What is the best addition you made to your WFH situation that wasn't for actual work?

I bought a Fire HD 8-inch tablet and a DAC. I side-loaded UAPP (USB Audio Player Pro) onto the tablet and connected the output to my receiver. Now I have all of the music, especially the 24/96 FLAC files on my Synology NAS available (via DLNA) on a decent sized screen for me to play, it is completel

What’s everyone favorite fire tablet model?

For the record, I own many fire devices including kindle fire HDX, Fire MAX, few fire HD 8 and regular kindles.

The best part I like about it is the price. The FIRE MAX and FIRE HDX are the only two that feels premium to me. This is coming from a guy who owns a lot of iOS devices.

Part of me want

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?

New Fire HD 8

Just bought the new Fire HD 8. This is my 2nd Fire. I bought it for a couple reasons. I couldn't pass up the price, between the sale, my employee discount and my card discount it was more than half off. Also my other Fire is 7 years old.

iPad for tabletop navigator?

Cheapest way - Amazon Fire tablet (8" is a reasonable price), enable the real Google Play store vs the stupid Amazon Fire store...which you can easily do, then put the C4 app on it, and the "Fully Single App Kiosk" app. It'll be locked in as a C4 only android device. The Fire 8 tablet is $99 and usu

Mp3 player

A couple of options to "natively" use Libby on portable devices (instead of looking for a way to download MP3 from Libby): In the US? On Amazon, search on "MP3 Android Player". If you're willing to spend $60-$100, there are many small size Android-based MP3 players that can access the Google Play St

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

Which one should I choose?

A great kid case for the Fire HD 8 will cost less than $15. You can buy that separately. I think the ones with the big handles is better than the one shown on that box cover. https://www.amazon.com/Fire-HD-Tablet-Lightweight-Shockproof/dp/B08951YJML/ref=sr_1_2?crid=XR9E419QL0OE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uV7WS1
