By Chris Boylan

Looking for tablet deals this holiday shopping season? Amazon has got you covered with this sweet deal on their largest tablet. The retailer has listed the Fire HD 10 16GB WiFi Tablet for just $179.99. This is about 22 percent off the usual price, which means you'll save $50 and you'll get free shipping, to boot. Find out more about this deal on Amazon's product page:

This deal is on the Fire HD 10, which features a large 10.1-inch screen with high definition 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. It sports a quad-core processor up to 1.5GHz, a rear-facing 5 MegaPixel camera, and a front-facing 720p HD camera for still photos or videos. This particular model also has 16GB of built-in storage (a 32GB model is also available, linked from the above page). Also keep in mind that you can add more storage to the Fire HD 10 via a microSD card (up to 128GB) or you can use Amazon's free unlimited cloud storage, which comes with every Fire HD tablet purchase.

Amazon's Fire HD 10 offers a 10.1-inch high definition screen for maximum enjoyment of TV shows, movies, games and more.

This is the type of tablet you will probably want to take everywhere. Besides being super-thin and weighing just 15.2 ounces, the Fire HD 10 can be used for music, movies, TV shows or kindle eBooks. You can even use it for gaming. Just connect it to a WiFi network with internet and you'll get access to over 38 million movies, TV shows, songs, books, apps, and games on Amazon (some require purchase).

According to Amazon, buyers of the Fire HD will also have access to Amazon Underground, which has over $10,000 in apps, games, and in-app items available at no additional cost. If you like watching movies and TV shows, or listening to music, you might consider getting a subscription to Amazon Prime for its Netflix-like video streaming service as well as Prime Music. You can get the first month free to check it out with no commitments: Try Amazon Prime, Get the First Month Free. And voracious readers might want to try "Kindle Unlimited" which gives you access to up to 10 books at a time from a library of over a million titles: Check out Kindle Unlimited.

Other features on the Fire HD 10 include built-in single-antenna, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth support, a built-in microphone, a 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, and an integrated stereo speaker with advanced Dolby Audio.

If you think the 10-inch tablet is a little too big, Amazon also has the 6-inch Fire HD 6 and the 8-inch Fire HD 8. And those are also on sale ($20 off) at the moment.

Just remember that Amazon is offering free shipping on most items (including this one) for orders over $35, or free 2-day shipping with membership in Amazon Prime. However, this is a limited time offer, so you'll need to shop NOW before the deal expires or they run out of stock.
