FIRE 8 HD

★★★★★ A FIRE 8 HD review will not answer these 112 questions. Get the truth from people who own a FIRE 8 HD, including the fact that it won't...

I HAVE READ THAT SOME FIRE MODELS HAVE FREEZE AND CRASH PROBLEMS AND HAVE A SHORT LIFE SPAN AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES. IS THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB A PROBLEM?

• I haven't had any problems with crashes. However, I had to return my original 8 gen. fire due to the volume decreasing every time I would watch hulu, netflix or listen to spotify. The volume would randomly start to go down without anyone touching the volume button. When this would happen I would have to restart the app. This was very frustrating. It would take me a hour to watch a 1/2 hour tv show. I contacted Amazon and was instructed to do a factory reset. That step helped me for one day. I called customer service a second time. They were helpful. I simply asked for an exchange because I still having a volume decreasing issue the customer service agent sent me an email with a return label with no problem. I received the replacement three days later. I have notice that it takes a few seconds longer for the apps that I touch to open, making me to believe that the request is not registering. But it is. I enjoy the fire 8 gen fire. I haven't used every aspect of the tablet just yet but I will!

• I have not had any issues with freezing as of yet. This is a new model and therefore it is still under warranty. One thing I have noticed is that any time I move or bump it the screen goes blank then locks. This is annoying but not to the point where I would return it. I find the battery life is great, overall I am really happy with it.

• At the beginning it´s really annoying the freezing and crashing of some apps, i thought it will be like that all the time... but i was wrong... it hasn´t freeze or crash anymore... i´m really happy with my first tablet experience, at a great price ;)

• Yep. It totally does that. My old kindle was great, but I hate the new 8. Even though mine is new, the battery life sucks. It's like half my old Kindle 7

• I have not had any issues with the HD8.8 so far. I have every generation of fire and my first gen is still working fine (my 9 yr old niece is using it now).

• I have not experienced any default problems with my heater in the short months that I have had it. I am very happy with this unit and still recommend.


WHEN THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB SAYS ADDITIONAL STORAGE HAS TO BE PURCHASED, DOES THE DEVICE COME WITH THE SLOT IN PLACE OR ARE YOU PAYING FOR EXTRA STORAGE?

• It depends on whether you want to store your contents physically on your device or to a cloud. The unit does have an micro SD port that I believe is expandable to 128GB. You can also store to the cloud but only the first 5GB are free. Hope this help clear things up. I would steer clear of this. Yes it is affordable for an inch tablet but for a few extra $ I would get a better unit such as a samsung Tab 4 especially if you plan to use it for a long time.

• The slot is already in place. The additional storage means you have to buy a mini SD memory card, i.e., 16g, 32GB, 64GB OR 128 GB. I purchased the 32GB mini SD Card. My kindle came with 16GB of standard installed memory, but you can add additional memory with a mini SD card.

• The "slot" is easily accessible, it is simple to install more storage memory if you need it. This "slot" is a built in access port for memory installation.

• It comes with 8gb already in the kindle. You can add more memory by getting a Micro SD card from 4gb to 128 gb size. Those are not bad prices on amazons site.

• It comes with an SD slot, you just need a card. I would seriously reconsider getting this. There are better options for the same amount of money.

• Yes, it comes slot for a micro SD which bought and installed. It is good to store photos, videos, and music.

• Yes there is a slot on the right side of the device, you just need to pop it open and insert the chip

• There is a port for the micro sd... The micro disk is not included.

• Pay to have the slot for extra storage

• It has a slot for a mini sd card.

• I Googled Amazon with your question, and the link shows the setup: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201642310

• Dont know but you should be able to check with amazon just got mine 24 hours ago and have been on it for 10 hours still learnin

• Kindle free time for kids. It's excellent and I don't think you would be disappointed.


 I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB PRODUCT WITHOUT OFFERS....APPARENTLY NOT AVAILABLE, ONLY WITH THE ANNOYING POPUPS. CAN YOU GET RID OF THEM?

• One...if you've got "annoying pop ups" they are from some free app you've installed. The Fire ONLY shows ads on the screensaver. They do not pop up. Two...yes. You can pay to have the ads removed but if the ads are coming from an app you installed paying to remove the ads isn't going to make any difference because the ads you're seeing aren't coming from Amazon if they're popping up. Go to Manage Your Content and Devices. Choose the Your Devices tab. Choose your Fire. It will say Special Offers: Subscribed then have an Edit link by it. Click Edit, then you'll have to confirm you want to pay to remove ads. The cost is the difference between a Fire with ads, which you bought, and a Fire without ads. But if you're getting pop up ads from an app they're not going away until you uninstall the app that put them there.

• This is a pretty crappy thing to do. Yes, they give you the option to opt out AFTER you decided you want it for the cheaper price they advertise on the main page. How hard would it have been to start with the higher price and then give people the option to get it cheaper with adds? This is supposed to be a platform for buying and using Ebooks and movies from amazon. They should not have adds and the default.

• Buy it new from Amazon and it the area below it will have different options to check if you want them. One is a Kindle without the annoying popups...an extra $15.00, but well worth it.

