I bet money on Amazon is clearancing them out. Too many returns due to blue light bleed.

Yeah, I agree with Blossom. I had one for a few days before returning it for the HDX 8.9. The blue LEDs were noticeable, but didn't bother me when reading. Perhaps I was just in awe of the 323 PPI.
I researched the ASUS 7 ME572 and went to Best Buy for a hands on. It's really nice spec wise and 1920 x 1200 looks great. For $179 I would get it over the Fire HDX, unless you really want to download Prime videos.
I was tempted to get the ASUS but decided 7 inches is too small, it's why I returned the HDX (my Sony phone is 6.4"). Discovered the 8" Lenovo Tab S8 next to it (researched it online while there), and went home with that. It was mistakenly still marked down to $159 from $199, I guess from Black Friday. I made them honor the price. If someone's in the market for an 8" tablet look at the Lenovo. Suprisingly great hardware.
