The Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus tablet, with apps on the screen.

Even with discounts, tablet deals can get pretty expensive. If you need a new tablet but you're on a tight budget, you should take a look at this offer from Amazon's Woot for the 2021 release of the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus. The 32GB model is already relatively affordable at its original price of $150, but a 53% discount brings it down to a very cheap $70. The $80 in savings will only be available for a limited time, which will probably be shorter as we expect a lot of demand for this device. If you don't want to miss out, buy this tablet now.