• On the Amazon website you can pay $15 extra to get one without special offers.


IS THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB WORTH THE EXTRA COST TO GET THE 16GB VERSION INSTEAD OF THE 8GB? DOES THE MICRO SD CARD MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE? WHY HAVE A DIFFERENCE?

• Actually,I went for the 32 gig micro sd card.The price was great here on amazon, and I like to download my Rifftrax movies and shorts in case we have a power outage.We have several every winter. Also,I keep a ton of books on the KF because I like to read 5-6 books at a time.And then there are photos I have taken and kept on the KF. So to answer your question:It all depends on what you use your Kindle for.If it is primarily for ebooks and magazines,then 8gigs would be okay.However,since the 32 gig is so inexpensive,I would get one if I were you.You would be surprised at how quickly 8gigs fill up!! Hope this helped!!

• The reason some people get the bigger one is so they don't have to get the SD card and others just bees that much space. If you plan on putting a ton of books/music/ etc and if you plan on taking a lot of photos then get the bigger one. Otherwise, just get the 8 gb. I had the 8and I have a lot of books but nothing really else and I have plenty of storage.

• The moment you can't download another video - you will wish you got the extra space. The SD card technology is not stable yet with OS v5.0.1. My friends tell me I should have gone with a prior model and I tend to agree.


 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KINDLE FIRE HD 7 AND THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB?

• Screen size is different, hd8 has sd card slot, hd 7 screen has a slightly faster response. Hd8 does not have hdmi port like the hd7. I have Amazon underground on my hd8, but have not figured out if I can get it on the 7. The 8 is more like an android tablet (not exactly though); the 7 has the home screen "carousel ".All in all, I love both devices, but the hd8 is a little more updated, whereas the 7 is a little better quality. Pros and cons to both, it's best to pick out the features you can't live without and go with the device that has most of the features you want. Hope this helps.

• I am hardly a techno-expert, but the HD 8 was just released in one inch larger screen, but the same weight as the 7" so I was sold. I find it fits easily into a pocketbook, however, as I said, with no printed directions, I am still struggling to learn how to use it. I will try youtube. The screen is super-sharp by the way.

• Just the size I believe. The 7 is a 7in display and the 8 is an 8in display. We got the 8 because it was the only 16gb in stock at our local Best Buy. We love it though, it's perfect for watching movies on the go.

• I did not have the Kindle fire 7 so cannot answer your question sorry

• Slimmer and the 8 has an extra memory slot


 DOES THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB OFFER A NO SCREEN GLARE LIKE THE KINDLE?

• Yes, it works quite well in bright sunshine, I am very happy with mine! I have bought several of the smaller ( two six inch, three of the seven inch and two of the eight inch!) All but one as gifts, plus I have two of the first generation kindle that still work perfectly well, they just do not have the cameras. If you are hard on things, like dropping, they are very sturdy. I did purchase the two year replacement plans on them just in case, but I have had very little problem with them. The kids love them too!

• I assume when you mention Kendle you are referring to readers? I've had both the Kindle Fire HD 7 and 8 and while there is some reference to glare I find this only to be an issue when either outdoors or if there is a light source shinning from behind. I've been using the Fire HD products for years and have never found screen glare to be an issue.

• I have the older Kindle 8" and I can't see a thing when I try to read at the pool. It's useless in bright sun.

• The screen is shiny and you will see yourself looking back at you similar to a mirror.

• The screen is shiny and you will see yourself looking back at you similar to a mirror.

• Yes.The colors are also very defined and deep. Amazing quality.


 I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF TABLET. SINCE THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB REQUIRES WIFI TO CONNECT, HOW DO YOU USE THE FIRE 8 IN YOUR CAR TO USE SUCH THINGS AS MAPS?

• It connects if you can give it WIFI yourself. A real GPS is the best choice. One time purchase, search engine for locations, free signal, different travel styles. The company offers updates. Unlike a smart phone, its NOT limited to your (cellphone) provider's signal area. The GPS search engine makes a smart engine's location search pathetic. I have a relative who has to travel all over the state. He used more than one cellphone company. The phone signal cut out a lot more than the GPS

• You wouldn't be able to. It has to have a constant connection to WiFi for apps like that to work, like a laptop. Unless you have a new car with built in WiFi or a phone that can be a wireless hotspot, which in case you might as well just use your phone for maps, this will not work for things like that in your car. You can use it to read books or watch movies that have been previously downloaded. However, my experience with this kindle is it is very slow, and I'm returning mine.

• You would have to have Wi-Fi in your car. If you are looking for the ability to see maps in your car, a cell phone is a better choice.

• Really not feasible to use in car for maps.


 DO I HAVE TO BE ON WIFI TO WATCH MOVIES OR IS THERE A WAY I CAN DOWNLOAD THEM SO WHEN WE GO ON TRIPS, MY SON CAN WATCH VIDEOS IN THE CAR OR PLANE?

