The Fire HD 2nd Gen is already sold out. All three sizes of the Fire HDX (16-32-64GB) are still available.

Thank you.

It seems like a better device.

YW; hardware wise, the HDX is definitely better than the HD. But then, it all depends on what the device is being used for and who's using it.

The HDX 7 also uses Blue LEDs which shows a ugly blue light bleed around the edges. I'd avoid the headache literally. I went through 3 of them and I am so happy to get the HD even if it's less ppi I had no problems reading on my MIL's

While I love my Nexus 7 I have a ton of apps on Amazon app store that are Kindle Fire only. I also miss not being able to play my music by genre and last I miss immersion reading.

Well you can't go wrong @ $119. I got a second Fire HD (2012) and I was gonna root it, but decided not to. It's good to have a stock Fire in the house.

I use my Fire HD 7.1 for streaming content (videos, music, web) outside the home (family, friends, work). That's because it lives in an OtterBox case. Otherwise, my Nexus 7.2 is my go to device.

It's the 16GB one too so $50 off is awesome! It will be here tomorrow along with the BISSELL Lift-Off Floors & More Pet I ordered after seeing my MIL's and now I look it's on sale for $10 less than I paid for it.

So my holiday shopping wasn't as big last year but I got some nice things.

I plan to use it for media too. My wall garden stuff of course I think it will be nicer to watch movies on it. I like the wide bezel. My N7 has hardly any to hold on to.

With a few exceptions, Cyber Monday (and Week) is a bust - as usual.

Any way, that's pretty much a wrap for this thread. Feel free to continue posting and to check back for updated offers. I'll try and keep the categories updated with current specials. Till next year...

And now for something completely different:

Thanks for all the info. I have this thread to thank for my new Nexus 7 when I wasn't even planning on buying a tablet

Thanks very much for all your hard work, tubemonkey! Your efforts have been greatly appreciated, even though I didn't buy any tech (or other) toys.
