It's a good day to be a book lover Right now, on Prime Day, Amazon's e-readers (and tablets) are a bargain But that's not all Fire HD tablets of all sizes are also on sale, making it a great time to buy virtually any new Amazon device [For example, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is $7999 That's $50 off the regular price of $129, the lowest price we've seen on this Kindle In other words, not only is it cheaper than the regular Kindle, but the Kindle Kids Edition is also a better value than the basic Kindle!
Looking for an Amazon tablet instead? The excellent Fire HD 10 is also discounted to $79 There are so many things you can do with this little device, including Netflix, Spotify, Audible, and Zoom
For casual TV watching and music listening, the Fire HD 8's screen and speakers prove to be a solid device that can do all the basics It also has a USB-C port, so it can be charged with the same cable as a new laptop Still, given the HD 8's spectacular battery life, you won't need to refuel often This is also true of the Fire HD 10, which has a larger screen (and similar specs)
