Amazon's Fire HD 10 tablet is already 50% off for Prime Day — and it's selling like hotcakes

A stellar tablet is a must for getting entertained on the fly — and, well, fighting boredom generally. You’ll have access to TV shows, movies, games, books, magazines, songs and more in a portable, lightweight device, and today is a great chance to get yourself one at an unbeatable price.

Amazon has knocked 50 percent off the incredibly popular Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet, which is just $75, down from $150 — an incredible discount prior to Amazon's Early Access sale next week. And it's not the only model that's discounted — you can save up to 50% on other popular models as well.

The compact tablet has a brilliant 10-inch HD display at 1080p and 12 hours of battery life so it won’t conk out mid-show. Its lightning-fast Octa-core processor paired with 2GB of memory makes it the speediest of all Amazon Fire tablets.

"I'm in love! I wanted something that I could use in quiet moments when I didn't want my full laptop," a five-star fan said. "I have used it in the evening and mornings when I want to check my email or finish writing a proposal. It's compact enough that I can type with one hand and the voice controls are amazing."

This trusty tablet seamlessly works with Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Music, as well as hundreds of apps, games, and more. Just imagine watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Fleabag or playing Candy Crush wherever you want — whether that’s outside on a lounge chair or snuggled up in bed.

You can also choose from a range of colors, including black, olive and lavender.

"This tablet is the bomb. I mean just a bad 'mamajama,'" a happy customer said. "The 10.1 HD fire tablet makes the iPad look like an Atari 2600. Super fast, awesome picture, great speakers, and the battery life lasted longer than both my marriages combined. Amazon did it right when they named this bad boy 'Fire!'"

You can also pick up a Fire HD tablet bundle with a Bluetooth keyboard and a 12-month subscription to Microsoft 365 Personal, which includes Outlook, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, for 5 devices for as little as $140.
