Looking at the threads on XDA Developers, it looks like the Fire HD 6 & Fire HD 7 have been rooted. However, the HD 8 and HD 10 have not been rooted yet.

So you have this:
  • Fire ($50 tablet): Rootable
  • Fire HD 6: Rootable
  • Fire HD 7: Rootable
  • Fire HD 8: Not currently rootable
  • Fire HD 10: Not currently rootable
Although it's not currently rootable, the current $30 off the HD 10 is very tempting. That makes it $199 for a 10" tablet with an SD card slot! I may still pass though, cause I hate Fire OS with a passion. Amazon seems to have a talent for making Android suck in their fork. This tablet with CyanogenMod on it would be awesome though.
