A great performing tablet at a very nice price point. I decided on the Amazon Fire HD 10 over both the Echo Show 8 and other more expensive tablets. I watched a few videos on YouTube which helped Me decide on this tablet. It does everything that I need it to do; editing Word documents, music, reading, shopping, browse the internet, etc. I think what I like most of all is the ease of accessibility to all of My Amazon Apps. I find this beneficial as a Prime Member and frequent shopper. This tablet came with Microsoft Office already installed, and it does not require a subscription. I love the battery life, especially when playing music. The split screen option is great also for multi-tasking. The Amazon App store has the bare minimum, but sufficient for what I need. I did not even attemtpt to add the Google Play Store, opting to just enjoy the tablet as is. I did get the recommend keyboard/case and I am satisfied with it as well. It is My preferred keyboard for various tasks, however, if I'm writing an essay(s) over the course of a couple of hours, I use My Logitech MX-3 mouse and MX Keys keyboard for extensive writing. I have not had any Bluetooth issues that I am not familiar with. I have had no connection issues concerning input devices, but sometimes, when I stream music to My stereo via Bluetooth, the signal may become distorted after a few hours, at which point, I simply restart My Fire tablet and keep it moving. I added the recommended screen protector and 256GB MicroSD Card. The camera's are not the best, but I did not buy this for it's picture taking capabilities. I would like to see Amazon put a better front facing camera for video conferencing, but then I would have to say the same for Laptop manufacture's as well. However, My Google Pixel has the photos and videos covered. This is convenient for Me because it is lighter than My laptop, though when attached to the keyboard case, this has a little heft to it too, but not in a bad way. The additional weight keeps the tablet stable and in the upright position when being used. At first glance, it looks like a mini laptop. The tablet and case/keyboard are held together by magnets; no complaints because it very easy and simple to detach and attach the keyboard.
Overall, I have no complaints. This can function as someone main computer or as complementary addition to Your main computer eco system, which is My situation. My Tablet, laptop and phone are all USB-C; life is peachy! No regrets or buyer's remorse here! I gave this system a 5 star rating because it fulfills My needs. I would definitely recommend this tablet to anyone on a budget, but wants a very capable tablet.
Update: Wednesday, 08/11/2021.
Earlier I mentioned that this tablet was very capable and that the Amazon App Store was limited; very. As a result, I downloaded and installed the Google Play Store App (GPSA). The process was relatively easy and I did not need the use of an additional computer. This is an Android device at its very core, produced by Google. If You decide to install the GPSA, it is NOT advisable to use it to upgrade any Amazon preinstalled or post-installed apps. This WILL create a conflict, causing Amazon apps to not function at all. Additionally, the tablet will inform You that a default app has been sideloaded. It is better to use the Amazon App Store for all preinstalled and post-installed Amazon apps. Use the GPSA to update only those apps downloaded from Google. The reason why I needed the GPSA was because I have several licenses for Kaspersky Total Protection and did not want to purchase another one through Amazon. I installed it and it works fine. I Am able to go into "Protected Browser Mode" on any web browser that I have installed for making credit card purchases. Additionally, I can protect Myself in the event that My tablet is lost or stolen. So hopefully I addressed two things that I had mentioned earlier, capability of this tablet to perform and use other apps, and accessing those apps that you treasure for Your android devices.
I installed Duo and it works fine. Rather than have a bunch of apps all over the home screen(s), I created folders, i.e., Google and Microsoft in particular, and this is where I keep all of those goodies. My default browser and assistance is all Amazon on this device, though I can access others if I chose to. So yes, this tablet is very capable! In closing, I only know about the apps that I have downloaded and cannot speak for those that We may not have in common. The apps that I have downloaded work as they should. And I only installed what I thought I would need to improve My tablet experience. YouTube is a game changer!
I Am NOT encouraging anyone to perform this operation; only that it can be done, if those issues were going to prevent You from purchasing this tablet. For all practical purposes, My Amazon tablet looks just as an Amazon tablet should look; an Amazon tablet. I did not want for this tablet to look identical to other android tablets on the market. My five star rating still remains.

Good, but with a couple of questionable things, now with extra nuts.
This is my 2nd Fire HD 10 tablet, my first being a 7th Gen 2017 release.It's only purpose for me is content consumption, which both did fine. My reason for upgrading was my 7th Gen was starting to show its lack of ram. As time passed, slow downs and stutters became more common place I decided to finally upgrade. I went with the 64 gig Plus version to try and future proof it as much as possible.The good... So far I have noticed absolutely no slowdowns or stuttering in animations or transitions. It's too early to be sure but I think that problem may be solved. It's usb-c so at least it shares charging cords with my phone. It'll take up to a 1 TB SD card so I can download tons of movies anime and tv show seasons to keep me entertained on the road.Now the bad/wierd...Who in the world thought it was a good idea to put the power button next to the volume rocker? On the older versions the power button, while on the same edge, was at least on the opposite corner of that edge. I have only had the new tablet a little more than 24 hours and have accidentally locked my tablet several times while trying to adjust the volume. Annoying.Now the confusing...Amazon claims the new Fire HD 10 is the 11th generation. This is clearly stated on both the description on the website and on the packaging the tablet come in. Yet in the settings under device information it says it is only 10th generation. I actually contacted customer service thinking they had accidentally packed the wrong tablet. According to the agent I spoke with the 11th generation is the Kindle Paperwhite, the new 2021 Kindle Fire HD 10 Plus is actually 10th Gen. Come on Amazon how can you get this so twisted up?All in all I'm pleased with it, I should be able to get many years of entertainment from it.Update:After an ota update device settings now says it's an 11th generation... If only the hardware was really that easily upgraded.
