Amazon wants to buy your old Android tablet. And it'll even accept a broken unit.
This is your sign to have a clear out — dig out your old tablet, send it back to the nearest Amazon warehouse, and you'll unlock up to 80% off the newest Fire HD tablets. That's because Amazon will add an extra 20% off its sale prices when you send an older tablet back to the company for it to refurbish or recycle.
The latest sale, which follows a series of blockbuster Black Friday discounts from Amazon, was already one of the most affordable ways to pocket one of these tablets — but with trade-in, these Android gadgets have reached a new low.
Fire HD tablets are one of the many types of tech gadgets designed by Amazon. They let you stream entertainment, browse the web, play games, stay connected through video calls, use helpful Alexa features and enjoy apps, reading and productivity tools — all in one portable device.
If you've been needing a new tablet for a while or are shopping for someone special this Christmas, then this could be the perfect item to add to your basket.
