Grab an Amazon Fire Tablet for Just $22 During This Christmas Flash Sale

Whether you need one for travel or for everyday use, a tablet or e-reader makes a great alternative to a laptop. Amazon has long been one of the leaders in affordable tablets, and right now Amazon subsidiary Woot is having a sale on several new and refurbished Fire and Kindle tablets, with prices starting at just $22. What's more, if it's your first time using Woot, you can save an extra $10 when you enter the offer code FIRETENOFF at checkout. That means, in theory, you could get a tablet for $12. But don't hesitate too long: the sale ends Dec. 31 and several tablets are already sold out, so it's a "while supplies last" situation.

Currently on offer are several versions of the Fire tablet. You can pick up a new Amazon Fire tablet 7 for $64, a 20% discount. Take off an extra $10 with the offer code, and this 7-inch tablet with 10 hours of battery life and 32GB of storage drops down to $54.

If a Kindle e-reader has been on your list, you'll find a few on discount during this sale. Pick up a refurbished 2021 Kindle Paperwhite with 16GB of storage for $90, a $20 discount on the regular price of $110. Take off another $10, and you'll have it for just $80.

Why this deal matters

Though Amazon does make some of the more affordable tablets on the market, it's always nice to save extra. Many of these are refurbished, but they've been through the Amazon refurbished program. And with prices starting at just $22, you can get one for a kid or a grandparent or to experiment with and use when you're traveling or commuting, without investing a ton of money,

Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?

If you’re ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it’s going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it’s important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.

Guaranteed shipping deadlines at some of these delivery companies arrived as early as Dec. 16, with other companies offering expedited services that may allow you to order as late as Dec. 23 or even Dec. 24. Where delivery is no longer possible, be sure to assess your in-store pickup options or check out these great digital deals for the holidays. 

The only way to get any of these Amazon Fire tablets and Kindle e-readers from Woot in time for Christmas is to select one-day shipping, according to Woot. Doing this today offers an estimated window of Dec. 22 to Dec. 24. However, take note that Amazon Prime members get only free standard shipping, so whether you're a Prime member or not, you'll have to pay for the expedited shipping.
