Deal: Get $140 off last year’s Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 today only
Amazon’s daily deals always bring great savings, and as we head toward the holiday season they won’t be getting any worse. Today’s deal of the day is pretty big with Amazon knocking $140 off the cost of the previous generation of their own Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 tablet. The tablet originally debuted at $399, so the discount brings it down to a much more easy to swallow $259. We stress that it’s the previous generation model and not the one that debuted for $379 earlier this year, so keep that in mind before buying.
Also worth noting is that this is only for the WiF-only model in 32GB. The 64GB WiFi model is also available on sale for $160 less, bringing it from its usual price of $449 down to $289. It may not feel good to buy a previous generation product when something later and greater is available, but last year’s HDX is still a very capable tablet for this price. It features a quad-core 2.2Ghz chipset, 2GB of RAM and 2560 x 1440 resolution.
Also on board are an 8 megapixel rear camera, a front-facing camera capable of 720p video, up to 12 hours of battery life (or 18 when all you do is read) and more. Might not be a bad option for a loved one if you’re looking for something to stick under the tree next month. Be sure to check it out over at Amazon’s site right now.
