Kindle Fire HD 8 Guide for Beginners When you first get your hands on that bright Amazon box containing your new Kindle Fire HD 8, you'll probably be excited to tear it open and start using your new tablet right away. I totally get that feeling But let's take a moment to see what Amazon has packed in there for you. The first thing you'll notice is the tablet itself, which comes wrapped in a protective plastic sleeve. The Kindle Fire HD 8 has a nice, solid feel to it without being too heavy, and the 8-inch screen is just the right size for comfortable reading and watching videos. You'll also find a USB-C charging cable in the box, which is great because USB-C charges faster than the older micro-USB cables that came with previous Kindle models. However, you might notice that Amazon doesn't include a wall adapter, so if you don't already have one lying around from another device, you'll want to pick one up or use your computer to charge the tablet initially. Along with the tablet and cable, you'll find some paperwork including a quick start guide and warranty information. I know it's tempting to toss these aside, but the quick start guide actually has some helpful tips that can save you time later. There's also a small card with information about setting up parental controls if you're planning to let kids use the device. To continue reading, Get your copy
