I know everyone hates on the Fire HD tablets, but for $20, these are a no-brainer for simple use. They're not for gaming or multitasking at all, but for watching a movie or using Alexa or controlling lights/etc they're perfectly serviceable.

There's a SD slot but if you wanted the 32GB instead of 16GB, it's $27.

Quad-Core: 1.3 GHz, with 1.5 GB of RAM (same as the 8th gen)

edit: use XDA Fire Toolbox to remove ads to speed it up

I'm not saying you should buy this at all (unless you need something to teach you to slow down and be more Zen) but old tablets make great clocks. There are a bunch of "big clock" apps that will keep the tablet awake as long as it's plugged in. I always set the screen to the lowest brightness setting that permits the numbers to be viewed, otherwise the LCD light makes it too hard (for me) to sleep.

If you yourself can't use this then think about an elderly relative who's eyes ain't so great anymore.

Sorry about the low quality of the pic, which shows either the 7th or 8th gen 8" Amazon tablet.
And for those unaware, getting Play Store onto these is very easy. Lots of simple YouTube step by step guides!
Can be used for a trade in and get $20 gift card and up to 20% off a new tablet.

If you're lucky you might get one without ads

I installed play store and everything slowed down, I dont recommend
With adb you can disable all of Amazon's bloatware, including the ads. You mentioned you installed Play store, so I am assuming you did this with adb.

just turn on show mode. swipe down from the top and toggle it, or, just say "echo, turn on show mode"

ps. seems like the same CPU as all 3 gen shows:
MT8163V/B 4x ARM Cortex-A53
@ 1.3 GHz

pps. you'll want to use bluetooth speakers for music if that's your goal -- the show sounds much better, but this wins on versatility

Do you have experience about how long does it take to receive the trade-in value in your account? It is after you submit the request, or after they receive and appraise the trade-in? TIA

Mailed mine in on Wednesday with ups drop-off, have not heard back yet on credit or coupon so I am guessing at least a few days at minimum.

Will this work well with the Blink cameras (in show mode)? I don't own any echo shows apart from this. I hope this wouldn't be too slow for such task.

Quote from 80is :
the problem with that is that the clock apps will stop working on the tablet at some point, unless you write your own.
Why? I have my tablet clocks disconnected from Wi-Fi and they just chug along, even correcting for daylight savings time.

The oldest tablet is an HP Touchpad which might be 10 years old. I started using it as a clock when the digitizer went wonky.

7th Gen is from 2017, if you are curious. 4 year old, almost 5 year old tablet.
My HP TouchPad from 2011 fire sale still running strong. It's security cams viewer, movie player, used to run Kodi. Sure it's slow by newest standards, but perfectly usable gizmo.

For $19 possibilities are endless, just use your imagination.
