Insane tablet deal: HSN customers can get 2 Amazon Fire HD 8s for just $80 (save $165)

I don't throw around words like "insane" lightly, especially when it comes to deals. But this, well, pretty insane.

For a limited time, and while supplies last, HSN customers can get a 2-pack of the Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet (32GB) for $80. Regular price at Amazon per tablet: $90 without extras. Best price to date at Amazon: $55, again without extras. And, you get case vouchers to deck 'em out in style! This is perfect for treating yourself and a loved one, or covering multiple tech-loving folks on your holiday gift list.

This is the latest-generation version of the tablet — meaning it has a 1,280x800-pixel display (not sky-high resolution, but more than sufficient for 8-inch-tablet tasks), 32GB of expandable storage, front- and rear-facing cameras and a USB-C charging port.

This is a decidedly entertainment-minded device, one that's great for games, books, movies and the like. But you can use it for things like e-mail, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok and YouTube. It also supports hands-free Alexa voice commands.

The Fire HD 8 isn't the fastest tablet on the planet, but it's certainly fast enough for the aforementioned apps. As for the cameras, they're just 2-megapixels apiece, — definitely not framed-photography-friendly. For Zoom calls and such, though? They're fine.

HSN also gives you vouchers for cases, so you can be sure to protect your new gadgets at a bargain.

I've long considered the Fire HD 8 one of the best tablet deals, period. That was based on the $90 regular price and frequent $65-ish sale price. But $80 for two? You heard it here: That's insane.
