Best Amazon Fire tablet deals: Save on Fire HD 8, Fire Max 11 and more

The best tablets have a lot to offer in terms of performance, but affordability isn’t always something you’ll find in them. The Amazon Fire tablet lineup is a great alternative to some of the better-known tablet lineups, and in terms of pricing an Amazon Fire tablet is much more affordable than iPad deals, Samsung tablet deals, and Microsoft Surface Laptop and Surface Pro deals. And with various models regularly among the best tablet deals, we thought we’d track down all of today’s best Amazon Fire tablet deals. From holiday discounts to trade-in credit, read onward for all of the best ways to save on a new Amazon Fire tablet.

Amazon Fire HD 8 — $80 with trade-in $100 20% off

If you just need a basic tablet for simple functions such as browsing the internet, doing online shopping, and watching streaming shows, the incredibly affordable Amazon Fire HD 8 may be enough. It’s not going to wow you with its performance, as it’s only equipped with 2GB of RAM with limited storage of 32GB, but it’s got an 8-inch touchscreen with HD resolution and built-in support for Amazon’s Alexa, so if that’s all you need, go for the Amazon Fire HD 8.

Amazon Fire HD 10 — $75 $140 46% off

The Amazon Fire HD 10 offers a large 10.1-inch touchscreen with Full HD resolution, for bright colors and sharp details when watching streaming shows and playing games, and faster performance compared to the previous version of the tablet with its 3GB of RAM. Its 32GB of storage space may be increased by up to 1TB using its microSD card slot, and its durable design and strengthened display makes sure that it won’t easily get damaged by daily wear and tear.

Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus (refurbished) — from $106

Some features that make the Fire HD 10 Plus model stand out over the Amazon Fire HD 10 are wireless charging, 4GB of RAM, and a soft-touch finish that makes it look pretty sleek.
