New Fire 7 Tablet
This didn’t seem interesting enough for the News forum.
Amazon’s bringing out a new Fire 7 tablet for $59.99; the major improvements are in battery life and USB-C. No change in display. And, the official cover is an insane $28.99, or essentially half the price of the tablet! https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B096WKKK2K/ https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/18/amaz...ate-specs.html Frankly, I don’t get the market for the Fire 7. If you wait on a sale for the Fire HD 8, you get a much better device, for little if any added expenditure. |

BTW, the 8-inch is too big. Sure wish they'd bring back the 6-inch. That was a great tablet. |

With trade-in, I’ve spent less than $30 on my last two Fire HD 8s. Size is personal, but for me the 8” tablet hits a nice spot in terms of portability and functionality, and the specs are so much better than the 7”. |

I agree - the Fire HD 6 was a brilliant device! Only the Fire HDX 8.9 had a better screen IMHO.

I splurged on the HD 8 Plus not that long ago. It replaced my old Fire HD 10. I'm not sure I'd like anything smaller than the 8, to be honest.
