Amazon is currently offering up to $20 off their affordable and highly-rated Fire tablets. Score $10 (20 percent) off the 8GB Fire 7 tablet and $20 (22 percent) off the upgraded 16GB HD 8-inch model.

The Fire 7 tablet features a bright IPS display for a crisp picture at wide viewing angles and a 1.3GHz quad-core processor for snappy streaming and gaming. This model comes standard with either 8GB or 16GB of internal memory (the 16GB is $20 more but you can still score the discount), and storage can be expanded by up to 200GB via an internal MicroSD card slot if you need more space for your apps and files.

The Fire HD 8 offers an upgrade over the standard model with an 8-inch high-definition touchscreen and a larger battery, which can hold a single charge for up to 12 hours. Under the hood, it utilizes the same 1.3GHz quad-core processor as the Fire 7 but adds 50 percent more RAM for a nice speed boost. The standard 16 or 32GB of internal storage can also be expanded to 200GB, as with the Fire 7. The 32GB model is $20 more, but you still get the discount.

Fire tabletsThese tablets feature Amazon’s cloud-based Alexa service. Alexa makes it easy to access your media libraries, search the web, send messages, and more — all via simple voice commands. Also included is Amazon Underground, which offers thousands of completely free apps and games. Enjoy access to millions of shows, ebooks, paid apps and games, movies, and music albums as well.

Normally the 8GB Fire 7 tablet retails for $50 and the 16GB Fire HD 8 retails for $90, but for a limited time both models are discounted to $40 and $70 respectively. We don’t know how long the offer is going to last, but these are great deals if you’re looking to score one of Amazon’s feature-laden and well-reviewed Fire tablets.

If you’ve been waiting around for tablet deals to fall into your lap, today is your lucky day! Right now, you can purchase the Amazon Fire HD 10 at Woot for just $70. This isn’t a refurbished product either, so you won’t have to worry about what kind of life the HD 10  had before it arrived at your home. While this is a 2021 model, the 53% off sale may only last until new stock is depleted. If you want a new tablet and want to save some money, we highly recommend this deal.

Why you should buy the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet
This version of the Amazon Fire HD 10 is a Lockscreen Mode model. This means that sponsored content and special offers will be displayed on both the Home Screen and Lockscreen. These pop-ups aren’t too distracting, and they’re one of the main reasons you’ll be saving a ton of dough on the HD 10. Beyond this one little distraction though, this is a terrific Amazon Fire tablet that has seen a lot of fanfare over the years.

They tend to be on the expensive side, so you're going to want to take advantage of this year's Memorial Day 8K TV deals. They still won't be cheap after the discounts, but you shouldn't dismiss the savings that you can enjoy. We've gathered the best offers that are already available below, and we've even highlighted our favorite bargain -- all to help you make a quick decision on what to buy, as we're not sure how long these lowered prices will hold for the holiday.

Should you buy a tablet on Black Friday or wait for Cyber Monday?
11-inch version of Huawei MatePad Pro tablet

A lot of folks wait all year for Black Friday so they can pick up a tablet, but many also worry about whether waiting for Cyber Monday is a better idea. Well, we'll look into that, as well as some great Black Friday deals you can pick up right now.
Should you buy a tablet on Black Friday?
Yes, absolutely, especially since Black Friday is one of the best times to pick up electronics like tablets. If you're worried about Cyber Monday, the truth is that while offers tend to be mirrored, there's no absolute guarantee that you'll find the same item on sale for the same price or at all. That means you're better off picking up Black Friday tablet deals when you see them rather than waiting. That said, even if you do find a better deal on Cyber Monday, you should still be within the return window for Black Friday, so you can return that tablet for a full refund and buy the one with the better offer.
Our 5 favorite Black Friday tablet deals
Fire HD 10 tablet --  $75, was $150

The Fire HD 10 tablet is Amazon's attempt to hit the budget tablet market running, and they do a surprisingly good job of it. You get a 10.1-inch FHD display with relatively good brightness and 3GB of RAM, which is more than enough for most day-to-day usage. With this deal, you also get 32GB of storage, although you can bump it up to the 64GB version if you feel you need it. It has the same experience as the Fire TVs since it carries the same OS, so if you're already a fan of that, you're in luck! One thing we need to point out, though, is that this is a lock screen-ad-supported version, which is why it's so cheap. Luckily, you can get it without the lock screen ads for an extra $15, and we encourage you to do that if you can.