• I'm able to download movies to all my Kindle devices including the my new Fire HD 8. Purchase the movie and put it in your library. Then download. I purchase the SD card and downloaded the movie to that. Depending on your connection speed on your home Wi-Fi, it might take up to 25 minutes for a movie like Frozen or Big Hero. But then you'll be able to watch while not connected since it is on your device. (like on a plane or in the car).

• You can download as many movies as you can fit. I have the 16gb and it can hold about 4-5 HD movies. What is also nice is downloads will automatically delete 48 hours after watching them.

• You can download a movie to the memory or the SD Card, however, it would not be from Prime, since it doesn't support download as far as I know

• Yes you can download then watch later. You will need the right amount of memory depending on the number of movies or shoes.

• You can download them and watch anytime! I bought a 32 GB SD card so i have plenty of storage space!


 CAN YOU USE MICROSOFT OFFICE?

• There is no app for office (Microsoft would have to develop that). But you can use OneDrive and OneNote. Microsoft does allow you to edit office documents on OneDrive. I have not tried it on the Fire myself, but I have on other devices. As for the Microsoft Office software it is not available on the Fire. If you have Office365 then you can pretty much edit documents on the web through a browser. For hardcore Office use it is best to get a Windows 10 device.

• I use an app called AlwaysOnPC mobile edition, and I do have access to Microsoft Office on my Kindle. However, I recommend that you think carefully when downloading such product onto your Kindle, and I say this because you have a lot less space to handle a large quantity of such apps. You can use Microsoft Office on your Kindle, but I would ask myself how much I will I be using this app on my Kindle.

• I don't know about Microsoft Office but I use an app called OfficeSuite Pro to create and/or edit Excel and Word documents. Someone else told me about an app called WPS Office plus PDF, but I haven't tried it.

• I agree with S. Kumar

• I agree with S. Kumar

• No


DOES THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB HAVE PAPER WHITE OR ANTI-GLARE? I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB OUTSIDE.

• I have no problems reading it outside even in direct sunlight. Because there are many choices of settings for the screen color, print color, text size, and more, you can find one that lets you read it in the sun. At night I always have the background black and the print white so I'm not keeping my husband awake with the glare of the screen. In fact, I use this setting most of the time because it's easier on my eyes. So, although I don't know the technology involved I do know you can read anywhere just by changing the setting.

• No, the Fire HD 8 is a Glass LCD Display Panel. The only way to use this outsude would be to have the brightness set all the way up. You may also try matte finish screen protectors, that reduces the Fire HD.8's glare and cost the same as standard screen protectors. Hope this helps.

• I'm not sure of the exact technology used, but I have read this unit outside in strong sunlight with no problems.

• I have read with it outside and as long as there isn't direct sunlight on it I was fine.


 IS THERE AN ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD?

• Duh!!! Yes... Amazing sound quality, screen impressive, quick streaming and internet speeds. Cover a must have, get Amazon brand the three year warranty.

• Duh!!! Yes... Amazing sound quality, screen impressive, quick streaming and internet speeds. Cover a must have, get Amazon brand the three year warranty.

• PT, I don't know yet. It will be a Christmas gift for my grandsons. I assume it will be like the iPad screen. It's wrapped up right now.

• It operates like many other smartphones do now. You swipe up or select where you want to type in a search field and a keyboard appears.

• Yes. It's similar to the keyboard on a touchscreen phone. It will pop up when you touch on an area that lets you enter text.

• Yes. It has the same keyboard functions as any other kindle tablet.

• Yes! It is activated any time you need to enter text

• Yes, it will display when you need to type

• Can't really say, only use for reading

• Yes


 DOES THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB HAVE GPS?

• There is many GPS apps. Just add one. Truthfully, doesn't matter what tablet, get a real GPS. You never need to pay for the signal. GPS=One-time purchase, not monthly payments. Since you're not limited to one company's signal area, the signal is not lost as easily. GPS do have build-in search engines. Updates are available; check that the company offers/sells them.

• NO. The Fire HD 8 does not have a GPS. Location based services use WiFi. You could add a GPS via bluetooth, but then if you have no WiFi signal, many map apps won't be able to update. Some map apps *will* let you download the map, or sections of the map, to allow you to use offline. Sorry. I have not tried them. You'll need to research more for those.

• It comes with a map app. I have used it to get directions while I am in the house,but have never tried it in the car. It does show a map of your location and a map of where you need to be


 CAN KIDS USE THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB TABLET AS "KINDLE FIRE 7" FOR KIDS?

• The Kindle Fire is much more than e-reader, it is truly tablet that competes with the Apple IPad. So children haven't any problems using this device, it is us older adault are slower to get up to speed with this Kindle Fire. There is much available material young children to enjoy with this tablet.

• Yes. The Amazon Underground works pretty well on Fire HD. The only difference is that the kids version is quite robust and there is a 2 years replacement warranty on that (without any questions asked). I have bought Fire HD for my kid and both of us very satisfied with this purchase.

• Probably, but since the Kindle Fire for kids has an unconditional guarantee against breakage, and for less cost, why wouldn't you get the one for kids?

• I'm sure they can. As we all know our children/grandchildren know more than we do. I really enjoy mine.

