I got this discounted as it was a refurbished, I think the value far exceeded the 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
Slow processor but great price!!
The first one was a used one I got for a great price on prime day the top speaker did not work at all
But I will probably give one more chance to replace this refurbished one with a new one if the sound is good.
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 8 looks good, sounds good, and battery life is acceptable
The refurb was in pristine condition with great sound, excellent resolution, expandable memory, fast processor, and long battery life
The only things I didn't like (thus four stars instead of five) were not having access to the Play Store out of the box (you CAN install it) and the sound isn't great
This one is nice beautiful screens , Alexa works perfect, and fast
It’s very bad , speakers not working, battery not charchge , only until 30%
Bought this for our daughter for her birthday present works great everything runs smoothly.
Hardware works perfect but software is not personalizable
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.
Also i had a much older Kindle before this and it crashed within a year with no waranty.
Nothing could be further from the truth - this Kindle is awesome!
Now, likely after the warranty has expired, the kindle is incredibly slow to respond to touch and will get stuck full-screen in apps without any way to return to the homepage
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
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.
