Reviews for the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition 2017

Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition (2017) review:
Source: CNet English Archive.org version
The kid-friendly version of the excellent Amazon Fire HD 8 costs a lot more, but offers a big package of worthwhile extras for preteens.

If you're looking for an entertainment and educational tablet for your child, the Amazon Fire HD 8 for Kids is the best choice. The cost isn't outrageous, and you save even more with FreeTime Unlimited. The two-year Worry-Free warranty has the potential to save you a lot of money in repair or replacement costs. And, because the protective case is removable, the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition doesn't have to look like, or function only as, a kids' device.

This display format is in the mid-range for smartphones. It offers a compromise between good visibility, details and resolution on the screen, and you can still fit it into trouser pockets.
