Searching for a new tablet, but don't want to shell out hundreds on an Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab?
An Amazon Fire tablet could be worth a look – in comparison to more expensive devices on the market, these devices could be an affordable option that still work incredibly well. You definitely don't have to compromise on quality to get a bargain – particularly as Amazon has just launched its Black Friday sale.
Perfect for watching TV shows on popular streaming services, Fire tablets are also great for playing simple mobile games, browsing the internet and reading ebooks.
They're also a practical choice for families, with plenty of kid-friendly versions on the market, coming in a range of sizes and with the built-in Alexa voice assistant.
To help guide your search for a new device, here's our round-up of the best Amazon Fire tablet deals live right now.
Except where specified here or on Amazon's product listings, all Black Friday offers are running until Cyber Monday on December 2.

This tablet was upgraded to the current edition in October 2023, along with the corresponding item in the Kids tablet range.
It features in our roundup of the best iPad alternatives on account of its sturdy build quality and battery life. It even has a 3.5mm headphone jack for those who still use wired headphones.

For a premium experience, the Fire Max 11, launched in June 2023, is a Dolby Atmos-ready device with fingerprint recognition tech, up to 14 hours of battery life, and 8MP cameras to the front and rear for video calls.
At the time of its launch, Amazon said it was close to 50% faster than its next fastest tablet. Like the Fire HD 8 Plus, it's only available in grey.
The Fire Max 11 is on sale this Black Friday for half-price. Right now it'll only cost you £124.99 versus the full RRP of £249.99.
Amazon Fire tablet vs Amazon Fire Kids and Kids Pro tablets
The Kids range of tablets comes with padding to protect the device from all those knocks and falls that are part of family life, no matter how hard you try to stop them. You can get Kids and Kids Pro versions of the Fire HD 10 and Fire 7.
The difference between Kids and Kids Pro is that Kids Pro tablets are geared towards older children, with a different design and access to request apps from a Kids digital store (which parents can approve.)
Get 45% off the Fire HD 10 Kids tablet, now only £109.99. Meanwhile, the Fire 7 Kids tablet is now only £59.99, down from £124.99.
How do I sign up for Amazon Prime?
Signing up for Amazon Prime is the best way to get the most out of Amazon's many shopping events like Prime Day and Black Friday.
The service unlocks exclusive offers and free next-day delivery for anything you buy, so you'll guarantee all the best Prime Day prices plus your purchases being with you as early as possible.
A Prime subscription costs £8.99 a month, or you can pay £95 for the whole year upfront. But there is a 30-day free trial if you're signing up for the first time – you'll need to use a unique email address and credit or debit card to take advantage, and you'll be charged as soon as your month is up unless you, of course, cancel.
With a Prime subscription, you'll also get other perks such as Amazon Music Prime, Prime Video and Prime Gaming, as well as premium delivery options.
