Is the Fire HD 8 (2024) worth it?

Yes if you want a cheap tablet for Prime Video, Kindle books and light browsing. It is not worth it if you need Google apps or a sharp screen for work.

Can I install Google Play on it?

Not out of the box. It ships with the Amazon Appstore, and Google Play requires sideloading, which is unofficial and can break after updates.

How does it compare with the Fire HD 10?

The HD 10 has a larger, sharper 1080p screen and more RAM, but costs more. The HD 8 is easier to hold and cheaper, at the cost of resolution and speed.

Does it have a microSD slot?

Yes. Storage can be expanded with a microSD card, which is the cheap way to add room for downloaded video.

The tablet, a USB-C charging cable and a power adapter. Check the listing, since some sellers ship only the tablet.
