Also could look on craigslist and Facebook marketplace for deals on used devices.

No idea what situation you're in, but you do have great options that are relatively inexpensive. Hope that helps

Fire 7 : https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01GEW27DA/

Fire 8 : https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01J94SWWU/

Discount also applies to the 16GB Fire 7 and 32GB Fire 8, which are $10/$30 more than their base models, respectively.

Both come with a Micro SD Slot so I don't really see a reason to get the higher capacity model unless you don't plan on using a SD Card(though on the HD 8 it's quite a bit more expensive for such a small storage gain so i wouldn't get that one at all).

Kindle fire is 50 bucks and you can pick a cheap sd card that you can fill with movies or musics from the places you mentioned.

Before you pick that up though pm, I might have one I can send to you.

Ah, the good old OLPC computer. Still trying to get the price down from $200 to $100 while Amazon is selling $50 tablets. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GEW27DA/

$30 total for the Fire 7. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GEW27DA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_yVezzb14RTXSN

The Fire 8HD is going for $50 instead of $80 as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J94SWWU/ref=fs_ods_tab_ds

Here's my setup:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2479759

It's a Fire 7 Tablet running Wall Panel that points to my ActionTiles page.

Consider that you can get a solid 7" Android tablet for $50.

Now consider how much it costs them to fly sales reps out or host luncheons at steakhouses or buy the lists of potential customers.

Now consider the profits involved in selling a few hundred thousand dollars worth of hardware.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more of this type of thing TBH.

amazon sells branded tablets for 50 bucks https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Amazon-Fire-7-Tablet/dp/B01GEW27DA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524522712&sr=8-1&keywords=amazon+tablet

(would very strongly recommend you spend the extra 20 for a 16gb model, or buy a micro sd card to put in it.)

$49 USD - Amazon Fire 7

$99 USD - Kids Edition Fire 7. If kid breaks it, they replace it

I bought a tablet just for summoners war (Nvidia Shield K1) and it´s pretty much chargeing while playing so idk :)

Just get a Amazon Fire Tablet 7" for 29.99$ or the Amazon Fire Tablet HD 8" for 49.99$ .

They are on sale now.
A friend just bought the 7" (just for summoners war) and he is happy with it .

If you're ok with the selection in the Android/Kindle marketplace (doesn't have Agricola for example), the Kindle Fire 7'' is just $50. I've used it to play:

• Sentinels of the Multiverse
  
• Lords of Waterdeep
  
• Terra Mystica
  
• Splendor
  
• Twilight Struggle
  
  It's not a great tablet, but it can handle boardgame apps just fine.

Do you have board games or something you could play with your children that doesn't cost much?

Can you get cardboard boxes from some store that are big enough for your children to play in and pretend it is a car or ship or rocket or whatever?

I'm not saying be cheap, but be thrifty. Find a way to save money and keep your children happy with you. Even a card game of Go Fish or Crazy 8's would be fun. Checkers, Candy Land, The Game of Life, Monopoly, RIsk, and other games are fun as well.

If you have an Amazon tablet for them you can get the Amazon Underground store and Actually Free games for them to play on a tablet https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1003016361
An Amazon KIndle Fire tablet can be cheaper than an Apple iPad. Look at this one for $50:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GEW27DA/ref=fs_ods_tab_an

If you save up the money for it, and not use credit cards it would be a good deal. You can get Kindle children books for them to read as well.

There is a tablet for children for it costs more.

Good luck.

You could get him the fire 7 tablet. It is $50 which is a little more than your budget but he could use it for ebooks as textbooks can get heavy and expensive, It would also be able to provide entertainment, and it could also be used for notes and other productive things that would help in college. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GEW27DA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_2KeVAb28V4S6H

You cannot; https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201460820

it has to be a tablet/phone/mobile device unfortunately :/

I think tablet or android phone download for later and then mirror screen to TV is best option. They have cheap tablets, this'll prob work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GEW27DA/ref=fs_ods_tab_an

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GEW27DA/ref=nav_shopall_1_k_ods_tab_an?th=1 The Fire 7 Tablet is 50 bucks!

r/suggestalaptop, but really, your requirements are so low that I'd look for something cheap and lightweight.

