It's a 8" (I think) HD tablet from 3 years ago, unopened. Heard of any good alternative uses?

MrBig,

Depending on the version, you might be able to get a stand and use it in show mode and turn it into an Echo Show. I have one from a similar time frame and use it more as a show than I did as a tablet. Worked out nicely. It's still also more than capable to use as a dedicated e-reader.

It could probably be used just fine as it was intended. Pretty sure it can be used as a regular android tablet

Good as a Streaming TV viewer?

Been thinking about getting a cheap tablet for bath time reading. If I drop it and wet it, so what?

"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Eli Weisel

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." - Billy Graham 1981

"Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise" - Barry Goldwater

It's trivial to "jailbreak". You can install/run the Google Play store and Android apps that Amazon doesn't provide.

What they said, plus keep an eye open for AMZ's best sales, Prime Day, BF, etc., and they'll give you (IIRC) $20 + 20% off another Fire/Echo device at those sale prices. You could score a bigger tablet for cheap, w/ its better watchability.

Thanks, using as an Android tablet would be good.

If it takes video input, I would put it to use as a backup monitor for my vehicle.
