Fire tablet, Last Christmas I bought a 7"Fire Tablet for my daughter and she loves it. When I saw Amazon was putting out a newer version of the 7 I waited on buying it as I heard of a price drop. I’ll tell you for 35 bucks it is a steal of a deal! I bought one so I can interface with Amazon Echo that I own. Instead of using the daughters which always seems to be in her hands I bought my own. 35 for the tablet and another 13 for a case and a one dollar shield from the dollar store and I am only out 49 bucks. I can add memory later with a SD card but I am not a gamer so there may not be a need as it comes with 8 gigs which 5 are available. It does not have some of the bells and whistles like older fire 7 like stereo speakers, more memory and a sleep feature that wakes when you open the case but it also was a 100.00 cheaper.

If you are looking for something for the kids or yourself to check mail, watch TV and movies and access music it is worth the money. Did I mention books? And pages and pages of free APS. I am a prime member so this goes hand in hand with a lot of things offered.

My wife bought one about two months ago for $49 and loves it!!

Where did you get one for $35.00?

Amazon was having an online sale on them for $35. Not sure if the sale is still going though.

They are listed at $49.99 on Amazon right now.  However, if you want to buy one as a Christmas gift they are out of stock until December 27th.

They are out of stock until December 27.  I just looked.  One downside is that they are only 8GB so you can't store much on the device, but unlimited cloud is included.  Just not too handy on an airplane or deer stand or ice shack.

storage is not a problem you can add up to a 128 gig SD card as posted earlier

How dumb. I thought it would be a nice gift for my wife.

[nofishfisherman]

Yeah I had thoughts of it as a gift for my sister.  I guess when they started advertising a 6 pack of Fire tablets for $250 they should have realized they'd burn through a bunch of them in a hurry. 

[Big Dave2]

Does anyone have another recommendation for a lower cost tablet? I don't want to spend a lot because it will be for my wife and she is not that big on technology. She could also probably benefit from a little larger screen due to her eyesight. 

Any of these worth buying?: http://bit.ly/1N9Fghp

I have a galaxy  tab s with added sd card.   It is not as useful as you might think, unless amazon version of android has improved the handling.   For example, few apps can be installed on SD card.  It is hard to get apps to use SD card or to find stuff on SD card.  It is better than nothing, for sure, but not like having more native storage. 

But it is a good thing you pointed that out, since I hadn't taken that in, reading the description.
