The great thing about iPads is how versatile they are. You can watch movies and TV shows, play games, read books and magazines, listen to music, browse the web and more, all on a portable device. The thing that's less great about iPads is their price tag, but Amazon has an alternative: its Fire HD tablets. These incredibly popular tablets are also incredibly versatile — and they're nearly 50% off for Black Friday.
The Fire HD 10 tablet — currently just $79, down from $130 — has a 10-inch display, 13 hours of battery life and 3 gigabytes of memory that make it Amazon's fastest Fire tablet yet.

The Fire HD 10 works with hundreds of apps and games. Our testers found that while it doesn't bring anything groundbreakingly new to the tablet world, it's reliable and easy to use.
“I really enjoyed this tablet. It has a simple operating system and is easy to navigate,” one BestReviews tester noted. “I really like the size of the product. It was perfect for reading and great for watching videos. The quality of the video was good.”
Even if the Fire HD 10 isn't the right tablet for you, there's more great news. Amazon has almost its entire tablet lineup on sale ahead of Black Friday, so it's easy to find a great deal on a new device and take entertainment with you wherever you go.
