Now is a good time to buy Amazon's Echo smart speakers and Fire tablets

AmazonAlthough they're only a couple of months old, Amazon's latest Fire HD tablets are being discounted for the first time.
The sale, which runs through September 2, is through Amazon's Warehouse Deals section and also includes savings for the Echo Dot and Amazon Tap speakers.
The deals are relatively modest, but it's still rare for hardware to receive any price cut this early. That's especially true with Amazon's tablets and Echos, which are already a good value at full price.
I haven't tried the new Fire HD tablet, but its better screen and longer battery life extend its lead as the best tablet you can get for under $50 (or under $40, if you take advantage of this deal.) I was able to try the Fire HD 8, though, and was impressed by how good it was given its modest price.
If the only thing holding you back from these deals is the fact that these items aren't totally new, don't worry. Each is backed by Amazon's A-z warranty, so should something go wrong in the first couple of months (more than enough time for major problems to show themselves,) you'll be covered. I've been buying tech through Amazon's Warehouse Deals for years and haven't run into any major issues.
While these deals are going to be available through the beginning of next month, stock is likely limited, so it would be better to buy sooner rather than later.
