However, this new fire is much snappier than it's predecessor. I can actually browse on Amazon and web browse with no issues. I'd compare it speed wise to the fire 10". I just prefer the smaller size of the 8".
My main use for my fire is reading and I love having it on dark mode, the blue light filter on, and a matte screen protector and I'm good to go. I prefer the size and I love seeing my books in color.
Overall I love it. It's not a high end tablet, but if you plan to use it for reading, media consumption or light games, it's perfect.
Also the 2022 versions cases fit this tab as well. I put my case from my old tab on here and it fit perfectly.

For a user like myself, the improvements are obvious. Compared with the 8th-gen, everything is faster and smoother. I no longer have to wait until the browser awakens and accepts my input when I want to look up a few facts about an e-book I am reading. I have sideloaded Google Play Store and installed an assortment of apps including Chrome, and everything loads quickly.
As I mentioned, I use this Fire tablet as an e-reader, and if I were using it as my primary tablet, I would probably have different feelings about its spec and performance level (if compared with the Fire HD 10 or iPad, both of which I own, the difference is very obvious). But if I compare this 12th-gen with my old 8th-gen HD 8, used as an e-reader, the benefits of the upgrade are very clear, and it's a no-brainer "Buy" recommendation, esp. at the discounted price.
P.S. If you use an SD card on this device to store things like e-books, images, videos and music, be sure to choose the card as an external, not internal, storage. If you choose the internal storage option, the default storage location is the system storage, which fills up quickly. By choosing the SD card as an external storage, you will have the option to designate certain files to go there, not the system storage.
You should be prepared for its limitations regarding the Amazon App Store - there is certain to be some app you are used to that won't be there unless all you do is read Kindle books. You may already know this - the App Store maybe has about a third of the titles that Play has. Setting up to side load from Google Play will probably be in your future unless this is just an Ereader and Amazon shopping device for you. See the Android Police website for a very good tutorial on how to set up for access to Google Play.
Another thing to note: Fire tablets are designed to sell you more stuff. Expect to see a fair amount of Amazon promotions - this just comes with the territory. I recommend paying the extra $15 to avoid the "Special Offers" version - you know, the one that pesters you with ads on the lock screen. These quickly become annoying. Even if you buy the special offers version, you can later pay the $15 to opt out. Worth it, trust me.
Regarding privacy - well, that horse left the barn a long time ago. When you set up your Fire tablet you'll find it knows as much about you as the rest of Amazon, no surprise there. Also, this is an Alexa device to it may be listening to you. Amazon says it records only when Alexa is invoked, but who really knows (outside of their data collectors).
In summary, this Fire tablet performs satisfactorily and doesn't really present any new privacy risks that you aren't already incurring.
A quick plug: If you are an ebook reader and are not using Overdrive through your local library, you are missing a bet. Same with magazine subscriptions. There is so much free to read stuff out there, i.e., that your tax dollars are paying for anyway, you might as well jump on this.
