The first one was a used one I got for a great price on prime day the top speaker did not work at all
I got this discounted as it was a refurbished, I think the value far exceeded the price.
For those not familiar with Amazon tablets, they are basically similar to a good quality Android tablet at a very competitive price
I'm not a huge fan of the limited options of how to set up the home screen, and the app store is limited and mostly full of low quality programs, but as a cheap way to reach web sites this works adequately and is the right price for that.
A few reviews have pretty much nailed down the pro's and con's of this tablet: astonishing price and rock-solid quality, but dependent on the Amazon eco-system.1
The 8 looks good, sounds good, and battery life is acceptable
But I will probably give one more chance to replace this refurbished one with a new one if the sound is good.
The only thing is the speakers sound like they're blown out
Happy with purchase, nice display and sound is acceptable - granted I typically connect Bluetooth speakers or headphones to my devices & there was no issue doing this
The refurb was in pristine condition with great sound, excellent resolution, expandable memory, fast processor, and long battery life
This one is nice beautiful screens , Alexa works perfect, and fast
I've used lots of Fires in the past and wanted the larger screen, it's worked well, and I've really enjoyed it, but it died after only 4 months of use.
My tablet came on the day expected, with all the pieces included(charger) works well to be refurbished
It’s very bad , speakers not working, battery not charchge , only until 30%
Hardware works perfect but software is not personalizable
I understand that the item was probably more popular than anticipated, and no, I don't want to cancel the order, but I do wish Amazon could at least give me a ballpark range for when I might be able to get
But it is a very good e-book reader with some tablet functionality
Well I usually like refurbished items, however this one came under furnished
For me the resolution is the most important item on the tablet
This item is a good product, but has frustrated me with movies
My grand kids abuse the kindles and this is a cheaper way to keep them happy.
I love my new Kindle, I had the 7 inch, and decided I wanted a little bit bigger one this time , and purchased the 8 inch.
Nothing could be further from the truth - this Kindle is awesome!
Other than the screw-up in their shipping, (was prime and took 5 days before I cancelled it and had to re-order, causing me to miss out on the $39 dollar sale and ending up paying $43), the refurbished Kindle is fantastic
Also i had a much older Kindle before this and it crashed within a year with no waranty.
