This "perfect portable companion" tablet is still only 50 bucks after Prime Day — but how long will it last?


Big Deal Days continues with more Fire deals.

The Amazon Fire 7, a compact yet versatile couch companion, is currently chilling with a 38% discount during the waning hours of Big Deal Days, and you don't even need to be a Prime member to enjoy the savings. Sure, the Fire 7 is not the best Android tablet and it certainly isn't going to win any awards for power or innovation, but if you want a simple, portable device for fun or travel, it's an unbeatable pick at this price. It's also worth noting that this particular version of the Fire 7 has lockscreen ads, which means Amazon is going to bug you with the occasional banner or ad-supported wallpaper — but only when the device isn't in use.
