Amazon’s celebrated tablet family is an affordable way to stream. Unlike most tablets, you won’t have to mortgage the house just to get one.

Despite being a cheaper alternative to most tablets on the market, you don’t have to cut corners on performance. There’s a model to suit every multimedia need, from YouTube surfing to magazine reading, and yes, even gaming. The amount of savings just depends on how much (and how often) you’re using it.

Enjoy access to millions of TV shows, songs, Kindle eBooks, apps and games including Netflix, Facebook, HBO, Spotify, and countless others. You can even download movies to watch later when you’re away from a Wi-Fi signal.
