Amazon's Fire HD 8 tablet drops to $60 in early October Prime Day sale

Amazon has kicked off a new Fire tablet sale ahead of its Prime Big Deal Days event later this month. The discounts include the Fire HD 8 down to $60, the Fire HD 8 Plus for $70, the Fire Max 11 for $150, the previous-generation Fire HD 10 for $75 and the Fire 7 for $40, among others. All of those deals either match or come within a few dollars of the lowest prices we've seen, and unlike most of the offers that'll be available during the Big Deal Days sale, they aren't limited to Amazon Prime subscribers. All Fire tablets still come with the usual caveats: They aren't nearly as fast or premium-feeling as a good iPad or Galaxy Tab, their displays aren't as vivid and their app selection is more limited. They lack official access to the Google Play Store, so there's no Google apps like Gmail or YouTube. (It's possible to install the Play Store with a workaround, though that's a bit of a pain.) They also display ads on the lock screen unless you pay an extra fee or use a Kids model.  All that said, they play well with Amazon services like Alexa and Prime Video (natch), they support most of the other major streaming apps and the better models are just quick enough for the basics. Ultimately, though, it's all about price. If you just want a large screen for streaming video, reading ebooks and browsing the web, most Fire slates let you do so for dirt cheap, so they're better buys when they're on sale. Of the models discounted now, the 8-inch Fire HD 8... Continue reading at 'Engadget'
