Less visible changes include a better processor, more RAM, and a 64-bit rather than 32-bit architecture. Hardware: A Few Improvementsįeature-wise, the HD 8 is very similar to the 7, but with a number of improvements due to its newer generation (7th generation, where my old 7 is 5th) and higher price point. However, one of the biggest irritations has largely gone by the wayside: it’s a lot easier to add Google Play now. It still has the weird divide of separating the Kindle ebook reader into separate apps: “Kindle” for Amazon-purchased ebooks and “Documents” for sideloaded documents. The “Mail” client is much improved, but still not what I’d have picked as my primary-use conduit to my Gmail. Not a whole lot has changed in the user interface from the first $50 Fire I bought a couple of years ago, and it still has a number of the same minor irritations and nice touches I remarked on for that earlier Fire. Less than 24 hours later, it arrived on my porch, at no extra charge for the speedy delivery. Sunday night, I decided to order one of the 16 GB Fire HD 8 models on sale this week from Amazon.
Sometimes it’s really pretty nice living in a city that also hosts a major Amazon distribution center.
