Last month, when Amazon rolled out the 2020 editions of its Fire HD 8 tablet, I recommended waiting. Due to the fact that Amazon gear goes on sale like clockwork, so it was just a matter of time till the first Fire HD 8 discount.
Its time. Today only (but absolutely not today only, if you capture my drift), the Amazon Fire HD 8 (32GB) is $59.99, a cost savings of $30. You can likewise get the Fire HD 8 Plus (32GB) for $79.99, likewise a cost savings of $30.

Feel like 32GB isnt adequate storage? To my thinking theres no point in paying additional up front for the 64GB designs, due to the fact that you can easily, and cheaply, include more, just by popping in a microSD card..
Although this sale expires at the end of the day, I can 99.9% guarantee it will be repeated at some time. (Definitely on Prime Day, however very potentially before.) My take: If you want a smallish tablet for books, motion pictures, video games and the like, the new Fire HD 8 for $60 is a stupendous deal.
