5 Reasons to Buy the 2020 Amazon Fire HD 8 & 2 Reasons Not To

For a Great Battery Life & USB C

Even with better performance battery life on the Amazon Fire HD 8 and 8 Plus is still rated at 12 hours. That's impressive for a tablet in this price range, and great news for when things start to open up a little and road trips are back on the table. 

The new model also includes USB C charging which is handy for a few reasons. First off, it is more common than micro-USB now, so there is a better chance that you will find a connection to charge with your gadgets or on the go. Second, the connection plugs easily in either direction, so you can quickly plug it in. This also makes it easier for kids to charge their own devices. 

If you spring for the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus, you also get wireless charging and there is an optional wireless charging dock.
