Very poor product.I planned to upgrade from my Kindle HDX (3rd gen). 1. Performance - The new Fire HD 8 was noticeably slower. Definite lag when moving from screen to screen. Overall very slow performance vs my current Kindle. 2. Display - very poor resolution. 3. Interface - way too much "in your face" pushing purchases of Amazon products...I'm OK with some pushing but not constantly in my face every time I move to a new screen. Interface needs to be more subtle not overwhelming. This is the first time I've ever returned a Kindle (I've purchased three Kindle's over the years). I love my Paperwhite but this Kindle has missed the mark..Amazon can, and should, do better if it wants to compete with other tablet makers that have superior performance and much better display.I love Amazon and have been a Prime member since it became available. I'm very disappointed in the new Kindle.
