Valentine’s Day is all about flowers, chocolates, and cheap Amazon tablets

Valentine’s Day is a day that celebrates love, togetherness, and, in Amazon’s case, rather sizable discounts to several of its Kindle Fire tablets and Kindle ebook readers.

For those looking for an ebook reader, the base model Kindle can be had for $60, down from its original $80 price tag. Those looking for some light with their reading will find the Kindle Paperwhite for $100, down from $120.

Over on Amazon’s forked Android tablet front, we have the base models of the Fire HD 6 and Fire HD 7, down from their original $100 and $140 price points to $84 and $114, respectively. If you have kids in mind for Valentine’s Day, the Fire HD 6 Kids Edition and its larger counterpart will go for $134 and $164, respectively, down from $150 and $190. Keep in mind that the Fire HD 6 and the Kids Edition differ only in the latter’s access to kid’s content, a bumper case, some user interface changes, and a warranty that covers accidental damage. Finally, for those with a wider budget, the Fire HDX 8.9 will go for $300, a hefty knock-down from its original $480 price tag.

Interestingly enough, the oft-maligned Fire Phone will go on sale for $200. No, the Fire Phone hasn’t done well in the eyes of critics and wallets, but you’ll still be getting a respectably powerful smartphone that includes one year of Amazon Prime for free. If you’re interested in picking one up for your beloved, the sale starts tomorrow, February 11.

Not interested in any of Amazon’s offerings? Fear not, for you can get a litany of discounted jewelry, candy, and grooming products, among others. You can check them out here and see if anything suits your fancy.

Keep in mind each deal has its own expiration date, so if you see something you like, you should probably jump on it.

Who needs the Pixel Tablet? Amazon’s new Fire Max 11 looks great
Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet laying on a desk.

Amazon just announced a new tablet — and it's probably not what you were expecting. Amazon's latest foray into the Android tablet world is the Fire Max 11, and it aims to be far more premium and powerful than any of the company's previous offerings.

The announcement also comes at an interesting time. Google just opened preorders for the Pixel Tablet, the OnePlus Pad recently debuted to fairly good reviews, and rumors of new Samsung tablets are quickly picking up. But even with so much going on in the tablet space, the Fire Max 11 looks like it could make a compelling argument for itself.
The Fire Max 11 has a few surprise features

Best Prime Day Kindle Deals for October 2022
Prime Day 2022 kindle deals graphic.

If you’re in the market for a new eReader, listen up, because the Prime Early Access Sale is almost through, and yet it's your best chance to score some excellent Prime Day Kindle deals. With the Kindle lineup being an Amazon product, we're seeing some steep discounts, but the event also includes some of the best e-book readers that aren't Amazon's. Historically, the best Prime Day deals have always included the latest and greatest tablets, and the same is true here.

This will be a particularly good event to shop if you missed out on the original event earlier this year, or if you’re already looking to land a great holiday gift. Other retailers are joining in the fun too, like Walmart with its October Rollbacks event, which is basically just a Walmart Prime Day sale in disguise.

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.
