If you’ve read every book, watched every movie and played every game you own, you need some form of entertainment to keep you occupied. And one of the best ways to fight off boredom since you’re stuck at home is with your own tablet.

Luckily, Amazon’s deal of the day is on the Fire HD 8. Today only, you can pick one up for just $50, or $30 off retail. This is the lowest price ever on the tablet.

The Fire HD 8 is one of Amazon’s most wallet-friendly tablets and a very good Apple iPad alternative because of its brilliant eight-inch HD display, a lightweight and compact design and affordable price—which are not features on the Apple iPad.

It also seamlessly works with Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Music, as well as hundreds of social media apps, games, and more. Trust us, you’ll be spending a lot of time watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and The Man in the High Castle on this ultra-portable HD beauty, especially with its 10-hour battery life.

“It’s a fantastic tablet that is lightweight and travels everywhere with me. The battery life is awesome and it charges fairly quick. It's great for reading and watching movies,” a delighted Amazon shopper wrote. “The picture while watching movies is great and the speakers are quite impressive.”

So whenever you feel like you need a moment or two, find an empty room in your home or jump inside of a closet and play Candy Crush until your sanity comes back. “My new fire tablet is my arm chair companion, I can check emails pay a bill read a book or just play games, as I have limited mobility,” shared a not-so-bored five-star reviewer. “This wonderful tablet keeps me from serious cabin fever, complete boredom on my bad days fun and joy on my good days.”

For just $50, the Fire HD 8 is a good investment, so you don’t go stir crazy at home.
