As expected, Amazon unveiled a lot of stuff at a special event in Seattle yesterday, ranging from a mainstream rival to Apple’s AirPods, a couple of very interesting all-new Echo devices, and a revised version of the company’s “standard” smart speaker to a bunch of niche-oriented or outright experimental products like a smart oven, smart lamp, smart ring, and Alexa-powered glasses.

In addition to the slate itself, QVC will throw in a 32GB SD card and special “app pack” at no extra charge, so you’ll actually be saving even more than 40 bucks when taking the value of those freebies into consideration. That app pack, in case you’re wondering, includes one year of OfficeSuite Personal service, a 3-month America’s Test Kitchen Digital All Access subscription, 3-month Curious service, and 1-year SplashID Pro service. If you’re not familiar with any of those services, well, they’re free, so you might as well try them out.

Besides, the Fire HD 8 is an excellent bargain even by itself at a substantially reduced price of $39.98, packing a decent quad-core processor and 1.5GB RAM, as well as dual stereo speakers, while being able to last a whopping 10 hours between charges in “mixed” use.
