The Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus tablet drops back to its Black Friday price

Tablets don’t need to be complicated or expensive. Right now, you can get the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus Tablet with 32GB for $64.99 (was $119.99). If 32GB storage isn’t enough, you can even get the Fire HD 8 Plus Tablet with 64GB for $94.99 (was $149.99), or expand the storage up to 1TB with a microSD card.

The Amazon Fire HD 8 is a cheap, reliable choice for simple tasks like web browsing, streaming, and reading. It isn’t really something to run the most demanding photo-editing or gaming apps on, but it should be enough for lightweight workloads.

Unfortunately, this model comes with the ad-supported lockscreen without an ad-free option. However, if that all sounds good to you, then I’d recommend getting it now while it’s back to its Black Friday price.

In our Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus review, we praised its affordability, wireless charging, and optional dock that can make it act like a makeshift Echo Show. If you want that dock, you can get it discounted in an Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus bundle for $114.98 (was $169.98).

This 2022 model of the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus is faster and more durable than the last. It’s good for clumsy children and less of a slog than the past model, even if it isn’t as fast as something like the latest iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab. It also lasts up to 13 hours, which can last you up to a day depending on how your spend your time.
