William, my sons always told me to get the Fire without special offers, so I
did. Had I known they were as unobtrusive as you indicate, I would have save
the $15 on my $64 purchase of a Fire HD8.
I thought it was going to be like my brother's subcarrier phone plan, where one
cannot access anything without a very intrusive audio/video ad. Live and learn!
At least these are cheap enough that upgrading will not be a problem, should I
ever want to.
My iPad is getting slow after these years; we got one at my former place of
employment, and then had to put in $600 worth of tutorial time, worthless to a
blind person. And it wasn't even a significant capacity storage tablet.

Rhonda Staats

Hi Rhonda. You are correct. The Fire tablet you referenced is a 2016 model.
And, it's refurbished.
And, I suspect one pays for shipping as well. I have prime, so that
files into my purchase thinking too.
However, in the end, one can find those deals on Amazon as well.
Because, they probably advertise on Amazon!
Note that I get off that first screen so fast that I never hear about
offers. Nor do I see them. No jumping bears or fireworks.
Now, if I was going for a refurbished model, it might be the 6 inch
Fire no longer made. The footprint of that Fire is perfect as a
one-hand device.
And, if you want to go low, try ebay. Never know. I'm always watching.
But, you are correct. More than one way to skin a cat! Thanks for your notice!
Stay well ... William
