Welcome back, Rick! The Fire tablet deal is even better for some because Amazon offers trade-in discounts for older Amazon devices. You get a percent-off for more recent models (so the low sale price kind of hurts you there) and the discounts are more modest for older devices. Modest, but a lot better than the trash or recycling center for that gizmo you don't want any more. They also straight up buy back devices even without a new purchase. A few years ago I bought a Fire HD 8 for $40 (Prime day incentives). Eighteen months later I sold it back to Amazon for $25. That's a CHEAP tablet! I bought an HD 10 this year.

Budget a case for these recent Fire models because they clearly cut corners on the body material, which feels and sounds like cheap plastic, and it's slippery.
