Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus or Newer Model?

I saw that Amazon has this for $54.99 right now which isn’t too shabby at all. I mainly would use it for ebooks and comic books reading and some streaming. Would the HD 8 Plus suffice or should look into a newer model?

Should I buy a Paperwhite?

It's still useless for my personal need since I always use Calibre to manage my library anyway, so sideloading to my Kobo & Kindle (Koreader) is always easy Maybe if I want to read manga again I would consider it, but my existing Fire HD 8 tablet is my manga reading device in the first place, especi

New Kindle Fire 8 HD - Search bar

I just grabbed a new Kindle Fire HD 8. The only thing I really want from it is reading and being able to highlight it color. It’s not a bad tablet. I was going back and forth between getting this and getting a Lenovo Tab One 8.7” and just loading the Kindle app on it. Anyway, the only thing that

Best colour ereader for comic/manga?

Best value for money: Kindle Fire HD 8 for manga. Cheap as shit in any Amazon sale, perfect size for manga (and easily reading US comics too tbh). Kindle Fire HD 11. Full HD, lovely, vibrant screen and honestly feels like a 1:1 ratio for US comic pages. Overkill for manga and one you'd keep at home

Getting photos and videos off of Kids' Fire

My granddaughter has a Fire HD 8 Kids' Edition, and she's taken a lot of photos and videos. I'd like to copy some of them off, because they're adorable. This doesn't seem possible, which I find crazy. I've seen a couple other posts on this, but no replies.

Looking for a tablet for my mother

The Samsung A tablet or Lenovo m or IdeaPad tablet are solid. I use the Amazon Fire HD 8.It is solid, but you have to add the Google play store yourself; your dad could handle it, but it is easier to get Samsung or Lenovo.

OS's Suggestions for Fire Tablet

This is exclusive to the 8th Generation HD 8, it won’t work on any other model. Fire tablets are extremely locked down and require exploits to unlock the bootloader. The latest Amazon device to be unlocked with an exploit was the Fire TV Stick (3rd Generation). For the 12th Generation Amazon Fire HD

Comic Device

I liked fire hd 8 inch tablet For me, that size was perfect for comics. Larger tablets were too heavy to hold in one hand.

Book lovers

A kindle would be perfect. A tablet would work well too, because you’d be able to have apps for multiple book sources (Kindle, Nook, Libby, Hoopla, Overdrive, etc). Edit to add- the Fire HD 8 is currently on sale for $65 through Amazon (32 GB with ads).
