The best early Amazon Fire Tablet deals
Everyone knows that Amazon loves to discount its own devices during its Prime Day events. So far, though, the early Prime Day tablet deals are a little thin on the ground, at least where Amazon’s Fire Tablet line is concerned. There’s one excellent standout right now, and it’s the Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet at 50% off, which is a solid drop on a family-friendly pick anyone could use.
Beyond that, most of what we’re seeing on Fire tablets is bundle-based rather than straight markdowns, so the value you’ll get per bundle depends on whether you actually want the extras. But you can expect the selection to widen dramatically as we get closer to the main event.
Mashable’s team of shopping experts is tracking the best early Prime Day Fire tablet deals as they land. We’ll likely see even more pop up in the next week or so, so keep an eye out for additional savings.

This model may be aimed toward kids, but the entire family can use it — and no one would blame you at this price. This rugged tablet comes in three fun colors and features a year of Amazon Kids+ so you can give your little ones plenty of kid-friendly content to peruse. It also has on-board parental controls with the Parent Dashboard, so you can filter out content based on your kids’ ages, set time limits, and give access to other apps to keep an eye on what your tots are up to. It also features a 10-hour battery so you don’t have to keep recharging it. And if you want to use it yourself, it’s still a great casual tablet that can do all you want it to do.
