Whether you're looking for a tablet for kids or yourself, Amazon's deeply discounting its Fire tablet lineup ahead of the Amazon Big Spring Sale.

The least expensive of the bunch is the Amazon Fire 7, now $44 (down from $59). This small 7-inch tablet came out in 2022, but if you're looking for a highly portable tablet for watching videos and using basic apps, it's a perfect budget option.

The baseline 32GB Amazon Fire HD 10 is now $95, a 32% drop from its regular $139 price. That's only $11 more than this model's lowest price ever. The Fire HD 10 works well for entertainment, accessing Amazon content and services, checking email and socials, and playing games.

My favorite is the Amazon Fire Max 11 Tablet, which once again costs $184 (a 20% savings over the usual $229 price). I like this tablet because it has a competitive and sleek style with an aluminum casing that compares favorably with other tablets.

It's also the best Amazon tablet for productivity and multitasking, thanks to its optional keyboard case (buy the keyboard and case as a bundle with the tablet for $265, a 17% savings). Plus, it's one of the least expensive tablets you can buy with stylus support (stylus available separately for $34.)

Meanwhile, if you have a child in your life, two great kid-friendly tablet options are on sale. Both models carry child-friendly features, including a rugged bumper case, a 2-year replacement guarantee, and a free year of the Amazon Kids+ service (new subscribers only). This service provides content appropriate for children based on their age. The Amazon Fire 7 Kids drops to $69 (usually $109) and has a design that targets children from 3 to 7. The Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro is now $13 (down from $189) and caters to children from 6 to 12.

This short-term sale delivers great prices on Amazon's Fire tablets, with something for everyone at a terrific price. If a Fire tablet isn't for you, be sure to check the rest of the early Amazon Big Spring Sale, offers include discounts on iPads, laptops, and more.
