Inside the offers at the Amazon USA Gold Box you can find for a limited time the new condition Fire HD 8 tablet going for $50 in the entry-point configuration of 16GB on-board storage [that’s small but look at the price ~ and they also have a microSD slot] with Special Offers, with 1.5GB RAM, etc. This is marked as the “All New” model and I’ve fallen behind on which Fire tablet came out when, so Wikipedia is your best Fire-y friend for these matters. Once upon a time I had the original Fire tablet, which, tech-trivia factoid, had the same outer shell as the Blackberry Playbook. Back when Blackberry made …tablets!?!?!?

For the European Union shoppers, Amazon Germany is having an “up to 20% off” sale on a variety of AmazonBasics products ~ use the various sub-category tabs over there to filter by areas/topics of interest…
