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

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

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

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 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

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 bedtime bredren, we Futurama sleepers must be careful to protect our eyes when we watch in the dark, and so I have written out a guide on how to do so. Some technical know-how is required, but you can bumble your way through it, and the payoff is worth it.
To avoid wrecking your eyes, ideally y

Throwaway acct bc… well, if my MIL saw this she’d have something to say
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

As the title states, I have a cheap alternative for the iPad mini to work with a Backbone… It’s an Amazon fire HD 8… it runs well… You just have to do some minor tweaking to the software of the fire by installing the Google play store, it took me about 10 minutes to get it running on Nvidia GeForce
