Are you in the market for an affordable tablet? Because Amazon just made their HD 8 tablet even more affordable. Right now, Amazon is offering almost 50% off the Fire HD 8 Plus tablet after Labor Day. Plus, they’re also offering stacking savings of an additional 20% with a qualified trade-in.

The Fire HD 8 Plus has 32GB of internal storage and 3GB of RAM, which is more than enough space for your favorite apps, digital book library, photos, and videos. It also has integrated front and rear-facing webcams so you can make video calls or take videos for your friends and family. And if you need more storage for your growing pile of eBooks you swear you’re going to get around to reading someday, you can expand the internal storage with up to a 1TB microSD card.

It also has Alexa voice controls built-in for hands-free use of your tablet, making launching apps and small tasks like setting reminders a breeze. On a full charge, the Fire HD 8 Plus tablet gives you up to 13 hours of use, which means you can read, scroll TikTok, stream music on Spotify, or play mobile games all day before you need to think about plugging in.
And if you’re thinking that this deal is just too good to be true, I do have some unfortunate news: this version is the ad-supported model. Which means that the home screen and lock screens will prominently display ads for Amazon products, shows, and partners. But it’s a small price to pay to get a tablet for $52, and take some old tech off your hands.
While Amazon hasn’t placed a countdown timer on the listing for the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus tablet, it is labeled as a “limited time deal.” This may mean that they have a limited stock that they can offer at this price and with this combination of offers, so you won’t want to wait to pounce on this amazing deal.
