I'm somewhat happy with the new Fire HD8 release as it's saving me money buying a new Fire HD 8 this year. I have last year's. My interest in the Alexa Show is not nearly high enough given I have 3 echo dots scattered around the house already.

I'd have like more speed and a better "don't use up the battery when the device is not in use" mode. Actually, the latter is all that's really missing for my "watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and read Kindle books" use cases. Since my iPad is my daily driver tablet, the Kindle is often dead when I pick it up if I didn't turn it off after using it. My ipad can go a very long time without use and still have about the same battery life left as when you last used it.
