The Fire HD 8 is a plastic-shelled tablet available in black, blue, red, and yellow. It measures 8.4 by 5.0 by 0.4 inches and 13 ounces. It's a decent size to hold in one hand as an ebook reader, but it's a bit too heavy for marathon reading sessions (the Kindle Paperwhite weighs 7.2 ounces, a big difference). It's not formally ruggedized or water-resistant, but the plastic shell can withstand average drops and knocks.

The HD 8's 1,280-by-800 LCD has 189 pixels per inch and isn't the brightest. The smaller Fire 7 has a brighter but less dense screen at 171ppi. The HD 8's display also tends to be a little yellow, while the Fire 7 is powerfully blue (neither is particularly evenly white). The extra pixels here really make a difference when reading comics and online magazines, though. Small text in the PCMag Digital Edition is considerably more readable on the HD 8 than on the smaller tablet, and comics panels have a bit more room to breathe.
