Today only, as a Gold Box deal, Amazon is offering certified, refurbished Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ tablets with 16GB of memory for $179 ($60 off its usual pricetag of $239) and with 32GB of memory for $199 ($70 off its usual pricetag of $269). Certified refurbished Kindles and Kindle Fires have been completely tested and repackaged to look and work the same as a brand new item, and they come with the same warranty as the brand-new item. If you’re not waiting around for the Kindle Fire 2 line that’s set for release this fall, then it’s a great time to get these HD 8.9″ Fire HDs at a discount.
If you want one of these discounted Fires, act quickly! Gold Box deals are always one-day-only (till midnight PST), “while supplies last” sales.
Note that this deal is on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ model that does not have 4G LTE capabilities, it’s more or less that same as the Kindle Fire HD 7″, but with a larger touchscreen display.
