Previous Model Amazon Fire HD 8 On Sale For $45 In Inventory Clearout

While the new Amazon Fire HD 8 will be released on October 4, Amazon still have some of the previous generation Fire HD 8 in stock, so they put it on sale for a mere $45, the lowest price ever for the 16GB ad-free version “Without Special Offers” which normally costs $99: https://www.amazon.com/Tablet-Alexa-Display-Previous-Generation/

And these are new tablets, not refurbished or used tablets. I don't know for how long the offer will last, because I don't know how many of these tablets Amazon still have in stock. But they tend to sell out fast in tablet deals like these.

The previous generation Fire HD 8 comes with Alexa so you can ask Alexa to make local calls by voice or send messages for you, use it as a smart home hub for controlling smart devices, have Alexa look up things or take notes for you, and related digital assistant tasks.
