This popular front page deal from beginning of the month is back:

https://www.amazon.com/Fire-HD-8-...B0839NDRB2

32GB model, Slate color, accept SD card up to 1tb.

8 Plus comes with 1gb more RAM (3gb RAM total), and wireless charging, comes with faster charger (9w, supports up to 15w charging), vs the standard 8 tablet (2gb RAM, 5w regular charger).

I have the Fire HD10 and really like how lightweight it is, perfect to use a consumption device vs the much heavier iPads I have. Because it's so light I can easily use it without fatigue, throw it around, etc. Much easier to use around the house.

This 8 inch device should be great for all around use like in bed, in car, or out and about.

Featured Comments

Not OP but I had a HD10 and HD8 (not plus). HD10 > HD8, tho I ended up returning both since it couldn't serve my purpose. Would recommend a 10 for $20 more, not the 8. The 8 got a slower processor that's painfully laggy and the screen is inferior, the screen on the 10 is much nicer and better speakers. 8 is easier to carry around
Because they're talking about their experience with the 10, but the advertisement is for the 8. The inference is that the 8 is also light, and therefore "better" compared to the ipad (eventhough the difference is less than half a pound). But the 8, 10, and ipad all have completely different specs and are not comparable.
Agree I just bought both of these. I sent the 8" one back as it was noticeably slower while the 10 was pretty snappy and impressive.


Tip: enable developer options by clicking the device serial number a few times in settings and get the 3 animation scales to .5x instead of 1x it helps these devices tremendously

Post is confusing. You're advertising the Fire 8 Plus, but hyping up the Fire 10

How is this confusing if they quoted Amazons actual listing?

These are AMAZING manga/graphic novel devices if you sideload Tachiyomi.

Not sure how it's confusing...I got my first Fire HD 10 tablet just recently, used Amazon toolbox to debloat it and it's great. I think the Fire 8 Plus tablet will be great as well, especially for the dirt cheap price of $55.

Both 8 and 10 version can be great. $55 for the 8 inch tablet is peanuts to have a super portable tablet for media consumption. Can't beat the value of $130 to have both a 10in and 8in tablet that are great media consumption devices.

This is one of those no brainer decisions to get something so low cost but super useful. $75 for the 10in tablet was a no brainer. $55 for this 8in tablet should be a no brainer as well.

My Fire 8 Plus tablet is arriving today and I look forward to setting it up and use as a video consumption device anywhere I go...I'll throw it in my bag and have it with me so I can chill with it anytime, anywhere.

This video test shows both being pretty comparable.

I expect the 8 to be a bit slower but for watching videos and such it won't matter. The Fire 10 HD (non-plus version) is pretty snappy. The 8 shouldn't be that much different based on the video that tests both side by side.
