Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition review: The best tablet for kids out there right now, thanks in part to the Fire for Kids app subscription and a robust case.

Tons of top-quality content ; 2-year no-quibble warranty ; Sturdy case ; Good battery life

No screen protector ; No offline video viewing

The best kids' tablet so far – although it isn't without its faults. Namely software compatibility troubles and the mediocre hardware underneath.

Hands on: Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition review

 

HD comes to Amazon's kid-friendly tablet

Cheap HD screen ; Rugged build ; Fantastic warranty

Amazon app store is somewhat limited

Who says kids can’t appreciate hi-def video and gaming content? Available for a bit more than the smaller seven-inch version, the HD 8 Kids packs a larger display and a bigger battery life to keep the party going until bedtime comes around.

Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition review: An amazing value

 

The hardware is good, but Amazon's FreeTime Unlimited is the real star of the all-ages Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet.

This low-cost tablet is good enough for most video, game, app and social needs, plus its onboard storage is expandable via microSD card. The Kids Edition includes a wealth of extras, including deep parental controls, a no-questions-asked two-year...

The Kids Edition costs significantly more than the otherwise identical standard version. There are the same app store limitations as the other Amazon Fire tablets, and no kid is going to prefer this to a (much more expensive) iPad.

The kid-friendly version of the excellent Amazon Fire HD 8 costs a lot more, but offers a big package of worthwhile extras for preteens.

Amazon Fire HD 8: A great cheap tablet is now a better deal

 

Except for some new color options, Amazon's 8-inch tablet hardware remains unchanged. But its price drop makes it an even better bargain.

The latest Fire HD 8 delivers faster performance, a bigger battery and more base storage than the previous version for almost half the price. Its 8-inch screen is bright, the speakers are loud and it offers expandable microSD storage and ample parental...

Display isn't as sharp as that of the iPad Mini; to truly take advantage of what the tablet has to offer, you need an Amazon Prime membership; slow charging (takes 6 hours to fully cap battery).

Despite some small drawbacks, you just won't find a tablet with these features and performance at this price.

Great product for my gandson

 

My Grandson absolutely loves his kids kindle. Its very educational for him as well as having pleasure time watching the content for kids and games. This kindle is worth the money and the added bonus of two year guarantee is fantastic.

This tablet was bought for my 3 year old grandson at Christmas. He calls it his special new tablet. I would have preferred printed instructions in the box, instead all information had to be found online. It is for this reason I gave a low score for...
