I was gonna buy one of these yesterday but they were £79.99. I had no idea a Prime day is happening today. New account created, Prime trial obtained, £30 off my order. Bish-Bash, as the saying goes, Bosh

Have ordered. Which now means I'm going to have to return the 7 inch I ordered on the 20% off warehouse offer!

If this is the 6th gen one it can't duplicate it's display, so it can't connect to a tv...
Hard to say no at that price. I can have one permanently in my work bag for down time at that price.

I'm sure people have asked in the past but does this run android or can it?

Yes it can, pretty easy to install to. Also have a look at installing acmarket an alternative "cheaper" ; ) android market

Are these any good?
I have been after a tablet for a while and was looking at an iPad but at this price hard to ignore the Fire. Will mostly be used for watching videos via WiFi and tether from mobile.
Opinions?

Well, I have bought a red one. I could not stop myself for £50. More stuff I don't need. I will try and flog my 7" and my old 10 Lenovo.

And red ones are faster, as everyone knows.
I'll still be holding on to my Galaxy Tab S 10.5

The without special offers version is down to £59.99.
As far as I know that means ad free, but have no idea how intrusive the 'with ads' version is?
Edit: from a review
I can live with that. Ordered!

It allows amazon direct access into your home and spies on you, alexa is always listening...

Stops you from texting, using whatsapp, viber, instagram, pinterest, twitter, facebooks and all that other antisocial media, when you're at the cinema?

Pity you have to get prime to get this, I used to have prime , before , so am not a new member. Pity as I am looking for an 8" tablet to take on holidays in 2 weeks time.
If I go ahead, can you put skygo on to this and record films to watch on flight?

My wife's Nexus 7 is starting to lag now. Any advice on whether this is a good replacement would be greatly appreciated. Obviously, I'll need to add Google play store to it I assume?

I had exactly the same problem with my wife's Nexus 7 so I bought the previous Fire HD 8 tablet (without Alexa) and she's really happy with it. Quicker to boot up. Smoother and more responsive to use. I was really impressed.

Can anyone confirm if the showbox and movies HD 2.20 apk files will work on this tablet?
Also is kodi available on the app store?
Finally - is there anyway of hooking this up with the tv? Some of the q and As on amazon say u can by getting a micro usb to usb cable or something but some say you cant?
Thanks ^^

Good point's Sarah Sujlic :smile: - just repeating you here but...
Basically can you run Showbox, Modpro , Kodi and apk files on this ?
Can anyone confirm if the showbox and movies HD 2.20 apk files will work on this tablet?
Can you sort Google Play store on this easily ? or use Downloader or ES Explorer like you can on the Fire sticks/tv's ??
Also is kodi or even SPMC available on the app store? or is it a watch YOUTUBE vid thing to side load it etc ?
Yeah, finally - is there anyway of hooking this up with the tv? micro usb to usb cable work? can you mirror cast or similar ?

How do you install play store on this device and would installing it invalidate the warranty?

12 Jul 17#62
supposed to be delivered today but looks like was stolen by the delivery guy!
says "handed to resident" but nobody was at home at that time and no notes left.
CS said they ordered a replacement for me but have to wait 6-8 weeks :disappointed:
