A few years ago I posted a tips and tricks guide for Fire HD and HDX tablets, but a lot has changed since then, especially since Amazon upgraded to Fire OS 5, so I’ve gone through and updated the list to apply to the new 7th generation Fire HD 8 and 7-inch Fire tablets for […]

Woot has some previous generation Kindles and Fire tablets on sale again. Like usual they’re labeled as refurbished, not new.
