- There are honestly really only a handful of tablets you should consider: the iPad, iPad mini, Nexus 10, Nexus 7, Kindle Fire HD, and Kindle Fire HD 8.9.

- So, almost none of the tablets you want to buy are on sale. Exceptions: The Nexus 7, which is a little older than the others, can be had for modest discounts in some places, like Office Depot. Apple's also giving a modest discount on the retina iPad. But the others, like the Nexus 10 and the Kindle Fires, are already sold for as cheap as they can be. So expect to pay full price or pretty close to it. Some are selling tablets with a gift card thrown in, though: Walmart's got the iPad 2 with a $75 gift card included (I'd get a Mini instead), and Staples is selling the Fire HD with a $20 gift card.