Frys has some good deals on cheap laptops right now.

Do you even need a keyboard? If not, a Fire 7 is cheap enough to be effectively disposable--if you lose or break it, who cares? Go buy another one. They're frequently on sale for $40 or less.

It wasn't even a referral link, well maybe it was, but it wasn't my referral, I googled "Affordable tablets" and grabbed a link off a site, here's a non referral link

Amazon already does this with their Kindle Fires.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GEW27DA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_UesYzbZ17DPPG

Maybe, but how are they going to realistically compete? You can get a tablet for less than 100 dollars these days, and you can mount it anywhere on your dash for 10 more. I don't see any auto company making a better infotainment system than an android/ipad any time soon (and it certainly wouldn't be cheaper). They just haven't put the hours and money into development. If they paid for integration with those companies, now THAT would be very interesting.

I'm assuming these are 7th gen? The one with the case is decent deal. The ones without not so much. Amazon is currently selling these new for $40, so for just $7 more you get no scratches and the full 1 year warranty.

The cheap versions of Amazon Fire tablets seem like the sweet spot to me e.g. https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Amazon-Fire-7-Tablet/dp/B01GEW27DA

I don't think you can realistically get anything cheaper without going for something used.

This isn't the answer you are looking for, but you might try listening to the Kindle version of the book using the Kindle Fire's text-to-speech capability.

Kindle version of Colombian Exchange by Alfred Crosby US $30.05
Text-to-speech is enabled in this book.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017S4QP7C/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0

If you don't have a Kindle Fire, this is the lowest price version. $49.99
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GEW27DA/ref=ods_cp_comp_aus

NOTE: In previous years this device has gone on sale for $29.99 during Thanksgiving Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. If you are thinking of purchasing one, be on the lookout for sales next week.

It's basically the same with Ads. But the homescreen on the Fire devices is different so they put more ads on it.

​

Sounds like you probably want one of these: https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Amazon-Fire-7-Tablet/dp/B01GEW27DA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543410405&sr=8-1&keywords=kindle+fire+7

​

Personally though, I would recommend just a regular Android tablet as you can just download the Kindle App on it, and you don't have to deal with Amazon's ads or shoddy hardware.

YO /u/glitchwabble the most expensive Kindle FIRE I can find from amazon warehouse is actually THIS That is a $49.99 tablet!

https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Amazon-Fire-7-Tablet/dp/B01GEW27DA/ref=gw_sdw_pdt-1?_encoding=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=1PDJ4PD749SGMQNE3B3F&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=dc7239cd-34bd-4297-9844-312f3f29a6e8&pf_rd_i=desktop&th=1

apperantly only 30$. I bought it in €. just select with special offer, which means the lock screen is an advertisment, wich doesn't realy bother me personaly. The 8gb version is big enough for only summoners war, because you can use 7.6 gb of it for your own stuff, 400 mb are for the system

I know its android based but you might want to try the new amazon fire 7. Its $50, however, im not to sure about the android L.

Yeah, Amazon will have some Fire Tablets that are like $50 soon. I would go with something like that, especially because it comes from a brand like Amazon that you know you can somewhat trust.

I've read and watched a lot of reviews for the Amazon Fire tablets. Dirt cheap for the 7 incher with small memory but its very durable and should be enough for a toddler. Seriously, the 7 inch tablet is TOUGH!. Otherwise you could look into the bigger 8" and 10" Fire tablets too. Pretty good specs all around and should be more than enough for kids to play around with. I'd buy one for myself too if they were available where I am.

My powerful yet stealthy touch screen sound system for about $500: An Amazon kindle running the Pandora app sits in a kitchen cabinet. Plugged into the audio out is a headphone to RCA adapter. That's plugged into a passive volume control mounted beneath the cabinet. The output drops down to the basement, where I have a signal detecting power amplifier. That amp drives four Polk in-ceiling speakers mounted in our open concept first floor.
