Fire HD 8 Plus offers great technical specs at an affordable price
I purchased this as a long overdue replacement for my 4th generation Fire HD 6. I primarily use my Fire tablets as Kindle devices because I'm a fan of the text-to-speech functionality. (Did you know you can also ask your Alexa Echo devices to read your Kindle books to you?) Aside from the improved specs in the new 2020 10th Generation version, I was especially looking forward to being able to Alexa in Show mode without having to be tethered to an outlet - this functionality alone is well worth the product price IMO. The Fire HD 8 tablet is a great choice for people who want to read or listen to Kindle books, watch streaming video content (Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, etc.) or casually browse the internet. Both of my Fire tablets have had the 'Special Offers'; they don't bother me at all. Favorite Features: - Amazing Battery Life!! - Alexa 'Show Mode' - like having a wireless Echo Show! - Text-to-Speech functionality for Kindle - Expandable Memory up to 1TB - Dolby Speakers = decent sound quality - Has a 3.5mm Audio Jack - 3GB RAM & Wireless Charging (Plus model) - Angreat 10W Wireless Charging Dock (sold separately) is well-designed A few minor gripes: - I wish the included charging cable were longer, but I ordered a wireless charging dock - It would be great if the 'Plus' model came in more colors - Camera quality could be improved - Fingerprint Magnet - Google Play Store not included by default
