QVC came through with a speedy shipment; received Fire 8" in 2 days and at $ 49 (including additional 32gb chip).  I usually buy from Amazon but this is a really good buy ($40 cheaper than Amazon).

I want to watch a presentation. Is it an e-book reader too?

This can serve as e-reader. Do search on item  E233401 to watch presentation.

Bought one tonight.

Got it in the blue.

Hope it works well.

@threecees :  I have it all set up and it works fine.  I have bought a lot of Fire tablets over the years (14 in 12 years) for me including at least 6 for my Grands.  Since they are young, screens get broken and one got taken by housekeeping by mistake.  At least at $50 or less each they are affordable.  Actually, I want to upgrade to the new Fire 10.1 but it won't be out until closer to Christmas.  Hopefully there will be a deal on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

What? QVC got a delivery out in two days? WOW! That is amazing in itself.

@patbz @apple1964 I'm quite sure that was drop shipped from Amazon, not QVC.

I just received the Fire 8HD, so far so good, except it is taking a long time to charge.   Did some research and some people also had problems with charging.  Has this happened to anyone else?   I have a Kindle and a Fire, have placed a protection cover on them but I was wondering if they are really needed.   Also just ordered a case since I use them for all of my Kindle and my Fire.

I now always use a case and the shatterproof glass to protect the screen.  When there is the occasional drop, so far no.problem!  I buy my covers from Ebay ( much cheaper).

Patbz,

What shatterproof glass brand do you buy?
