UPDATE: Make sure you insert your card correctly!! Directions could be WRONG!!
UPDATED!!!!
I have to update my review after buying another Fire tablet. The first tablet I bought was the Fire HD10 and I followed the directions according to the graphics given. The card EASILY slid into the slot with no problem. After all, the directions told me to do it this way, with the notches on the card pointing downward.
Then I bought the Fire HD 8 (7th Generation). I inserted the card the same way as I did with my Fire HD10, the way the directions told me to. It DID NOT WORK!!!! I could not for the life of me get the card to spring into the slot. I tried about 3 x's when I thought, turn the card upside-down. Even though the directions tell me the notches should be facing down and the label should be facing towards me, I decided to turn it. VOILA!!! The card sprung into the slot!! The directions are NOT CORRECT for the HD8!!! You need to havethe notches facing up.
For both tablets, there is a slight spring-like action when inserting the card. For removal, you should push in the card slightly with your fingernail and it should spring out enough for you to pull it out.
This card works very well with the fire tablet. At first, I thought any micro SD card would work but the others seem to lag when retrieving from the card. I have no problems with lagging on this one. It works just like the internal memory. I have my music stored on this card and the songs play smoothly. If you have a Fire tablet, get this one which is made for it!
Just remember, insertion of the card depends on your Fire tablet!!!
I bought this for the Fire HD10. I had my music from my CDs stored on my computer and transferred them onto this with a memory card reader. I suggest you get at least an adapter to change it into an SD card to use with your computer OR a memory card reader which takes many forms of cards, those are the best. It makes it easier and faster to transfer files, erase files, or to format.
I have had no problems with it so far with the Fire tablet or my computer.
