Gave it a thumbs up but wish it had more ram. 2gb is just to little for anything other than very basic usage.
Wish it had 4gb for this size.

you can always contact customer service and request to stop the ads. Takes less than 2 minutes for them to do so.

For this cost what's a better option with Google play?

Did the trade-in thing with an HD8 so total before tax and $4 CA recycle fee was $66.39. Great deal! Tried to get another with another trade-in but looks like you can only get the 20% off one time.

$107.99 - $21.60 (20%) - $20 Trade-in Gift Card = $66.39.

UPDATE: I had tried to get a 2nd HD10 by trading in an old HD10 for $30 GC and another 20% but could only get the $30GC. Oddly, I had to update the shipping address of my original order and when I did that, Amazon applied both GC's to the order ($50) and now it is $36.39 before tax and fee! WOW!

Does $30 for a previous gen HD10 sound like a good deal or should I try to sell it elsewhere?

FYI:

Costco currently has the samsung tab a 8" for $120. $30 off. Much better than this ad supported garbage.

Pros:
Good battery life
Great for watching movies and consuming media ( CPU on it is made for it )
Good build quality
Cheap and affordable
Ads ( can be removed if you contact the support or pay ~$15 )

Cons:
Gets very slow if you want to multitask
Only 2Gb RAM
Not made for web browsing
Amazon's bloatware ( watch tutorials on how to remove most apps and install Google Play Store in under 10 minutes )

Sold mine and got Samsung S7 for $200 during Samsung's fire sale ( I know, it's not a fair comparison )

I think unless you truly can't spend on anything better this is never worth it. Amazon tablets are insultingly slow and ad supported junk on top of it is insult to injury.

The toolkit also allows you to replace the launcher, add Google Play Store, and debloat the whole device.

Personally, I'm not sure if it's worth trading in my 2017 model, since I don't really need it.

Does it matter if the HD 8 has a cracked screen?
