If you want a mental escape from today’s constant bombardment of alarming news, one method is to lose yourself in a good book — and an excellent way to do that is to read that good book on one of Amazon’s Fire tablets.
Amazon has put many of the latest Fire HD tablets on sale starting today, and if you’re looking for a simple tablet for reading or watching movies, you might want to check them out. For example, the 32GB model of the Fire HD 10 tablet, normally $139.99, is currently on sale for $94.99. Meanwhile, the 64GB model, usually $179.99, can now be had for $104.99, a savings of $75. These models include lockscreen ads; if you’re allergic to advertising, you can grab the 32GB model without ads for $109.99 ($45 off), or the 64GB model for $119.99 ($75 off).
These aren’t the lowest prices we’ve seen on Amazon’s Fire HD tablets — that was in October — but they’re still good savings. Although Fire tablets are not as powerful or high-end as some of the other tablets out there (read: iPads), they remain solid workhorses for consuming content from Amazon, including Kindle books, Audible audiobooks, and movies and shows from Prime and other streaming services.
The HD 10 is equipped with a 10.1-inch HD screen, an octa-core processor, and 3GB of RAM. And if you want something that your children can play with, the Amazon Fire 10 HD Kids, which comes with a child-proof case and an extended two-year warranty, is also on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $139.99, down from $189.99.
