Amazon knocks up to 50 percent off Fire tablets

Amazon’s Fire tablets make good secondary devices for those who aren’t looking to drop hundreds of dollars on a new gadget. They also make solid kids tablets, too, especially if you get one of Amazon’s kid-specific variants. Fire tablets are affordable to begin with, but now Amazon’s discounted many of them by up to 50 percent. The Fire HD 8 is half off and down to $45, while the Fire 7 slab is 30 percent off and down to only $35. Plus, the entire Fire Kids Pro lineup is on sale, so you can grab one of those for as low as $50.

Both the Fire 7 Kids Pro and the Fire HD 8 Kids Pro are half off right now, down to $50 and $70, respectively, while the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro is 30 percent less than usual and down to $140.
