Well the new HD 8 I bought on Prime Day performs much better than the HD 6 (both are running same Fire OS version). And sync seems more reliable. I have about 2000 books in my library and that doesn't seem to push things, adding and removing items from collections is no longer painfully slow. It is nice to have louder speakers, dual band WiFi, and SD expansion.
I have not used it long enough to see how much better power management is. It seems to charge as slowly as the HD 6, and (unfairly compared to my iPad, which cost 20x more) drains quickly. It drained about %15 overnight in sleep mode (but there was a system update). How do they get 12 hours of 'mixed usage'? But I have to think it is hours better than HD6 ever was.
For $50, not much to regret.
