It is pricey at 399.. However none of the other tablets can do what this one can. True multitasking is huge but hardly the only thing. The S-pen can do so many things, like draw a box around anything you see. It can be a web page, it can be a book in your kindle app, does matter, it will either cut a any section you want or the whole screen, allow you to crop and paste into S-Note. From their you can annotate to your hearts content.

Precise noting, no more writing with fat rubber tip blunt pens. I loved my iPad but I always thought Jobs had it wrong about dissing the value of the pen. I liked my Note 10.1 for getting things done so much, that I also but the 8 for my in the go device. When I started up Note 8, and logged into all my accounts, all my S-Notes from 10.1 showed up on 8. So it has two way syncing that was a surprise bonus for me.

Not sure about the Netflix issue the other user mentioned, mine is smooth and Netflix works perfect fine on mine.

Hope that helps.

Install flash on my Note and other then library lending from Amazon, it does everything and more my Kindle does. I'm selling my Kindle before the new ones come out while its still worth something. I have an e-ink Kindle for the library borrowing.

The kindle store through the android app for book shopping is the same experience. I have both Amazon's App Store and Of course the Playstore. Buy it before the 30th and you get 50gb of Dropbox space free for two years, and a 25 dollar Playstore credit.

Also if you want to hear from more people, there is a google plus group for the note 8.0..
Thanks for all the helpful info. I have a Kindle keyboard too. I like the size of an 8" tablet too. I love my iPad but sometimes I would like a smaller format and instead of getting another Fire I'm thinking of getting an Android Tablet.

Do you have a link for the Google Plus group?
