Black Friday Week Tablet Win

A great deal is only great if it fits your life. I break down how the Amazon Fire Max 11 earned a spot in my daily routine alongside the Kindle Scribe, and why it’s more than a budget tablet when you pair it with the right tools. From the 11-inch 2000x1200 display that flatters ebooks and movies, to an octa-core processor that breezes through browsing, email, and light work, this is a practical upgrade that keeps costs sane—especially when Black Friday pricing sits around 33% off.

I share the moments that matter: how the Kindle app pulls in your entire library for instant reading, when a bright LCD beats e‑ink, and why the magnetic keyboard case changes typing from a chore into second nature. We also talk real-world tradeoffs: folio keyboards can be fragile for travel, so a padded case earns its keep. Thinking about markup and notes? The stylus opens quick annotation and PDF edits, though I explain where I expect it to shine and where it won’t replace dedicated note devices.

If you’re weighing an iPad versus the Fire Max 11, I outline who benefits from each. Need color media, long battery life, microSD expansion to 1 TB, Wi‑Fi 6, and a fingerprint sensor in a durable aluminum body? The Fire delivers the 80 percent most people need at a friendlier price, deeply tied to Prime Video, Kindle, and Alexa. I also map a simple deal strategy so you don’t miss moving discounts or overbuy on bundles you won’t use. Ready to make a smart pick while the clock is ticking?

Hello. I hope you've all been out shopping on uh Amazon.com because uh we are in the middle of Black Friday week and there are just incredible sales uh online at Amazon.com. And if you're a Prime member, you get better deals and more deals, and I've touted the the advantage the other advantages of being a prime member, so uh such as free prime video. So there's no reason not to sign up. Let me remind you of the dates of the sales. So November 9 to 19 was the Black Friday lead up, and I took advantage of that myself to make a purchase, which I'll tell you about. Black Friday week, that's what's going on now. Uh, November 20 to 27. And then uh November 28th is Black Friday, just as it is for many businesses. And Cyber Monday is not just Monday on Amazon, it's November 29 to December 1st. So uh the deals are just incredible, but um things will run out. Uh, I had an experience with that myself, something that I was eyeing. Uh it was no longer available uh when I looked an hour later. And as I have already said, if you're a prime member, you'll get more deals and better deals. Okay, so what did I be? What did I buy? Well, I decided to buy the Kindle Fire Max 11. And you may say, look, you know, you just bought the Kindle Scribe, and now uh you're telling us that you um you bought another Kindle. Uh I mean, why is that? Well, that's because the Kindle Fire is a completely different type of device to uh the Kindle Scribe. Uh it's it's a tablet, and it has its its own app store. It um you can watch movies on it. Uh it has a beautiful screen uh with beautiful colors, and you can still read your Kindle books, except on this nice big screen, uh the it's easier on the eye and much more attractive. So it's not meant for um the uh back and forth uh annotating uh documents and so on uh of the Kindle Scribe that I've talked about at length. It really is completely different. It's it's more like an iPad than a Kindle Scribe, except it's vastly cheaper than an iPad. So uh I uh picked this all up yesterday from the mail. It was very quick to calm, and uh the Kindle Fire itself came in this attractive attractive box and the Kindle Fire looks like this the screen. Now I'm holding it at an angle to avoid reflection from the window because the beauty of the screen is a big part of a reason to buy it. Okay, now I bought the maximum memory available and the biggest screen available in the Kindle Fire lineup because I don't want to have to worry about storage, and my husband is also uh using a Kindle, so I don't want him to have to worry about storage, and I always like the biggest screen because it's easier on the eye, so now I'll be able to read my Kindle books on uh this beautiful machine, and they will show up beautifully and uh much easier on the eye to read because I do a lot of reading. So uh I did go for the keyboard screen cover. Oh, sorry, the keyboard case. Okay, and so what it is is it's a case, it covers the Kindle front and back, but uh the front of it is a keyboard that you can use so this bypasses the necessity to use an on-screen keyboard, so it can be very useful. And the back is just uh a protective cover for the uh Kindle, and to attach the keyboard to uh the Kindle fire, uh there's a little magnet here and it touches magnetically. So um, so you don't see your Kindle books when you get this and you and you fire it up uh or puns uh intended. Uh you'll find those under the Kindle app as you would on your iPhone. So it's a little bit hard to see. But it's this it looks like this, see the little boy reading a book, and so if you tap on that, which I'm doing now, what's on all your Kindles comes up, okay? Your books, your documents, you can see everything that's on the Kindle scribe. Uh it's uh it's a Kindle uh when you uh tap on that app, and when you're not in that app, it's all sorts of other things. So you can read your newspapers, you can watch films, you can play games. Uh so it's it's a completely different device to the Kindle Scribe, even though you can read what's on the Kindle Scribe in it. Okay, so uh the keyboard works great, okay, but you have the option to take it off, as I've done here. Now, as a as a protection for the Kindle, it's a little bit the problem with the Kindle scribe cover. Uh, if you want to go on a long trip, uh the keyboard case is too fragile. So I have ordered a travel case for uh my Kindle fire, and it's yet to arrive, so I can't recommend it because I haven't seen it. But um I have ordered travel cases like that before, and they've been great. And I also went for the um stylus, which enables you to to write, to annotate and stuff like that on documents. Uh, once again, I haven't used it yet, so I can't give a report. The only thing I've done is I've installed its battery, uh, which comes with, and it also comes with a little device to help you change the nib when it's time because these nibs do wear out. So I'd like to read uh some information that I put together about uh the Amazon Fire. Okay, Max 11, that's what it's called, the machine I've got. And yeah, I'm just overjoyed, I can tell you. The Amazon Fire Max 11 in its 128 gigabyte configuration stands as the company's most powerful and premium tablet to date, boasting a vivid 11-inch display with 2,000 by 1200 resolution that delivers sharp immersive visuals, ideal for streaming movies, reading ebooks, or browsing. Powered and it has its own app store, remember, so uh you're gonna have lots of fun. Powered by a speedy octocore processor paired with 4GB of RAM, it handles multitasking, casual gaming, and productivity tasks with ease, while the generous 128 gigabyte of internal storage, expandable up to one terabyte via micro SD, so you can you can do that if you need to, ensures ample space for apps, media and files without compromise. With an impressive 14-hour battery life, Wi-Fi 6 support, a fingerprint sensor for secure unlocking, and optional accessories like a magnetic keyboard case, which I bought, and stylus pen that transforms it into a lightweight two-in-one device. And I also bought that. This tablet excels as an all-day entertainment and light work companion, deeply integrated with Amazon's ecosystem, including Prime Video, King of Kindle, and Alexa, all in a sleek aluminium body that's durable and modern. So that's what I've done uh uh during these uh these deals. I mean, uh uh I got the uh Kindle Fire for 33% off. Now I don't know if that deal is still there because they keep changing it, but I I I I looked this morning and it was still uh at that discount. You save a lot of money because it's not a it's not as expensive as an iPad, but it's still not a cheap, a cheap device. So uh so I hope you'll go shopping on Amazon.com and most of all I hope you'll have fun. Uh please uh subscribe, like, and comment my videos because uh I'd love your feedback and I'd like to think that uh you come back for more. Okay, have a great day and shop on Amazon.com. Shop
