Amazon’s Fire tablets are affordable alternatives to Apple’s best iPads, and they’re now even cheaper because the retailer launched a fire sale (pun intended) involving various models of the mobile device. These are some of the lowest-priced tablet deals that you can shop right now, and it’s highly recommended that you jump straight to checkout because — as with all Amazon Fire Tablet deals — we’re not sure when their prices will return to normal.

When comparing the Amazon Fire HD 10 and Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus, you won’t see a difference right away. The two tablets look identical, but that’s because most of the improvements are under the hood. The Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus features 4GB of RAM and wireless charging support, and if you turn it around, you’ll notice a more premium soft-touch finish at the back of the tablet. With everything else staying the same, the extra cost for the tablet is worth it.