• My 8 year old great grandson navigates through the Fire with no problems.


THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB HAS A DIFFERENT HOME SCREEN INSTEAD OF THE CAROUSEL. HOW DO I DELETE UNWANTED INSTALLED APPS FROM THE HOME SCREEN?

• Locate your Settings screen (put your finger at the top of the home screen and swipe downward, select settings). Then go to Apps and Games > Manage All Applications, from there find the app you want to delete and tap on it. When it opens you'll see an uninstall button located on the top right. If you just want to hide apps instead of deleting: on the home screen, press and hold the app and then drag to another app that you also want to hide, this will create a "folder" you can drag and drop as many apps as you want into this folder. I renamed my folder "Apps I'll Probably Never Use". As for pre-installed apps, it appears you can disable them but not uninstall them. Hope this helps.

• Try touching the app, and holding it for a second.

• Not sure


DOES THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB HAVE TO COME WITH THE DICTIONARY AND OTHER DISTURBING THINGS THAT POP-UP? THE SCREEN IS TOO SENSITIVE FOR OLDER ARTHRIC HANDS.

• It does come with a dictionary. I elected to pay the extra money to get rid of the ads. I think the screen is ok for my use but I don't have arthritic hands. I would recommend going to Best Buy where they have the Fire 8 on display and it can check it out for comfort. The volume and power buttons are rather small and pretty much blend in with the case. You might have a problem with that.

• You can get rid of the pop-ups that are ads by paying an additional fee for Amazon to remove them. Have you tried using a stylus instead of your hands? My Fire has the opposite problem; I don't think my screen is sensitive enough. :) Finally, I'm not sure about the dictionary.

• No I don't have any problems with that it is really a great Kindle


 IS THERE A HDMI PORT?

• Sadly, no if you don't have a newer flat sceen and can mirror there is no way to get true HD to your television unless you can find a USB to HDMI that works and doubtful that will produce a true HD signal! I was going to buy this TODAY to replace a HD Fire 7" that died but no HDMI port cancels that!

• Nope, you have to buy the HDX and pay $300+ to get the ports for your TV (HDMI) and computer (USB). I only wanted it for books and occasional email/movie so the was an excellent value for me. I've used it for about 2 weeks now and love it.

• No there isn't. There is a headphone jack, a power Jack, and a slot for an sd card.

• I think you share via bluetooth, not by a wire.

• No there is not.

• No

• No


CAN YOU DOWNLOAD MOVIES AND TV SHOWS TO THE SD CARD OR DO THEY NEED TO BE ON THE INTERNAL MEMORY?

• No, because it can cause copyright issues. Use the cloud; you don't have to have it downloaded. Once you install the app, the cloud is usable on your TV/computer/game system/etc. Granted, the app is not the best designed, but its worth it. (You can add your shows to cloud through the Amazon.com or the app.)

• I have no idea, this tablet has been taken over by my grandson I would expect it goes to SD card first then to internal .

• I don't know. I was so disappointed with the quality of this kindle I sent everything back. Sorry. Good luck.

• I have Prime. The movies download to the SD card. Average movie is about 3.5 to 4 megabytes.

• No movies on the SIM card only games

• Internal only


CAN YOU PLAY GAMES ON THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB, LIKE SUDOKU, SOLITARE, ETC.? CANYOU GET AN APP TO DO SO?

• I play candy crush, bingo blitz, witchy world, bingo bash, tasty tale and Facebook. I also can do my banking with my credit union and I also can ID plants that I am not familiar with. I am very pleased with my purchase you will too.

• Yes you can play games on it and I do have sudoku and solitaire among other games. You get them from the Amazon app store and can order them from the device. There are many good free games available.

• Once you download the game app you can play thousands of games

• Yes! They have their own app store with tons of free games.

• Down apps for whatever games you want to play

• Yes you can.

• Yes to both

• Yes to both


 CAN I READ UNDER THE SUN?

• I purchased a matte screen protector sheet that works well and allows for reading in the sun. I bought it along with my Fire 8. NuPro Fire HD 8 Screen Protector Kit (2-Pack) (5th Generation - 2015 release) , Anti-Glare

• You can read under the sun only if you apply a sunscreen of 30 spf or higher.......really not very good for reading in the sun.It is a terrible product. I returned mine. '

• Just like a phone, the screen is backlit so yes. Usually if you can't see it, you just raise the brightness.

• Yes i have no problem w/it in the sun or bright lights very pleased w/the performance of this fireHD

• Yes it isn't a strain on your eyes


 HOW IS FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB FOR READING IN SUNLIGHT?

• I've tried reading in the car & if it's too sunny it's hard to read. I do love my new fire tablet,, but at this point I don't think it's going to be too good in the sun. That really isn't a problem for me because I can't spend a lot of time in the sun because of the medication I'm on. Hope this helps you.

• I've found them to be okay if you adjust your angle. You're better off using a kindle reader though.

• It works pretty well. I often use it to read outside and I've not experienced any problems.

• I find it easier to turn my back to the sun and hold the Fire in my shadow.

