Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Price Drops to $100, Find Out Where

The Kindle Fire HD 8.9 price has dropped to $199 on Amazon.

The online retailer is now offering the 32GB version of the device for $100 off the regular sticker. This is a certified refurbished model which means that someone owned it and sent it back to the company to be fixed. It comes with a one-year warrantee. This sale is available as a father's day promotion and will most likely end next week.

This model was released before the current HDX version. Even though it's a bit old, it still packs some pretty impressive specs for a tablet device. The Kindle Fire line runs a heavily customized version of Android software, however, custom ROMs can be used to make it more of a pure Android tablet.
