Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Prime Early Access Sale is finally here, and with the second day brimming with as many deals as the first, there are still plenty of bargains to be had.
With deals dropping until 11.59pm tonight, the 48-hour event offers whopping discounts on big-ticket items spanning everything from air fryers, robot vacuums, mattresses and beauty to gaming consoles, laptops, and other big-name tech.
However, given that it’s an Amazon event, some of the most competitive deals are found on its own-brand devices. Prices have been slashed across all of Amazon’s gadgets, including Echo speakers, Ring doorbells, Kindle ereaders and, of course, Fire tablets. When it comes to the latter, we’ve spotted an excellent deal on the media-centric device that will save customers 56 per cent on a 2020 model.

There’s a new Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet (£99.99, Amazon.co.uk) on the way, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait for it to launch. Based on current information, it appears to be an iterative spec update more than anything, so you won’t be missing much if you opt for the current 2020 model, especially now that it has 56 per cent off. It’s an 8in HD media-focused tablet, ideal for watching Netflix, reading and browsing the web. You get up to 12 hours battery on a single charge and it’s 30 per cent faster, thanks to the quad-core processor.
