Valentine’s Day is a day that celebrates love, togetherness, and, in Amazon’s case, rather sizable discounts to several of its Kindle Fire tablets and Kindle ebook readers.

For those looking for an ebook reader, the base model Kindle can be had for $60, down from its original $80 price tag. Those looking for some light with their reading will find the Kindle Paperwhite for $100, down from $120.

Over on Amazon’s forked Android tablet front, we have the base models of the Fire HD 6 and Fire HD 7, down from their original $100 and $140 price points to $84 and $114, respectively. If you have kids in mind for Valentine’s Day, the Fire HD 6 Kids Edition and its larger counterpart will go for $134 and $164, respectively, down from $150 and $190. Keep in mind that the Fire HD 6 and the Kids Edition differ only in the latter’s access to kid’s content, a bumper case, some user interface changes, and a warranty that covers accidental damage. Finally, for those with a wider budget, the Fire HDX 8.9 will go for $300, a hefty knock-down from its original $480 price tag.

Interestingly enough, the oft-maligned Fire Phone will go on sale for $200. No, the Fire Phone hasn’t done well in the eyes of critics and wallets, but you’ll still be getting a respectably powerful smartphone that includes one year of Amazon Prime for free. If you’re interested in picking one up for your beloved, the sale starts tomorrow, February 11.

Not interested in any of Amazon’s offerings? Fear not, for you can get a litany of discounted jewelry, candy, and grooming products, among others. You can check them out here and see if anything suits your fancy.

Keep in mind each deal has its own expiration date, so if you see something you like, you should probably jump on it.

Usually $330, this Samsung tablet is on sale for $180 for Prime Day
Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 on a pastel colored background.

There's no better time to buy an affordable tablet than during Amazon's Prime Day, as you'll be able to take advantage of attention-catching discounts like this $150 discount for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8. You'll be getting the device for just $180 instead of $330 -- even cheaper than its previously lowest price this year of $209 -- but you'll need to make the purchase as fast as you can because as with most Prime Day deals, we're not sure if stocks will last until the end of the shopping holiday.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 may not be challenging the best tablets in terms of performance, but with its octa-core processor featuring a peak clock speed of 2 GHz, it's more than enough for your multimedia needs. The device won't be able to handle demanding tasks like video editing, but if you're only planning to use the device for watching streaming content, browsing social media, playing video games, or all of these, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 won't disappoint. The tablet's 10.5-inch screen with 1920 x 1200 resolution promises vivid colors and sharp details, and it's part of the reasons why we've included it in our roundup of the best Android tablets as the top midrange option.

This is where a tablet like the Samsung Galaxy TabActive4 Pro makes a name for itself. While a Samsung model like the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra may be the king of Samsung’s tablet lineup, the TabActive4 Pro is the tablet you should consider if you find yourself putting your electronics through their physical paces often.
