Amazon Fire 10" TSV

Jordan2 — Sun, 01 Dec 2019 22:40:23 GMT

QVC is offering the latest Amazon Fire 10" 32gb for $119.95 they say the lowest price. That isn't entirely true, you can get it for $99.99 at Amazon, QVC is throwing in a voucher for a case from Caseable. I remember getting a case from Caseable, it was a nightmare, I waited forever for it, it was flimsy and I ended up buying a case anyway. I don't need a case, I have two (the size of the new Fire 10" is the same as the 2017 that I have). For $20 more ($139.99) I can get the 64gb from Amazon. I will wait for tomorrow to see if the price goes down.

Best Buy (or some store I saw in an ad) had my old Amazon Fire 7 on black Friday for $29.99. Actually, I miss that one a lot (new one is too heavy) and wish I could have repurchased the Fire 7 when the old one went kaput.

@Jordan2 : The internal memory isn't all that important because the Fire 10 accommodates a micro SD card ( when I get my new Fire 10 I'll buy the biggest chip it will accomodate. The price of chips has come way down and Amazon has many on sale right now!

I'm not a techie I know where the SD card goes, however I don't know how to use it. I also read the memory that is installed on the device itself is better than an SD card.

@AuntG : Amazon had the Fire 7 for $29.95. Bet they sell it for that tomorrow (if given the choice between Q and Amazon at same price, I would always choose Amazon.

@Jordan2

Amazon has a limited deal on this tablet I have not seen a lower price for the Fire 10. Cyper Monday ends today.

This price has been in place about 2 weeks.

I ordered two 7 inch and three 8 inch tablets with cases for Xmas gifts. The 7 inch was 29.00 the 8 inch was 49.00 and the 10 inch was 99.00. I asked my family if they wanted gift cards instead and they say they wanted this and they will be getting the tablets. I ordered the 7 inch for me so I can read my books on the way home from work on the bus. And I just love this little tablet much better then the old 8 inch from 2015 the resolution is just as good as my old Samsung tab which went bad a couple of weeks ago. I am just loving the fire 7 now. The portal is also on sale 49.00 today in case anyone is interested.

You are quite right because it is a nightmare to buy any device on a shopping channel.

Yes, I just got a SD card for my 7 inch tablet. I was wondering about the 10 inch if it will be too heavy too carry around to work for me to read my books on the way home. But, I am interested in a bigger screen. Hope you do a update on how you like it. Have a nice day!

It has nothing to do with better or worse.. it expands it. I brought one for my new fire 7 inch and it went from 16 to 32, which I needed and they are on sale today if you need them ladies.

It weights 17.7 Oz-(500) g .The total weight would depend on the case you select. I haven't opened mine yet tablet yet,

You may want to read reviews and a post a question. Amazon will ask reviewers to comment.

@apple1964 : It's easy to put in microchip but if you are uncomfortable call Amazon and a tech will walk you through it. Otherwise it you have a young adult in your life, I virtually guarantee he/she can put your chip in in well under a minute!

Is anyone taking out a contract for this? I hate to waste my money, I usually don't take out a contract on an item that doesn't cost much.

I see Q is including the same "customized folio cover"as they usually do (seems to create way more issues than dropping price a couple of bucks and not including it!

I remember getting the "free" case when I bought the 2017 tablet. It took forever to get my case, it was flimsy, I ended up buying a better case from Amazon. A lot of people had problems getting their cases, I called QVC customer service to complain. I'm actually surprised that QVC didn't stop doing business with them, they took the heat for the the company's slowness with getting the cases out. I would rather pay $20 less and get my own case.

I purchase FINTIE cases for all my tablets, wether Fires or an Ipad.

They generally run around $10, depending on your needs.

I choose thin magnetic covers usually.

I have the last 10” model, which is not heavy and has a stunning screen.

The newest 10” did tempt me, but since I got my first Ipad last year,

Ive not used any of my K/Fires and actually have given them away.

(except for HDX and an 8”!).

When the Q claims there’s huge savings, it’s only because of the extra apps.

they include....which I’ve never used.

Some of them are supposedly $29/year to use.

(but they are “included free” in the TS) l lol

Internal memory can be important, depending on what your intended use may be.

As with smartphones, some apps cannot be downloaded to a memory card. They can be installed only on device internal memory.

The memory card is very useful for photographs, some book and movie downloads, and various other items, which would tend to fill up the internal memory very quickly.
