Amazon’s Prime Early Access sale may have come and gone, but you can still score a pretty good deal on an Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet if you don’t mind buying refurbished gear.
Right now Amazon is selling refurbished 2021 models for $70 and up. Or you can snag a refurbished 2019 model is just $55. It has the same processor, but less RAM.

Here are some of the day’s best deals.

“… if you don’t mind buying refurbished gear” — if you don’t mind receiving involuntary OTA updates of its OS from Amazon and using its launcher! Based on my recent experience of buying Fire HD 10 tablets, I would advise people not to buy “refurbished” — the 2019 Fire HD 10 came with Fire OS 7.3.2.2 (or was it 7.3.2.3?) which was updated to 7.3.2.4 as soon as I connected to Wi-Fi; the 2021 Fire HD 10 I then ordered had Fire OS 7.3.2.1 (and was therefore fully hackable with Fire Toolkit).
The new Fire 7 and Fire HD 8 with Fire OS 8 are also a lot less hackable than the previous-gen models. So I’m increasingly moving away from recommending people pick these up as hackable devices and instead consider whether they meet your needs with out-of-the-box features.
That means that Google apps and services may or may not be fully functional (if they can be installed at all), and you may be stuck with the default home screen app.
But in addition to using Amazon’s default apps and services to surf the web, read eBooks, and stream media, you can also still install third-party apps from the Amazon Appstore or sideload apps from third-party locations.
That’s not bad for a $55 tablet… as long as you don’t expect it to do things that aren’t officially supported.
