Tablet Deals: Kindle Fire Net $179 After $20 Savings, Shipped in Time for Christmas

By Rachel Cericola

Believe it or not, there's still time to get a great Christmas gift -- one that your recipient actually wants. Even better, you don't even have to leave the house to get it in time to put under the tree.

Right now, Amazon is selling the new Kindle Fire 7-inch android tablet for $199. However, if you use coupon code 3TLRXE3N at checkout and pay using a MasterCard, you'll score $10 instantly off that list price, bringing it down to $189. Even nicer, you'll get a little post-Christmas gift: $10 off a future Amazon purchase of $50 or more, which is like paying $179 for the Kindle Fire. That coupon code will come via email within 30 days of today's purchase.

The Kindle Fire has yet to go on sale at anything below its list price ($199), so this is a nice little deal. Even better, Amazon will ship it to your house absolutely free and in time for Christmas. The retailer is currently offering free 2-day shipping on this item. Find out more about this one-day deal on Amazon's MasterCard promotion page:

PLEASE NOTE: As noted above, this was a one day deal on December 20, 2011 and has expired.  Check out our full Kindle Fire review for more details on the Kindle Fire.

Add the coupon code during checkout to receive your first $10 discount.
Amazon's first "tablet" features a 7-inch color touchscreen that promises 16 million colors with a 1024 x 600 resolution. It also has IPS (in-plane switching), so you can angle the Kindle Fire for the best viewing experience, all without having to contort yourself!

Boasting an easy tablet experience, the Android handheld has built-in Wi-Fi support and one-touch access to thousands of books, magazines, movies, TV shows, musical selections, games, and so much more. It also has Amazon Silk, the company's newly launched cloud-accelerated browser. It even has support for Adobe Flash Player!

Other features include a dual-core processor, 8GB of internal storage and free unlimited cloud storage for Amazon-purchased content.

Also, if you buy now, Amazon will throw in a free month of Amazon Prime. Priced at $79 per year, Amazon Prime offers unlimited, instant streaming of over 10,000 popular movies and TV shows and the ability to borrow thousands of popular e-books through the Kindle Owners' Lending Library (one a a time, max of one per month). Prime subscribers also get free two-day shipping on millions of Amazon items -- perfect for year-round shopping.

The Kindle Fire has been a hot seller this season, and this is one scorching hot deal. Just make sure to use coupon code 3TLRXE3N in the promotion code box and pay using a MasterCard to get those extra discounts. You will also need to select 2-day shipping during checkout -- which is currently free -- if you want to reiceive this one in time for Christmas. Better order quick, though; this coupon code is only good today (December 20, 2011).
