The newly released Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet is on sale for $49.99. This is the first time that this new model has ever been on sale and it’s a pretty impressive sale because it matches the lowest price that the previous model reached near the end of its availability. The new Fire HD 8 now comes with hands-free Alexa capabilities that can e accessed whether the tablet is plugged in or not and whether the screen is on or off. If you think you’ll be using Alexa a lot, you might want to consider getting the Fire HD 8 + Show Mode Dock bundle for $79.99. That too is the lowest price that the bundle has ever been. The Show Mode Dock essentially turns the Fire HD 8 into an Amazon Echo Show, which is currently on sale for $179.99, while the tablet is charging. It’s a great way to add a lot of additional functionality to the tablet for not much more money. The just like the smaller Fire 7 Tablet, which is on sale for $29.99 today, the Fire HD 8 tablet is available in Black, Blue, Red, and Yellow.
You can also get a 3 pack for $135, knocking another $15 off the price. Obviously not everyone needs 3 of these things. But if you want to pick them up for gifts or, like me, you use them for entertaining the kids on long drives it’s a great deal.
