Amazon's uber-affordable Fire tablets are even more inexpensive today thanks to a sale that's reaching nearly every model from the Amazon Fire 7 to the Fire HD 10 tablet. There are discounts on the Kids Editions as well, and with prices up to $50 off for a limited time, this isn't a sale you want to miss. Options start at just $39.99 and free shipping is included whether you're a Prime member or not.

The Fire 7 Tablet is down to just $39.99 today, saving you $10 off its usual price. Meanwhile, the Fire HD 8 is $20 off at $59.99. The largest Fire HD 10 is also on sale with a solid $40 savings. Most of these deals include a tablet with Special Offers, which are tastefully designed and unobtrusive, though if you'd prefer the tablet without the Special Offers, you can choose those options with the same discount at Amazon.

The Fire 7 tablet was just updated last year, so you're getting Amazon's latest features with this deal. The biggest changes include a bump in default storage from 8GB to 16GB, a much faster processor, and built-in Amazon Alexa capabilities so you can control your smart home from your new device. There are also some nice new color options.

If you feel 16GB or 32GB is not enough space for you, you can upgrade your storage with a microSD card. The Fire 7 tablet now supports capacities up to 512GB so you'll have plenty of room for games, movies, music, and more.

The Fire HD 8 features up to 10 hours of mixed-use battery life, an 8-inch HD display, a quad-core processor, and — newly — hands-free access to Alexa. That's something that the Fire HD 10 tablet has had for a while, but this is a first for the Fire HD 8. You can upgrade the storage, too, up to 400GB depending on what microSD card you go with.

In addition, the tablet now has Show Mode. This gives your tablet some of the same features that the Echo Show has. You can use your voice to ask Alexa to show you the news or weather, play a song, call a family member, control your smart thermostat, and more. If Show Mode sounds like something you'll use frequently, you can pick up the Show Mode Charging Dock separately.

The Fire HD 10 gets high marks for its low price, high-definition screen, storage expandability, and multi-user support. With hands-free Alexa, it can serve as a great home automation hub too. It takes everything that's great about the HD 8 and upscales it — it has better specs, a larger display, louder speakers, and the same Fire OS experience. Today's price drop to $110 drops the tablet to within $10 of its Black Friday all-time low price.
