Wifi connection just ok, Libby added, WSJ app initial sign in problem – This is my second HD8 Plus (2020) tablet and I use both mainly for reading newspapers and books. Occasionally the wifi doesn’t connect and I have to move closer to the router for the initial connection, which is maintained once connected when I return to the more remote location. An earlier Fire 8 (2016) did not have the same connection problem in the same locations.

The extra RAM is essential but there are significant problems with the design – Good: Inexpensive, high battery life, adequate performance, USB-C charging

Do not use sd card. Buy device with more storage. – I found out what was wrong with my 7″ fire after I got this tablet. I got the 7″ to play my games on because I wanted to play on a bigger screen that is light. However, I had a problem within months of getting it & called customer service. The representative did screen sharing & although she couldn’t exactly figure out the problem, she found a solution. Months later, though, I had the same problem, but was so ticked off about it that I didn’t call for a long time. Finally called & as soon as I told rep about issue playing facebook games, he said to call facebook. Obviously rep is not familiar with facebook, because you can’t call them. You message them on pc/app. I explained that I kept receiving an error message about an embedded browser, but the rep wouldn’t screenshare to see what I was seeing & just wanted to get me off the phone & not try to solve my problem. After that, call, I worked on my facebook settings to see if I could get my games to work again & had initial success but had the problem again. I mention all this because the same thing happened with the 8″, but this time I had clues from my 7″ issues to help me solve the problem. Initially I played my games without using a sd card, but I had problem when I put it in. I erased & reformatted it first & received a warning that it may slow things down. It did. My game was so slow that I took out the sd card. This took out all the games I had transferred, so I put the card back in and got the embedded browser error message. I tried a new sd card, same issue plus another issue I had had with my 7″. I kept get messages when I opened my tablet that the sd card was missing & it wouldn’t let me use it till I ‘reinserted’ the sd card. The sd card was never missing, it was in the tablet the entire time, but i took it out then put it back in. THAT was the PROBLEM the whole time, the SD CARD! I didn’t play games on the 7″ till after I put in sd card. Since I played games on the 8″ before putting in sd card I knew the problem wasn’t the facebook’s, but Amazon’s. The way the device is set up, it is finicky about the sd card. Device doesn’t always recognize that the sd card is in & taking it out & putting it back in just causes problems with apps that were moved to it. The best option is to NOT USE SD CARD. I took out the sd card, did a factory reset (I had just bought this & the only thing I had done on it was play games, so I didn’t lose anything) then set it back up and enjoyed my games again. You CAN play facebook games on fire devices because they are on the app store, there is no problem with facebook, it’s the sd card. My recommendation is that if you use a lot of apps on a tablet, buy the tablet with more storage. Using a sd card is more headache that it is worth. Also, I tried 2 different brands of sd card & same issue. I bought the 32GB tablet which does suit my needs. Also, this device works fine. I would have given it 5 stars if it hadn’t been for the sd card issue. Do Not Use SD Card! What really bums me out is that I finally figured out what the issue was on the 7″ fire, but only after I’d traded it for a bigger tablet. I thought that the issues I was having were because the 7″ wasn’t as advanced as the 8″ which I thought was weird since I had an older 7″ that worked fine. The Amazon reps need new training to better help with Fire issues such as I had. I didn’t appreciate being brushed off by the last rep I spoke with & if the reps did get better training, I would have still have the 7″ that I really wanted. On the plus side, due to Amazon’s error/poor training, you now know Not to get a sd card for your Fire.
