I got two 12th gen Fire 8 tablets for £40 each ($54). IMHO that is absurdly cheap for HA dashboards...

So, I was going to grab them off eBay, but then I thought I'd check Amazon and it turned out that they had refurbished 12th gen 2022 Fire HD 8 tablets for £40. Nice..

That is literally cheaper than getting a raspberry pi and a screen or buying some cheap crappy android with a random brand-name, and

What happened to all my books? had been reading on my kindle with Calibre for ~ 3 or 4 years, suddelny my entire collection is gone (except what was purchased through kindle)

Few things. Fire HD 8 is not a kindle. So your title is wrong. Secondly yes it is a black and white e ink screen. I was simply providing what I did to get out of the Amazon echo system. Lastly amazon devices have been having issues with side loaded ebooks. This is a known issue. Head over to mobile

Part of me want

Is Amazon methodically wrecking Google Apps?

Now Google Docs, Sheets, and Keep are all crashing when opened up. They haven't wrecked Chrome yet but I expect that may be coming. I already had to find 2 other Clients for Gmail and Calendar. They are making this tablet far less useful to me as time goes on. It is the current Fire HD 8 tablet.

Kobo and tariffs

Kobo doesn't have the history with their books that Amazon does. Aside from the main complaints, I really didn't like that regardless of having my wifi disabled on my Kindle, Amazon still pushed updates to my Kindles and my Fire HD 8. That means that somehow there's still a connection under the hood

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

My MIL got my 15 month old a “fire HD 8 kids” for Christmas. It was kinda put on the closet shelf but my husband and I decided that a table is an inappropriate gift for our (now) 19 month old. Don’t get me wrong- I’m not anti
