Deal: Amazon discounts Fire Kids tablets — save 30% today only

Even though we’re on the verge of Black Friday (November 24), Amazon is still keen to pick up some sales before the big event. For today only, the website has discounted its Fire Kids tablets, knocking 30% off the regular prices.

The Fire Kids tablets come with a “kid-proof” case to guard them against drops and spills, long-lasting battery life, and parental controls, making them ideal for young children. You can get them in 7-inch or 8-inch versions, with 16 GB or 32 GB of respective internal storage space, and in three colors: blue, pink, or yellow. check them out at the links below.

• Buy Now: Fire HD 8 Kids Edition, 8-inch display, 32 GB storage — $89.99 (was $129.99)
• Buy Now: Fire 7 Kids Edition Tablet, 7-inch display, 16 GB — $69.99 (was $99.99)

Both units include a two-year worry-free guarantee (for any damage the devices might incur) and a year of Amazon’s FreeTime Unlimited service, which offers access to thousands of apps, games, videos, books, and educational resources from studios like PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, Disney etc. As far as Android tablets for kids go, these are probably the best you’ll find.

In addition to the offers above, Amazon has also outlined some of the upcoming deals we can expect to see in the run-up to Black Friday, including:

• November 19, Kindle Paperwhite – $89.99 ($30-off)