• There is some glare but otherwise it is okay but not a deal breaker


 CAN YOU USE THE KINDLE WHILE THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB IS CHARGING?

• Yes. So far, I have been quite pleased with the Fire HD 8. The display is crisp, the sound pretty good and the multi-functionality is great.

• Yes, you can still use it while it is plugged in. However, you will not achieve optimal charging speed while in use.

• I use it while its charging and haven't notice any difference with it . games, and movies still run nicely.

• Yes, I do it often. But not for very long. I will finish what I am doing and close it to charge.

• Yes. Especially if you are watching video for extended periods.

• Well sure, but the cord is a bit short.

• Yes but it is not good to do

• Ye, you can.

• Yes....

• YES


 CAN YOU USE THE SAME CHARGER AS FOR THE 6 INCH KINDLE FIRE?

• Yes...you can use any charger with a micro-usb plug for any of the Fire tablets. The device controls the amount of amps it will draw, so no harm will come to a tablet, though some chargers can supply power more quickly than others, resulting in a tablet charging more slowly when using a "weaker" charger than one it might prefer.

• Yes . . . the "8" comes with charger [cord] which will work with the "6" and "8" . . . the [charger] cord that comes with the "8" will take a slightly longer time to charge the "6" because it is low voltage . . . by the way - I love my new "8" . . .

• It is also a mini USB charger. The new does come with a new charger.


 DOES THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB INCLUDED 5W MICRO-USB POWER ADAPTER WORK WTHE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GBH A 230 V OUTLET?

• No. Amazon 5w, 1A power adapter works in US, Canada, Mexico, Taiwan and Japan. You would be better off buying a generic USB adapter that provides 1- to 2-amp output. Amazon has one for less than $6, with prime shipping available. AmazonBasics Wall Charger with USB Outlet (2.1 Amp Output) This one works on 100-240VAC.

• I really do not know. I have only had it for a week. I used the enclosed plug on my computer and i also plugged it into a wall outlet. Not sure what the difference is. The kindle charged both ways. Sorry if I was not more help.

• Not with a 230 v outlet at least mine didn't.


 DOES THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB HAVE STEREO SPEAKERS? TECH SPEC SAYS "DOLBY SPEAKER"........

• The unit does have 2 speakers plus a place to plug in your head phones. The sound is not bad however I do not listen to too much music however when I watched the NFL game from London the sound was clear and fully understandable.

• No stereo speakers, but the sound seems to be better than my Kindle Fire; I'm not sure stereo would make such a great difference.

• I don't know if it is dolby speakers, but it sounds about the same as my previous Kindle Fire.

• Yes it does. The speakers are really good, better than the older models (I bought in 2009).

• I am not sure what stereo speaker means, but it does get really loud !

• No it does not


 DOES THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB HAVE A NOOK APP?

• I have not looked for a nook app, mostly because there are so many available through Amazon. I also read books from a site called Bookbub. Many of those are free or 99¢ to $2.99. If you continue your Amazon Prime membership, $99.00 a year you can "borrow" books, music and movies. I absolutely recommend The Kindle.

• I have not seen the app myself, but I do believe that there is an app that will allow you to read a nook book on your Kindle Fire. However, I have never tried to install the app to know how good it works or even how much it costs, but as I said I heard that there is a nook app for the Kindle Fire.

• That's the competition, why would it have a nook app?


 CAN I TRANSFER GAMES/GAME HISTORY FROM AN OLD KINDLE TO THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB?

• All the games I had purchased (which were mainly kids game) and books I had purchased from amazon were transferable. The couple games I have for myself I never kept a history for so I guess I can answer just half of your question

• Yes at least with poker. Just set up both kindled in the same account and the game can be played with either kindle and the money in your pot automatically updates on both.

• I don't have a ton of games, but Yahtzee with Buddies and Candy Crush were just as I left off. I didn't lose any levels.

• Also, if your devices are all under the same account with Amazon then you shouldn't have any problems.


CAN YOU DOWN LOAD PROGRAMS LIKE A TAX PROGRAM TO DO YOUR TAX THAN COPY TO A FLASH DRIVE TO PRINT SOMEWHERE ELSE?

• Yes, you will most likely need an OTG cable to attach your flash drive to the tablet. You can also get a micro SD card to add more storage space.

• Not sure about tax stuff but I did download office suite and used it to type a letter and tranfered it to my computer to print.

• Probably, but loading materials onto the flash drive is difficult, if not impossible - much more difficult than other tablets.

• No, you need to use a computer to do that. I would never use a tablet of any kind for taxes.

• Don't know about downloading tax programs, but device doesn't have USB port.


 HOW IS THE BATTERY LIFE?

• Battery life isn't like the older versions. I get about 6 hrs out of mine vs the HD where I'd get 10 hrs or more. But it's still a great tablet. I'd recommend it. Nice thin. Lightweight. Nice display , audio is amazingly LoI'd and the amazon underground has some real cool apps for free. Which other kindles didn't have.

• That has yet to be tested. As the ones I have purchased are Christmas presents. But if they are like the HD 7s that we have now? You're looking at 4 to 6 hours of use, depending on how bright you have the display.

