There are only a few weeks left until the Prime Day sale in October , but you can already take advantage of many great deals . I searched Amazon for the best tablet deals and verified them using price tracking tools . While only one of the best tablets of 2026 made the list below, all of these devices represent excellent deals at current prices.
The 11th generation iPad now costs $427.
The iPad was one of many tech products whose prices skyrocketed in 2026 due to the ongoing RAM crisis, so it’s nice to see this model receive a discount, albeit a small one. The 11-inch iPad with the A16 chip now costs $427 (original price: $449). This is the 128GB version, one of the most affordable iPad models. It supports the Apple Pencil, features a bright and colorful screen, and is considered the best tablet for most users .
A practically new Kindle Scribe costs almost half the price of a new one.
Kindle Scribe e-readers are expensive—the 64GB version can cost almost $500—but you can currently get a like-new 64GB version for $319.99. The 16GB version costs $284.99, but the extra storage is worth the $35 difference. You’re unlikely to find a better deal on a like-new Scribe e-reader during this sale.
The TCL NXTPAPER 14 is $120 off.
TCL began producing tablets in 2020, and this year saw the release of their latest model, the NXTPAPER 14. It’s currently on sale at its lowest price ever: $349.98 (original price: $469.99). This tablet features a 14.3-inch matte display with multiple viewing modes for reading, streaming video, and writing. While its size doesn’t make it the most portable, its design makes it versatile and ideal for those who need a tablet that can do a lot.
The Xteink X4 Classic pocket e-reader costs only $76.
Pocket-sized e-readers have been gaining popularity lately, with more and more companies releasing new models of these ultra-compact reading tablets. The Xteink X4 Classic is especially small: just four inches (roughly the size of a credit card), it fits comfortably in almost any pocket. This second-generation device, released in early September, is incredibly affordable: $75.99 (originally $89)—about half the price of the base Kindle model.
The Fire HD 10 tablet is on sale at a 53% discount.
The Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet is now more affordable than ever, with a 53% discount, bringing its price to an all-time low of $72.99. (Note that this offer applies to the version of the device with lock screen ads.) While this tablet won’t win any awards for its cutting-edge features, it’s incredibly good value for the money and will likely handle all the basic tasks you’d expect from a tablet.
