Tablet and e-reader deals
A tablet or a Kindle is a big purchase, and Amazon usually discounts them in the weeks before Black Friday. These are the device listings we have right now. The iPad is a 128GB mini with the A17 Pro. A 2026 Surface Pro whose title calls it a 13-inch 2-in-1, with a Snapdragon X2 Elite, an OLED touchscreen, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. An Amazon Fire HD 10 with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. A Lenovo ThinkTab X11 and a TCL TAB A1 Plus. For reading, a Kindle 16GB e-reader and a Kindle Colorsoft 16GB essentials bundle. Cases, keyboards, chargers, Kindle books, and used units are left off. There is no Galaxy Tab sold by Amazon in this set.
Quick picks
What to look for
- The iPad mini listing is 128GB with an A17 Pro. Storage is fixed, so the capacity in the title is the capacity you get.
- The Fire HD 10 listing is the Amazon tablet here: 4GB of RAM, 32GB, black. That is much less storage than the iPad mini.
- The ThinkTab X11 listing is a 10.9-inch 2.5K rugged tablet with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB. The TCL TAB A1 Plus listing is a 12.2-inch 2.4K 120Hz Android tablet, 6GB plus 128GB.
- The Surface Pro listing is a Windows machine, and the title calls it a 2-in-1 laptop. It names a 13-inch OLED touchscreen, Snapdragon X2 Elite, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and Windows 11.
- The Kindle 16GB listing is the compact e-reader, in black or matcha. The Colorsoft listing is a 16GB essentials bundle, and the title includes a fabric cover and a power adapter. That one is the bundle, not the reader by itself.
- A case, a keyboard, a charger, or a Kindle book is not the device. Used and resale listings are left off.
