There is no discussion thread for this tablet. So I have started one. Feel free to post whatever you like about the Amazon Fire HD 8" tablet.

Due to the odd spate of unannounced discounts, I decided to get one. I'd always wanted to try an 8" tablet. For that price ($99 16GB Tangerine), it was a good time to try it.

First of all the orange color, while pretty, is very "in your face." I put a "clear" plastic shell on it, which mutes the color somewhat.

I've done a little reading on it, and it seems just fine, though I still prefer to use Moon+ Reader over the Amazon app.

Watching a nature TV show on Netflix now, and the screen is fabulous. Maybe I'll actually watch more video, now.

For a hundred bucks, it's a pretty good tablet!
