In my experience, it is usually best to wait for the specific bundle deals during these sales. They often include a cover or a faster charger for almost no extra cost. I have tested many tablets over the years, and the official trade-in program is the most reliable way to lower the price without dealing with the risks of private sellers.

• Check the warehouse section for Like New units to get deeper discounts.
• Look at the Amazon Fire HD 10 32GB 2023 or Amazon Fire HD 8 64GB 2022 for the most consistent performance per dollar. Honestly, people usually forget about the cases and then end up with a cracked screen in a month. It actually reminds me of this old desktop monitor I used to have that would flicker every time the fridge kicked on in the other room. I spent weeks trying to ground the cables before realizing the power strip was just twenty years old and failing. Anyway, focus on those bundles if you want the best reliability for your money.

Regarding what #3 said about "In my experience, it is usually best to..." - i definitely agree on the trade-in part. I did it last year with a crusty old tablet I had in a drawer and the reliability of the process was the best part. No flakes from Facebook Marketplace or anything like that. A few things I noticed while doing my upgrade:

• The 20 percent discount usually applies immediately if your account is in good standing.
• You gotta be honest about the screen condition or they wont give you the full value.
• Shipping the old one back is free which is a nice touch. I ended up grabbing the Samsung EVO Select 256GB microSDXC during the same sale because the base storage on these things is always tiny. It has been super solid for me. Honestly, sticking with the official trade-in path is way less stress even if you might get five bucks more selling it yourself somewhere else. It just works and that is what matters to me.
