Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus Tablet, $55 (was $120) at Amazon
This tablet is an upgrade from the typical Fire HD 8. It provides access to all your favorite apps, from YouTube to Spotify, TikTok to Hulu, and everything in between. The Fire HD 8 Plus is great for users who are already in the Amazon sphere (who isn't these days?), letting them take full advantage of their Prime Video, Kindle, and Amazon Music memberships. Like all great Amazon devices, it's fully Alexa compatible and can even sync up beautifully with your smart home.
Even at full price, this is a budget entry tablet, but you wouldn't know it considering the amount of power in this device. It packs a whopping 3 GB of RAM and a processor that's 30% faster than the typical Fire HD 8. That means you can enjoy days and nights of reliable reading, surfing, streaming, and gaming faster than ever before. And because it can run for up to 13 hours and supports wireless charging, it may just become your new favorite device for daily unwinding. Considering its reliability and portability, it's also great for travel.
"This tablet has become my most-used device in the last few months," one shopper said. "I can hardly remember not having it. The ease of downloading the books and navigating my way through them, and even highlighting and note-taking, are much improved over the old Kindle. Plus, with the Fire, I stream movies, attend Zoom meetings, check email, and listen to audiobooks. I doubt I use it to its full capabilities... but I use it daily and wouldn't want to go back. How did I live without this before?"
The Fire HD 8 Plus Tablet retails for $120, but you can shop it at Amazon right now for only $55. Buy it while you still can at this unbelievable price, and see why so many shoppers are making this their new favorite portable device.