• Ok. I find that it helps if you turn it off instead of just shutting the covet

• Battery life is very good. I keep the display brightness in auto mode.


 CAN YOU PLAY THE GAME HAYDAY ON THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB UNIT?

• I did a search for Hay Day and it doesn't show up in Amazon's library. From what I understand it is very difficult or impossible to access Google Play on the Fire HD devices so until Amazon adds Hay Day to it's library the answer is no. It's a popular game so I'm sure they will add it at some point as my search did turn up an app that is a guide for the Hay Day game.

• I don't play games so I don't know. But I can say I like this model enough to give it 5 stars. Best is ability to expand storage with a a flash card.

• I downloaded Hay Night and Day easily. I don't know how well it plays.


 HOW DO I TURN MY KINDLE HD8 ON?

• Depress the button on the upper (top) right side of the kindle. If that does not work, then try charging the device, as it is possible the power has depleted. The battery must have at least 3% charge in order to show a display. These responses are based directly on my experieces. Hope it helps.

• There's a power button in the top right corner. Pressing it is supposed to turn it on. If it doesn't work, maybe hold it down for a few seconds? I've never had that problem before.

• Push the button on the side left top corner

• Push power button on the top right

• Press the button on top.

• Make sure it's charged!


 WHAT SERVICE DO YOU HAVE TO SUB. TO GET ALL OF THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB STUFF?

• You connect to the internet with a wifi but to watch services like netflix, Hulu, HBO NOW you do have to pay a subscription fee. You can download videos from Amazon Video and pay per movie or tv episode or as a Amazon Prime Member you can download for "free". And while many other apps/games do require payment there are plenty that are free.

• I don't know what you are asking. Your question does not make sense.

• Any wireless service such as Verizon or Sprint will work.

• Any internet service. I have Comcast here.

• Any wireless/cable service.

• Any internet service.


CAN YOU ACCESS YOUR AMAZOM MUSIC LIBRARY AND PLAY THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB THROUGH THE USB IN A CAR??

• As for USB, that may depend on your device. My car isn't capable. The kindle is too high-tech. My car only reads USB with songs downloaded, not other software. I haven't looked into an app to solve this problem. Also, the Kindle may only think its a power charge connection rather than feeding music. Honestly, literally, try asking Amazon directly. You can at least use the Aux cable. (Not going to have the same sound results as a CD or USB.)

• I can access my music, however I don't have a USB in my car. I do have speakers I attach, so I would assume this can be done.


 I HAVE A KINDLE FIRE HDX 7 INCH, IS THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB AN UPGRADE FOR THE ONE I HAVE OR IS THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB AN INFERIOR PRODUCT?

• Do not purchase the hd8.8. it's junk, purchase the new hdx 8.9 and you should be quite pleased. no guarantees, but i had the the. 8.8 and it went back 3 times in 3 weeks i've always had problems wth my kindles, but i think this one is finally a good product.

• No it is not an upgrade to your kindle. It is slightly larger, but does not have some of the features you have such as 24/7 mayday.

• I like the new verision since you can add a usb chip to the new versions.

• I am quite happy with mine!


 IS THERE ACCESS TO A GRAPHING SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR?

• Not already loaded in the Fire . It has pretty much a standard calculator , Trig. functions , Pi. ( ) and roots . Now that's not to say you can't get " an App. for that " . I would say that if your going to use your tablet for that , you may want to look more toward one of those Lap top / Tablet kinda thingys . Now , if you just want to display your graph , and maybe some text to explain your intent , I do believe you can download that from a computer as a document on to Fire . Working with it afterwards , ??

• I do not think so. This is a basic low-end tablet.

• Yes, meta-calculator.com


 CAN YOU READ A BOOK OUTSIDE WITHOUT GLARE?

• I don't know. After about 30 days my Kindle Fire stopped working. The videos I downloaded kept freezing mid way through. If you buy this good luck!

• I don't know, I don't read books outside. The voyage reader has a non glare screen so that might be the better choice.

• Not in direct sun light on the screen but otherwise yes if you turn the back light all the way to bright.

• Indirect sunlight is ok, direct no. I continue to prefer my kindle paperwhite for reading books.

• No, there is glare, But I have a kindle paperwhite that is perfect for outside as well!


 WHAT DOES SPONSORED LOCKSCREEN MEAN?

• When you go turn on the unit there will be a advertisement. You would have had to refuse this when you ordered and then would have to pay more to remove the advertisement. I think the up charge is $15.00. If ads only on opening do not bother you, it doesn't me and this is my 5th Kindle, then don't worry about it.

• It just means that your lockscreen is an ad from different companies. It does not really bother me since as soon as you swipe it, the ad is gone.

• Avertisements from a paying companies or organizations are on you lock screen rather than a wallpaper you choose.


 DOES THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB HAVE A CAROUSEL ON THE HOME PAGE? THANK YOU

• Yes, there are a number of named category "pages". Apps, Music, Newsstand etc., which you can slide the page left or right to change. Also slide up to show icons that may not appear on the screen due excessive icons on the page.

