'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

Are you in the market for an affordable tablet? Because Amazon just made their HD 8 tablet even more affordable. Right now, Amazon is offering almost 50% off the Fire HD 8 Plus tablet after Labor Day. Plus, they're also offering stacking savings of an additional 20% with a qualified trade-in.

Also: You can trade in old electronics for Amazon gift cards. Here's how it works
The Fire HD 8 Plus has 32GB of internal storage and 3GB of RAM, which is more than enough space for your favorite apps, digital book library, photos, and videos. It also has integrated front and rear-facing webcams so you can make video calls or take videos for your friends and family. And if you need more storage for your growing pile of eBooks you swear you're going to get around to reading someday, you can expand the internal storage with up to a 1TB microSD card.

It also has Alexa voice controls built-in for hands-free use of your tablet, making launching apps and small tasks like setting reminders a breeze. On a full charge, the Fire HD 8 Plus tablet gives you up to 13 hours of use, which means you can read, scroll TikTok, stream music on Spotify, or play mobile games all day before you need to think about plugging in.
And if you're thinking that this deal is just too good to be true, I do have some unfortunate news: this version is the ad-supported model. Which means that the home screen and lock screens will prominently display ads for Amazon products, shows, and partners. But it's a small price to pay to get a tablet for $52, and take some old tech off your hands.
When will this deal expire?
While Amazon hasn't placed a countdown timer on the listing for the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus tablet, it is labeled as a "limited time deal." This may mean that they have a limited stock that they can offer at this price and with this combination of offers, so you won't want to wait to pounce on this amazing deal.
