I picked up a HD8 yesterday. They are now on sale for 59 bucks, so I did. I have a 2017 fire 7 with a cracked screen. I had quit using it for reading but still used it for an android app for controlling media on a blu ray player (only android available not IOS for that particular player.) To my surprise the old android app does not work on the new Fire HD8. It still works on the 7 so I'll keep that around just for that use. I would have thought the newer fire os would have been backward compatible with older android apps. But it's still a good reader. I also like downloading netflix movies and shows to it when I travel on planes.
