Amazon is offering deep discounts across its Fire tablet lineup --andthe new prices are the lowest I've seen since the holidays. For instance, the latestFire HD 8 tablet is on sale for$60, which is just$5 more than its Black Friday price. But that's still 40% off its price since releasing in September, and on average,$25 lower than the sale price it typically hits on Amazon.
Choosing the best tablet can be tricky. Yes, the top picks include the Apple iPad and iPad Pro, but we also love the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, Microsoft Surface Go 3, and others.

Fire tablets make solid browsing devices, and they're also great for kids. Despite a lack of access to the Google Play Store and official Google apps, and their hardware not exactly being iPad-comparable, they're still incredibly affordable and offer plenty of performance for e-reading, streaming videos, and casual web browsing.
The Fire HD 8 is likely the best Fire tablet for most people. It is durable, has a battery that lasts over 10 hours, charges over UBS-C, and has expandable storage of up to 1TB via microSD. It comes pre-loaded with all Prime Video, Audible, and the Kindle app, too. TheKids and Kids Pro versions of the Fire HD 8 are also on sale for$100, each.
