When I got my Kindle HD Fire 10 in 2017, I went to YouTube to see how or if I could add Google Chrome. I was able to find a video right away, followed the steps - and within minutes I had both Google Chrome and the Google Playstore. It has worked without a hitch since.

I'm a 60-year-old grandmother who is not very tech-savvy, so I was very grateful for this! I just got a new 2020 Kindle HD Fire 8 and will be doing the same thing with this one.

The 9W charger with the HD plus is nothing to brag about, even the 5W charger is only a 1A charge; which my 7th gen is limited to; even with a 24W charger. The Usb/C port is only a C pinout, NOT a true Usb/C, charging is limited by firmware to ~1A; so this newest gen is still extremely slow charging!
It's barely noticeable when you have the ad screen. Spend the $15 on a more memory and get a mini SD card. It takes about 1/2 second to swipe away the ad screen, it doesn't stay on long enough to even read it

Officially, 1TB.
In regards to current prices/market:
1TB costs above $200, and 2TB is not available for purchase yet. Most economical high capacity would be a 400GB card. 512GB can be had for a little more.
When higher than 1TB is available, it might work? But most likely has NOT been tested, hence the official 1TB “limit”.

(No, I don't work for Amazon in any capacity and I don't expect any renumeration. LOL) -PEACE-

One week ago I could not answer this question, now I can. I just received my HD8-10th generation. The cover from last year's model (8th generation) does not fit.

I'm a little angry, not so much because it doesn't fit, but because the other one only lasted 6mos and I'm not willing to pay $20 for another cover and have it poop out again in that length of time. My HD7 had been good for 4 yrs and I expected at least 2 from the gen8. I did cut the extra face cover to fit the face area of the new one so the screen doesn't get scratched. I guess they are building 'programmed obsolescence' into these things now.

Go into your tablet Settings and scroll down to "Device Options", then click on "Keyboard & Language" and click on "Current Keyboard Settings". Near the bottom, you will see an option that says "Split Keyboard". When you click on that, a window will pop up where you can uncheck the boxes to disable the split keyboard.
