17 best Amazon tablet deals for Christmas — save big on iPads, Kindles, Fires and more

The Amazon Kindle is one of the smallest and most lightweight e-readers around. With a crisp display and 6-week battery life, this is the Kindle to buy for shoppers on a budget. Amazon is even throwing in three months of Kindle Unlimited. We wish this Kindle was waterproof, though, but you can't beat that low price.

Pick up the Kindle Kids 16GB for under $100 thanks to this discount. This latest edition comes with a fun, decorated cover, ad-free books, a glare-free display and faster page turning.

The Kindle Paperwhite 2024 is our choice for the best Kindle you can buy. It delivers 16GB storage (around 15,000 books), 12 weeks of battery life, an IPX8 waterproof rating (meaning it'll survive being dropped in the bath), and a fantastic anti-glare screen.

This is the Kids edition of our favorite Kindle. This excellent device has a 7-inch glare free device with an adjustable backlight, for the most comfortable reading experience possible. You also get a 6 month subscription to Amazon Kids Plus, providing access to a huge library of kid-friendly books, and a worry-free guarantee that means Amazon will replace it if it breaks. It’s even waterproof, so no need to worry if it makes a splash.

The Kindle Colorsoft features all the benefits of a Kindle, only in glorious color. If you really want to get the most out of your comics, book covers and illustrations, this is the Kindle you've been waiting for. While it's decidedly expensive, it more than delivers on its premise. And now that it's on sale for this price, it's a no-brainer.

The Kindle Kids Colorsoft offers the same great Kindle reading experience, except it's optimized for reading in color. Book covers, comics and graphic novels spring to life on the display. This model comes comes with a 12-month subscription to Amazon Kids Plus, and a 2-year "worry-free guarantee."

Amazon's previous-gen Kindle Scribe comes with a Premium Pen that lets you annotate, write notes and draw on your e-books. You can also create digital notebooks and convert your handwritten notes into text. In our Kindle Scribe (2024) review, we loved this device’s large 10.2-inch 300 ppi display and found the stylus comfortable to use. Just note that the newer Kindle Scribe (2025) is now available.

The 2025 iPad features a larger 11-inch (2360 x 1640) screen, A16 CPU, 12MP rear/front cameras, USB-C connectivity, and Magic Keyboard Folio ($249) support. The base model features 128GB of storage, which doubles the capacity of its predecessor. It's available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB capacities.

The iPad mini is getting a discount, and any price cut to this small tablet is welcome. We're big fans of its incredibly portable design and long battery life (it lasted 10 hours in our battery life tests). It comes with speedy performance thanks to Apple's A17 Pro chip, and has a gorgeous 8.3-inch (2,266 x 1,488) Liquid Retina display. You also get 12MP cameras on the front and back and Wi-Fi 6E support. In our iPad mini 7 review, we said it delivers the full iPad experience in a tiny size.

The 2025 iPad Air packs Apple's M3 processor, an 11-inch LED (2360 x 1640) display, 128GB of storage, a 12MP rear camera and a new landscape-oriented 12MP front camera. You also get faster WiFi 6E support. In our iPad Air 2025 review, we said it brings impressive performance and power efficiency to a premium, sleek package.

This larger-size iPad Air sports the same M3 processor, but it's coupled with a 13-inch LED (2732 x 2048) display. You also get 128GB of storage, a 12MP rear camera, WiFi 6E support and a new landscape-oriented 12MP front camera. In our iPad Air 2024 review, we said it brings impressive performance and power efficiency to a premium, sleek package.

This isn't a huge discount, but it's amazing you can get one at all given the iPad Pro M5 just came out last month and is Apple's fasted tablet yet. Not only does this iPad have Apple's fastest chip inside and 256GB of storage, it sports a lovely 11-inch Ultra Retina XDR OLED Display that makes everything you do on it look amazing. Check out our recent iPad Pro M5 review to see it in action!

At 5.1mm thick, this is one of the thinnest iPads Apple has ever made. It packs Apple's new M4 processor, a 13-inch Ultra Retina XDR display, and a 12MP camera.

The Fire HD 8 Kids Pro is also heavily discounted to $64 for slightly older kids who want a bit more from their tablet. With an all-time low price, this deal is not to be missed for the tablet with a larger screen and more power than the Fire 7.

The Fire HD 8 is where Amazon's tablet offerings get a little more powerful. I've used this device to read comics, and it works perfectly. Our Fire HD 8 review called it a "budget-friendly tablet that hits the sweet spot between price and performance," and I couldn't agree more. At $64, that price part of the statement is even more accurate.

Looking for an affordable, lightweight Android tablet that doesn't skimp on screen size? Samsung's Galaxy Tab S6 Lite certainly fits the bill. The Tab S6 Lite boasts a crisp 10.4-inch display and comes with an S Pen in the box, making it ideal for those who want to sketch or take notes on the go.

It's only recently released, but the fantastic Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE is already 35% off! Not a bad price for a mid-range tablet that comes with an S Pen stylus, a splendid (and larger) 13.1-inch LCD panel and a 15-hour battery life. This is great value for money!
