QVC has the 7-inch Fire tablet on sale today for $40, which includes a voucher for a customized case. You can be billed in five monthly installments. With Amazon's BF price on this tablet being $30, in effect the additional $10 at QVC is getting you the customized case. Free S&H, returns through January 31, 2018.

QVC also has the Echo Show today for $180, with some extras, billed in six installments. I believe $180 is the lowest Black Friday price elsewhere as well. Free S&H, returns through January 31, 2018.

If you're new to QVC, you can get $5 off your first order.

I looked at the 8-inch and 10-inch at Staples today. It was almost impossible to compare screen resolution because the store had the 10-inch set on a demo mode that just kept rolling along demo-ing, so I couldn't view the same image or video on each device at the same time. So I just don't know. However, I decided that the 10-inch was too heavy and too big to hold comfortably. Unless I talk myself out of it again, I'll go with the 8-inch--it seems like enough of an upgrade, and the price is good.
Thanks, Catlady!

The Fire HD 8 is a great size for reading. Screen resolution is better than the 7-inch, you'll appreciate the longer battery life, and the dual speakers sound very good.

I'm quite happy with this case for mine: Poetic Slimline Premium Fabric Slim-Fit Lightweight Trifold Cover with Auto Sleep/Wake Amazon Fire HD 8 2017. It's only $6.95 right now, which is a great price (I paid more)! It does tend to fray around the edges, but that hasn't been a big issue for me.

Thanks for the recommendation for a case. That is indeed a great price, but I'd want a case with a hand strap, as I have for my 7-inch.

MetroPCS has a deal for a free year of Amazon Prime and a free Samsung J7 prime phone when you port in a line from another carrier and sign up for the $50 unlimited data plan.
https://www.metropcs.com/amazonprimeonus.html

MetroPCS is a prepaid brand of T-mobile for those not familiar with them.

If you don't want to stay with them for phone service, there's no penalty to drop the service after redeeming the Amazon Prime offer and keeping the phone as a mini tablet.

Slight correction. . 49.99 basic kindle, 89.99 kindle paperwhite.


I actually was going to get the paperwhite however I noticed the basic kindle says "Audible available in coming months" whereas the paperwhite lacks this feature.

The audible thing is probably because the 8th gen kindle (which is the current basic kindle) has bluetooth hardware but the 7th gen Kindle Paperwhite (the current PW3) doesn't.

$99.99 Fire HD 10

The Fire HD 10 tablet has been on sale for $99.99 (32 GB version with special offers) since last night. The regular price is $149.99. This tablet has a 1080p full-HD IPS display (1920 x 1200, 224 ppi) and hands-free Alexa. Here's a helpful review video:



Do the Amazon cases ever go on sale for their Fire tablets? I'd really like to get one for the 10", but I don't want to pay $40!

I have been waiting for the Fire HD10 to go on sale for $100, and it did! I saw this last night on Best Buy where Best Buy immediately matches Amazon's sales and removes them the instant the Amazon sale ends. My question is will Amazon continue this sale all week til the Monday after Thanksgiving which, if I understand it correctly, is when the Black Friday sales end? (Or at least til Black Friday if the Black Friday sales don't actually go til Monday.) Or might it end without warning at any time?

With respect to the Basic Kindle ($50 now) will it just be Audible e-books that will be enabled in coming months or will it be able to play oridinary mp3 podcasts or any mp3?

Thanks for all this great timely information.

As far as I know, Amazon hasn't announced when the $99.99 Fire HD10 offer will end.

On the first page of this thread here, it states the Fire HD10 is listed at $99.99 in Black Friday ads for Meijer, Staples, and Target, so I'm guessing Amazon will have it at that price then, too.

Page 10 of the Office Depot ad has $15 off the purchase of $300 in Visa gift cards. I'm on my phone so the details are too small to see.
