad and feels the same.

I decided to upgrade my old Amazon fire to the new one and I am so glad I did ,it is much lighter and faster and was very easy to set up.

I previously owned an earlier version of the Fire 8 tablet, which had slowed down, was very well worn and really needed replacing. I only use it for browsing, reading and a bit of online shopping, so I don't need anything other than a very basic tablet, which this is but for my needs it's ideal, especially as I used trade in option with a limited time offer which made the cost only £35. (not sure I would want to pay the full price as the Amazon operating system has definite limitations on app availability unless you're comfortable sideloading Google Play).It's not lightening fast, for the price I wouldn't expect it to be-but it's absolutely fine for browsing etc. and definitely better than my previous tablet. It wouldn't be suitable for someone who wants something to multi task or play games, but for the price I paid, I don't think there's anything comparable. It's lightweight and the size makes it easy to hold and stick in a bag or pocket.Be aware that if you want it for things like online banking, for example, you won't find the necessary apps in Amazon's own app store, so check before buying if particular apps are necessary to you.

My daughter absolutely loves her Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet! It's super easy to navigate, and even with heavy use, the battery lasts a long time. The color is vibrant and looks great, too. I’m so happy with this purchase that I ended up buying another one. Highly recommend!

I had a HD10 which died after regular (Daily) use, so went with what I knew and bought the HD8 to replace it. I honestly don't understand all the mediocre reviews for this tablet by the tech sites. Yes, it's a limited and not very powerful tablet, but I don't need a powerful tablet. I mainly use mine to read via Kindle and to stream shows/movies. It does both of these things very well. The fact you can use a SD card to vastly increase storage space is great. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the speaker - music can sound tinny when streaming but link this to a decent Bluetooth speaker and it's no longer an issue. All in, if you are looking for a tablet for reading and watching Netflix, etc, then this is perfect.

Great Budget Tablet for Everyday Use — Especially for Amazon UsersI've been using the Fire HD 8 (2022) for a few weeks now, and for the price, it's a solid little tablet that gets the job done.Pros:Affordable & Durable: For under $100 (and often on sale), it's hard to beat. The build feels sturdy, yet it's light and easy to carry around.Battery Life: Easily lasts 12+ hours with casual use. Great for streaming or reading without constantly reaching for the charger.Amazon Integration: If you use Kindle, Prime Video, Audible, or Alexa, this tablet makes it all super convenient.Speakers: Surprisingly good stereo sound with Dolby Atmos for watching videos.Cons:Limited Apps: Since it doesn't have the Google Play Store, you're stuck with the Amazon Appstore. Some popular apps (like YouTube or Gmail) aren't natively available, although workarounds exist.Performance: It's fine for browsing, reading, or streaming, but don't expect it to handle heavy multitasking or gaming.Screen: The 8" HD screen is okay—not super sharp, but good enough for casual use.Overall, it's a great choice for kids, travel, or anyone who needs a cheap tablet for streaming, reading, or light web browsing. Just know what you're getting: it’s not a high-end tablet, but for the money, it’s a great value—especially if you're already in the Amazon ecosystem.Would definitely recommend for casual.

Brilliant little computer, good quality and easy to use, have had one before and it lasted years so thought I would go for a up to date one, I would recommend this item
