You can even save 20% more with an applicable trade-in. There’s no doubt that this is one of the best tablet deals going on at the moment, so tap the button below to lock it in. Or, keep reading to see why you’ll like this tablet, take a peek at what our time with it was like, and what it means for something to be refurbished to the ‘Like-New’ level at Amazon.

Why you should buy an Amazon Fire Max 11

The Amazon Fire Max 11 is an 11-inch tablet with a 2000 x 1200 resolution. It has 4GB of RAM and, though it starts with 64GB of storage, you can expand its storage to up to 1 TB with a micro-SD card. All of this combined with its fast Wi-Fi 6 capabilities make for a great experience for watching content and taking in visuals. While a lot of this is fairly standard, where the tablet really shines is its casing. With strong glass and a lightweight aluminum casing it’ll feel good to hold yet also manage to withstand the small bumps of everyday usage. Plus, as mentioned in our Amazon Fire Max 11 review, it has a really usable kickstand that makes countertop usage a snap. At the end of the day, our reviewer stated that watching video was the tablet’s “forte” and that still holds up at this time.

But, before you get it, what’s up it being refurbished? It’s a little different for every retailer, but Amazon’s ‘Like-New’ is one of the best possible variations of this you can see. It ensures the product has been tested by Amazon, is fully functional, tested and charged, and all of the software on the tablet is updated during testing. My best guess is that these tablets were returned or traded in after light usage (this version has lock screen ads, which will inevitably turn some people off) and not after some roughhousing. So, should you get this tablet even though it’s refurbished? Absolutely. Plus, you can say you’re contributing to helping our planet while you take your discount. As a reminder, that discount is $70 off of the usual $200 price, making the tablet just $130 while this limited time deal lasts. All you need to do to make it yours is tap the button below.

I gave up physical books and my reading life has never been better
Physical books are great, but e-readers are just better. There, I said it.
supernote and book in hand

If you are a book purist, you might scoff when I recommend an e-reader instead of buying physical books, and I won't blame you. The allure of the smell of pages, the weight of the book in my hands, the whole ritual, is hard to resist. 

However, if you allow me some leeway to convince you, there’s a strong argument to be made against physical books and in favor of using e-readers. So let me make the case for e-readers, because once you understand what you've been missing, it's hard to go back.

This elusive Android tablet is the world’s thinnest and makes the iPad Pro look boring
If you thought thin tablets were Apple's thing, Huawei is here to change your mind.
Huawei MatePad Pro Max

Huawei just launched the MatePad Pro Max, and it's a lot to take in. At just 4.7mm thick and weighing 499 grams, it officially takes the crown as the world's thinnest tablet. For context, the iPad Pro, which we all fawned over for being impossibly slim, is 5.1mm thick. The MatePad Pro Max beats it.

Now, there's a decent chance you'll never actually buy this tablet. Huawei devices aren't sold in every market, and the lack of Google apps is a real barrier for most users. But there's no denying that Huawei is doing things that even Apple can’t match.

ReMarkable Paper Pure wants to be the only notebook you’ll ever need
The ReMarkable Paper Pure is here, and it might be the perfect digital notebook for most people.
reMarkable Paper Pure

ReMarkable makes some of the best e-ink tablets on the market. However, there has always been one problem for prospective buyers: its high entry price. The ReMarkable Paper Pro costs too much, and the Paper Pro Move cannot be used as an independent device. It seems the company also realized this and is releasing a new e-ink tablet to address the issue. 

The new addition to the ReMarkable family is called the ReMarkable Paper Pure, and if you have been eyeing a ReMarkable device but didn't want to pay flagship prices, this might be the one.