• I am Not sure it has been approximately 3 weeks and I still have not received this purchase. Sender claims they sent it to the wrong address.

• I don't know what a carousel is? You can choose your apps across the top so that would be a carousel I hope that answers your question


CAN YOU WATCH YOUTUBE ON THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB, AND IS THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB EASY TO SEE?

• Yes download the utube app seeing it is no different then reading your mail or watching a movie or reading a book yo can use full screen. The screen is 8"

• Yes you can watch YouTube and it's easy to see. I have been watching a number of YouTube music videos and it works wonderful for that.

• You can watch YouTube on it, with a WiFi connection. And yes it's easy to see.

• Yes for both questions.


 DOES THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB HAVE A VOLUME BUTTON ON THE OUTSIDE?

• Yes it does.


 IS THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB AN UPGRADE FROM THE KINDLE FIRE HDX?

• Yes. We have both an 8 inch hdx and hd. The hd is smaller, lighter and has a better screen. It is faster and has a front and rear camera as compared to hdx. Ability to add storage is a real plus. It does not have an hdmi port like the hdx. Also, the price is right! I'm seriously looking at the 10 inch for me. Wife has 8 inch hd and won't let me touch it.

• It is larger and you can add storage with a "chip". It also has two cameras. All depends on what you use it for.

• Yes


 CAN I INSTALL A WEB BROWSER SUCH AS CHROME OR FIREFOX?

• Yes, and you will want to...the Silk browser leaves A LOT to be desired...you can most certainly run Firefox and Dolphin and download flash as well. There are you tube tutorials that will show you how to do this, you will need to download a file manager first.

• Actually I can't install Chrome because Amazon app stire doesn't have it. Even when I downloaded from google site the crhome app doesn't work properly.

• I think, Chrome, you can. I 'm not sure about Firefox.

• Yes you can.

• Yes

• Yes


 CAN YOU GET MORE STORAGE FOR KINDLE FIRE?

• Yes you can. You can order the SD card with the device. When you check out, they will offer you the memory card to purchase--I hope this helps! They are great devices--I love mine!

• Yes! When you go through the checkout process one of the options is adding more storage.

• You can add a micro SD card to the Kindle Fire HD 8 for additional storage.

• Yes. You can purchase additional memory to put in the memory slot.

• Yes, you can buy an SD card for additional storage.

• Yes you can buy more storage.


 CAN YOU EXPAND THE STORAGE IN THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB WITH AN SD CARD? AND IF SO CAN YOU ACTUALLY USE THE SPACE FOR GAMES ETC?

• You are supposed to be able to expand up to 128 GB with SD card, however I have not done so yet as I haven't needed it so I can't respond to the second part of your question.

• Yes you can. I did. Don't cheap out on the storage. Buy the largest you can afford. You will not be sorry!

• Yes you can. The SD slot is on the right side of the device.

• Yes, but I haven't done so yet.


 HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THE SIZE OF A FIRE DEVICE? DO YOU MEASURE THE VIEWING SCREEN DIAGNALLY TO DETERMINE WHAT SIZE CASE TO BUY?

• If you are ordering a case online I would recommend that you put the name of the device in the search, that would be the easiest way to make sure you get a case that fits and also designed with the control openings specifically for your device.

• The device is measured diagonally from corner to corner. They have it listed as an 8.8 but the case size is 8.9 everywhere I go.

• I ordered a Incipio Clarion Folio Fire HD 8 case that fits perfetly


 IS THERE A COVER FOR THE NEW KINDLE FIRE HD 8 THAT CAN TURN THE SCREEN OFF WHEN THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB IS CLOSED?

• Yes there are many cases that do turn the screen off. Check in the description of the products and it should say if it does or does not.

• Yes I got one with my hd8 and I love it, although it does add a little weight .I recommend getting one !

• If you buy it. The kindle offers an automatic sleep mode too. Just have to adjust the settings.

• Yes. You can find it on Amazon.com

• Yes there is


 CAN MAGAZINES BE READ EASILY ON THE 8 INCH MODEL?

• I've never had a magazine on my Kindle Fire, so I don't know. I know that the print is adjustable. I've read many books on it, and have been very happy with it.

• Yes, it seems it was designed with that on mind. Unfortunately, there are so many ads and confusing icons that it's a step down...

• Yes but it is a bit small. Depending on the magazine. You can pinch and zoom in to read better

• Yes, they look great...it's the perfect size for magazines.

• Yes


 CAN TWO APPS RUN SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH TABS AND/OR SPLIT SCREEN?

• For the most part, no. I can run music while reading/search and some games, but the music/audio app doesn't show at the same time. The web browse saves all the websites open until you close the sites. Split screen is actually advanced programming. That can would hog up most memory.

• It appears that multiple apps can run at the same time in tabs. I haven't found anything about viewing in split screen. I hope this helps you.

• I don't think so.

• No split screens


 CAN YOU PUT MOVIES ON THE MICROSD AND VIEW THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB ON THE KINDLE?

