I\u2019d love to see it introduced in the iPad. It\u2019s not technologically complicated, but will make using the tablet way more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color has-background has-system-sans-serif-font-family is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-color:#dedede;border-width:1px;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-top:1em;padding-right:1.5em;padding-bottom:1em;padding-left:1.5em\"><ul class=\"has-dates has-small-font-size wp-block-rss\"><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/top-free-ebooks-christmas-2023\/'>Free ebooks for Christmas 2023: here are the top 20 downloads<\/a><\/div><time datetime=\"2023-12-15T14:05:39+01:00\" class=\"wp-block-rss__item-publish-date\">Dec 15, 2023<\/time> <\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/best-personalized-library-gifts\/'>12 best personalized gifts for librarians and library supporters<\/a><\/div><time datetime=\"2023-11-18T11:11:37+01:00\" class=\"wp-block-rss__item-publish-date\">Nov 18, 2023<\/time> <\/li><\/ul><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Fire HD 8 has a completely new look. If in portrait mode, it\u2019s wider than its predecessor. You may assume it\u2019s because of a new display with a different aspect ratio. The fact is that the display is the same (and not so good) as in the 2018 generation \u2013 1280 \u00d7 800 px, with 189 pixel density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A different look is a result of redesigning the bezel. In a previous generation the sides were narrow, while the top and bottom were larger. In the new model the bezel\u2019s width is roughly the same around the display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason is simple:&nbsp;<strong>the front camera was moved from top side in portrait mode to top side in landscape mode<\/strong>. This single design decision significantly changes the way you\u2019ll use the tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From now on, it is much easier to make video calls in a landscape view. In a vast majority of other tablets the camera position is tailored for portrait view, what affects how others see you when talking on Skype or Zoom with a tablet put in a horizontal mode \u2013 the camera is on the side of the screen instead of top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The landscape-first view is a natural choice for a tablet range that\u2019s designed for watching or two-hand use. It\u2019s also connected with the wireless charging stand (Fire HD Plus version only) which lets you charge the tablet only in the landscape position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Fire-HD-8-2020-with-landscape-first-design.jpg?resize=540%2C411&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fire HD 8 2020 with landscape-first design\" class=\"wp-image-146944\" width=\"540\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Fire-HD-8-2020-with-landscape-first-design.jpg?resize=540%2C411&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Fire-HD-8-2020-with-landscape-first-design.jpg?resize=220%2C167&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Fire-HD-8-2020-with-landscape-first-design.jpg?resize=768%2C584&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Fire-HD-8-2020-with-landscape-first-design.jpg?resize=160%2C122&amp;ssl=1 160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Fire-HD-8-2020-with-landscape-first-design.jpg?w=840&amp;ssl=1 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The post originally appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/geekupdated.com\/amazon-fire-hd-8-feature-in-ipad\/\">my personal blog<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Keep exploring:<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[ef-archive number=5 tag=&#8221;amazon-fire&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s surprising that other tablet producers haven\u2019t introduced it yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":146942,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[7],"tags":[11226,11467,11225,11144],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Landscape-first-design-in-Amazon-Fire-HD-8-2020.jpeg?fit=1200%2C732&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pdOQhx-CdZ","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146939"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146939"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146939\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":149236,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146939\/revisions\/149236"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
