Amazon Fire 1 year later- how has it held up?

Last year I purchased an Amazon Fire 8 8GB, so how well has it held up? For one, quite well. For two, with some modification.
One- what's gone wrong? Nothing. All is well on my sofa
Two- what modifications or changes? Well, I broke down and switched the 4GB Micro SD card in it out for a 16GB.

My storage screens. Really not much to play with after installing a few apps.

I also finally installed Google Play Services in order to get an actual YouTube and Google Hangouts app, however that also finally allowed me to download TextNow as well.

How to use an old Android phone as a Wifi only burner or tablet

Aight, so earlier this month I finally replaced (and regretfully so) my fabled LG Phoenix 3 with a Blu Vivo 5 Mini. I still use my LG Phoenix 3 religiously and thus have turned it into a Wifi only burner or tablet, so here is how to do that.
Step 1: Get an old phone.
It doesn't have to be high end (hence the entrylevel LG), then remove the SIM if one is still in it.
Step 2: Download TextNow
This will allow you to send texts and calls over Wifi with a real number (this is the burner part)
Step 3 (only for if using as a tablet): Install apps you would normally put onto a tablet
I installed Hulu and Pluto TV. The 2 apps I use on my Fire.
The Result:
I've used this setup for about 2 weeks now, and it is fine (in comparison to using my phone). My only issue is the lack of proper cell service, however I can always just pop my AT&T GoPhone SIM back in.
