If you are looking for an affordable tablet for a child, today (12/10/12) is a great day to save on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" model. The larger Kindle for a child is a great way to improve visual display and motor skill development with a tablet. While the 7" is pretty good, that extra little bit of display space is really attractive. I struggle with challenges on my small touchscreen device, and I really appreciate the size of the larger tablets. Affordability, of course, is always a concern when the budget is tight.
The 8.9" Kindle Fire tablet normally costs $299. With this offer, you can use the code FIREHD89 to save $50 (one per customer). It's a one day deal while supplies last. I do recommend that if the tablet is for a child, a protection plan is a smart investment. Kids can be a little bit rough on tech devices, and this is one you will want to use for years.
