Amazon Fire 7" tablet for $39.99 (limited time); just $5 more than Black Friday price

Through February 13, 2016, you can snag the Amazon 7" 8GB Fire with WiFi for $39.99 with free shipping.  This price is just $5.00 more than the Black Friday deal on this popular device, which got 4.2 out of 5 stars over 27, 941 customer reviews and is an Amazon #1 Best Seller. 

There have been $50-and-less tablets out there since the iPad's invention, but let's face it: they were crummy, slow, cheap, do-nothing tablets. You got what you paid for.  But I've got the Amazon Fire and I use it for traveling and let me reassure you that you get much more than you pay for.  My husband and I each own iPads but I hate the idea of lugging around a $500 tablet on a plane across the country.  I can't seem to find a single thing that our iPad does that the Fire doesn't do, and if you drop it, spill coffee on it, or it gets stolen or lost, the financial loss is not crushing.  You can work on it and you can also watch movies, take pictures, play games, Skype, get to the Internet, check your email, log into social sites, listen to music, read e-books, etc. on the Fire. It's a full service tablet.

It's got 8 GB of storage but (unlike most other tablets) you can expand the storage by adding a 16 or 32 memory card, as needed, which is a brilliant feature (why can't I do that on my iPad?).

Frankly, I think this is a great tablet deal at $49.99, but at $39.99, it's killer.