• I am not 110% sure i don,t see why you would not be able to do it. If it is on you computer just transfer it like music to the kindle .If you buy a movie it is yours don,t think there is a problem.I only downloaded music so far hope i was some help may be some else can help you out better.

• I did not try, but I am sure you can. Look at the help menu or check online for a how too.


 CAN YOU GO ON LINE IN THE CAR?

• Mine only has wifi access. I think they make one with phone capabilites but you have to have a paid provider such as AT&T

• No, not unless you have some kind of wi-fi hotspot access. It's not like a phone that can connect to the internet via 4g.

• If you have wifi in your car, sure. It just needs a wifi connection for online use

• If u have portable WiFi or WiFi build in car

• Not without a mobile provider


 IF A BOOK HAS AN INDEX DO THOSE INDEX PAGE NUMBERS EQUATE TO FIRE PAGE NUBERS FOR THAT BOOK? ARE THOSE PAGES EASILY ACCESSED?

• Some books just track by "Location Number" and others by "Page Number". either way, you cannot directly access the specific page or location randomly. As you read, you can track your progress by the percentage that is displayed in the lower right corner of each screen.

• I don't know. My husband been using it.He's been working on it.Just arrived few week's ago.


 HOW DO I TRANSFER FROM ONE KINDLE TO A NEW KINDLE?

• I didn't have to, the machine knows. When I buy (rent or get free) new books it asks me which of my kindles I'd like it to go to. When I opened my new Kindle, all my previous books from my old Kindle were already there. This new Kindle is so amazing, what an improvement. I love it.

• Go to cloud or connect to your modem address or pull down the top screen and see all info to tranfer


 I DO NOT HAVE A WIFI TV. HOW DO I WATCH FROM KINDLE HD 8 TO TV ?

• You need a wifi connection for it, but I think if you bought a fire stick for your tv it should respond to your fire hd 8.

• I do not know. Call your cable company, they may be able to help you. I watch TV on the Kindle (from my router).

• You can't - your TV needs to be wifi and accept a wireless connection.

• Usb to HDMI convertor?


 CAN NETFLIX AND YOUTUBE BE INSTALLED?

• Yes, you sure can! I had Netflix on mine but switched to Prime, the price is comparible but you get so many extras with Prime, check it out.

• Netflix is free app and had you tube on older model but have not installed on new HD8

• I put the You Tube app on mine. Don't use netflix,so i am not sure on that.

• Yes on You Tube but I don't use Netflix so I'm not sure.


 I'VE NEVER HAD A TABLET OR E-READER, BUT AM THINKING ABOUT 8IN. FIRE. WONDERING IF GOING THROUGH WI-FI, CAN I PRINT ANYTHING THAT'S ON THE SCREEN?

• The only print function I saw was in he silk browser. I use the device mainly for music and streaming. Bluetooth works well. I use that in the gym. I have not even tried to print anything. I wish I could be of more help. Best bet would be to talk to technical help @ Amazon.

• Yes u can


 WILL THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB UNIT PLAY WITH THE CHARGER PLUGGED IN AND CHARGING?

 AS AN E-READER, DOES THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB ONE HAVE THOSE FEATURES SUCH AS HIGHLIGHTS, NOTES, DICTIONARY,ETC?

• I am still learning how to use it, have only been reading my daily devotional so far. It does have everything my older Fire has plus.

• Yes it does


 CAN YOU TEXT?

• No u can not text. It's about the same as the HDX 7, I own, but the 7 is a lot better than this version. It moves too slow to have a quad core processor and the battery doesn't last long. This was a bad buying decision on my part

• Yes. It has a keyboard... and there are apps too in the Appstore that allows you to to text messages to people with phones and make calls as well.

 CAN YOU USE A STYLUS WTHE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GBH THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB FOR EMAIL? MY FINGERS HIT THE WRONG KEYS TOO EASILY.

• Definitely!!!!

• Yes!


 CAN YOU USE GOOGLE SEARCH ON THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB, AND CAN YOU USE GMAIL ON THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB?

• Yes to both questions.

• Yes to both.

• Yes

• Yes


 IS THERE A VUDU APP?

• I don't think so, but I'm not sure - because I bought these as Christmas presents and have already wrapped them. Maybe you can check with company that makes them.

• You would probably have to go through a third party, such as 1 Mobile Market which is like Google Play.

• Don't know what that is,but go to the app store and search it

• No it's not


 CAN I USE A PRINTER WITH THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB?

• It should have an "e-print wireless" sticker somewhere on the front somewhere. It would also depend on the age if the printer.


 DOES THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB COME WITH A DICTIONARY FOR OTHER LANGUAGES? I MEAN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE DICTIONARY IN CASE YOU ARE READING IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE.

• Probably Not.


 DOES THE FIRE 8 HD DISPLAY WI-FI 8GB HAVE BLUTOOTH FOR CARS

• A follow up answer, it does have Bluetooth, but from what I've read, that works to connect with a TV if I have FireTV or Fire Stick,neither of which I am interested in purchasing.

• Yes, it has Bluetooth.

• Does have Bluetooth.
