Sturdy, Cute, Good Battery, Overall Excellent Value
Got this for my 3 year old daughter and she loves it! It’s super fast, has a nice, clear screen, and it gets loud. The kid apps on there are great and gives little ones tons of things to do to keep them entertained and busy, especially when you need them to be out your hair for a minute. This tablet is very sturdy and I’m not worried about the screen cracking or anything. I never had an Amazon Fire tablet break on me and I have purchased quite a few for myself and my children. This tablet will last my daughter a long time. The color is very pretty, which is a plus. My daughter loves this tablet, and so do I.

Edited review - from good to horrible
Leaving my original review below. Originally liked this a lot, but within 24 hours realized (1) it was extremely slow and glitchy, (2) the screensaver ads and the $15 bribe to remove them is garbage - especially considering that this device is only worthwhile if you get if for really cheap, (3) the browser it comes with is horrible and it doesn't allow you to download Google chrome, (4) the battery life is ridiculous, and it seems to struggle to charge with any cords other than the one it came with. I used it a few times as a screen for Jackbox games - for anyone who doesn't know what that means it's only responsibility was staying on while we use our cell phones to play a game. It couldn't even do that. When I submitted my return request, Amazon offered me $11 to keep it. I considered it, but it got on my nerves so much I decided to send it back anyway. I got another Android device that was about $70 and am sad that I sent that one back before knowing how poorly this one functions. _________________________________________________ Incredible device. After discovering Amazon Luna, I wanted a device that I could game on & didn’t want it to be the ones I use for work so I bought a couple tablets to test out. This one was the winner and by a landslide. I was hesitant because all the reviews said the tablet was good for “light gaming” and I intended to play more graphically detailed games like Skyrim and Fallout. Let me tell you that the performance of those games on this tablet exceeded that of my MacBook, HP laptop, annd any Android tablet I tried. So impressive. Teeny complaint or really an FYI for people considering this for hardcore gaming (which is likely no one lol) - if you want to buy a controller that attaches to the device, it gets a little wonky bc the volume buttons are located where the external controller attaches. I made it work, and it’s 10x lighter and easier to use than a steam deck, but just be mindful of that when you look for a controller. I also bought the Luna controller and hated its guts lol but that’s also an option.

Great tablet for a great price.
This tablet works really well. Haven't had any problems yet. Thin and light weight and its perfect for my needs. No need to buy the flagship tabs.

The initial set up was easy and the kindle is easy to use.
The initial set up was easy and the kindle is easy to use. The display is good and the readability is good. There are accessibility settings for the display and readability. I can't speak for the parental controls; I don't use them. I like the 8" display size, it's large enough for comfortable reading, but not so big that it's cumbersome.

Would highly recommend
The battery lasts a lot longer than the cheaper version tablets which is a great bonus. Crisp and clear screen, nice size. I would say the quality is great.

Yeaaaaa
Yes! Got this for my nephew for Christmas and he loves it. It was super cheap for the quality and the screen is beautiful and big and you can literally add any parental controls you want. The battery lasts forever and it’s loud and he can connect his headphones. For sure a must for a child or yourself genuinely a good buy and would buy again in a heartbeat for just basic everyday needs

Great Choice for a Teen Who Loves to Read (and More)
We purchased the newest Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet for our 14-year-old after going back and forth between a dedicated e-reader and a tablet. We ultimately chose the Fire tablet because it offered so much more than just reading—and we’re really glad we did. She primarily uses it for reading, and the screen size is perfect for that, but having the additional capabilities has been a big bonus. She also uses it for apps, browsing, and light entertainment, which makes it far more versatile than a basic reader. It’s easy to use, holds a charge well for daily use, and has quickly become something she reaches for all the time. For the price and functionality, this has been a great option for a teen who wants a mix of reading and tablet features. Overall, a very solid purchase that we’re happy we chose.
