If you've been thinking about a tween Kindle Fire for the holidays, there is a great deal today (Dec 10, 2012) while supplies last. One per customer, you can save $50 on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" tablet by using the code FIREHD89. The 16GB option is $249 with the savings applied, and excellent deal for a large tablet with HD and Dolby Audio.
The site has provided some great deals throughout the holidays. There have been a couple of opportunities to save $30 on the Kindle 8GB 7" tablet, but this is the first really great deal on a larger tablet. I like the large size for video content, and it's great to be able to have larger space for ereading and games. For the tween who's challenged by the awkwardness of a smaller screen, this is a nice alternative.
It's worth the extra investment to make sure that you have a good tween tablet case and a protection plan as tweens can be a little bit ruthless with their tech belongings. My tween can be careless with her Kindle, and I definitely wouldn't pick up a tech device for her without a related plan. My older daughter, a college student, is much more careful with her Kindle, but a case is still a much needed accessory.
