Amazon has announced a new Fire HD 8 tablet. It's a refresh of the Fire HD 8 tablet that last saw an upgrade in 2022.
Like seemingly every single tech device produced this year, the latest Amazon tablet is arriving with generative AI-powered tools. However, if you don't want to pick up a new tablet, the Fire HD 10 and Fire Max 11 will also be getting these AI tools.
The AI tools include a writing assist feature meant to polish up writing, which is part of the tablet's keyboard. It also has AI summaries in the Amazon Silk web browser and AI image generation for wallpapers.
Amazon says in their announcement that the tools will land on "all compatible Fire tablets later this month.”
The 2024 Fire 8 HD is available in black, emerald and hibiscus with a starting price of $99.99. It's available right now, and Amazon already has it on sale for $54.99 ahead of the October Prime Big Deal Days.
There are also two kid versions, with 32 or 64 GB variants in the Fire HD 8 Kids Pro built for kids ages 6 to 12. It's not clear from Amazon's announcement if the Kids versions come with AI, based on the Amazon store listing it appears not. Though these ones do get all the other upgrades that the normal version received.
