No way! The Amazon Fire HD 8 just scored a HUGE 54% discount ahead of October’s Prime Day sale
Amazon tablet deals are here ahead of the retailer’s next installment of Prime Day on October 8. Among these early offers is a discount that is dropping sharply 54% discount on the Amazon Fire HD 8 (2022) tabletbringing an already affordable device to less than $60 – and the lowest price ever.
The Fire HD 8 isn’t really anything special in terms of performance, but at this price it could be a good option for kids or casual users who just want a basic tablet. It’s worth noting that this version comes with lockscreen ads, but it also includes 64GB of storage or 1TB of expandable storage via a microSD slot.
Even if the Fire HD 8 isn’t quite what you’re looking for, Amazon’s early deals include a handful of offers for tablets, phones and other devices. Once again, Amazon is also holding its next Big Deal Days sale on October 8 and 9, which will no doubt offer plenty of great tech discounts for Prime members. Are you not yet connected?

Recommended if: you are a regular user looking for a cheap tablet or couch companion; you have other Amazon services that you use regularly; you need a tablet that is small and light.
Skip this deal if: you are looking for a powerful tablet; you want easy access to more than just what the Amazon App Store has to offer; you need something with fast charging.
The Amazon Fire HD 8’s affordability is probably its biggest strength, making it perhaps even the best Amazon tablet out there. While the performance is quite basic, it also boasts a 13-hour battery life and easy access to Alexa and the Amazon ecosystem. It’s a great option for kids or those who just need a different device, with 2 MP cameras, a USB-C port and easy-to-set parental controls.
The downsides of this cheap Amazon tablet are that it only has 2GB of RAM, so performance isn’t really anything special, and it doesn’t have fast charging despite having a USB-C port. Still, you’re unlikely to find something this good at such a low price, and it’s hard to say how long this deal will last.
