Amazon’s big Echo and Ring event is set for today at 9 a.m. PT (noon ET). The company will undoubtedly release a raft of new gadgets and updates to existing models, which might explain why some older gear in other categories are on big discount. These include Amazon’s 2019 Fire HD 10 — the biggest and most powerful tablet that the company offers. The HD 10 normally starts at around $150 but for today only, you can get the HD 10 with 64GB storage for just $96. That’s 49% off the list price and, according to our Amazon price tracker, a full $10 cheaper than the previous low.
The 2021 Fire HD 10 has a few improvements over this first-gen model but they are mostly aesthetic — brighter screen; updated design — and that version with 64GB will run you $180.
The Fire HD 10 comes packed with benefits for Prime subscribers, making it easy for members to stream and download movies, TV shows and games. The Fire tablets don’t use a pure version of Android: Instead, they use Amazon’s Android-based Fire operating system, pulling apps from the Amazon App Store. You can still get apps from Google Play, though you’ll have to install the store yourself, meaning gaming enthusiasts have access to all of their favorite mobile games for an excellent gaming tablet experience.
