Amazon has an all-new lineup of tablets ready to tempt you this holiday season, and for once, you might actually want to buy them. While the company has tried in previous years to make an upmarket play for relevancy in the tablet space, these new Alexa Tablets â RIP “Fire” â have the one thing everyone’s wanted for years: actual Play Store support.

From 9to5Toys:
Amazon has refreshed its Fire tablet lineup this morning with new features, specs and a special Kids edition. As well, today’s news includes a slight price drop on the HD 8 while the Fire 7 stays at the same price. Amazon’s budget-focused tablets have long been a hit with parents looking for an alternative to Apple’s much pricier iPads. And thanks to the recently announced FreeTime unlimited, parents are in more control over how their kids spend time than ever before. More details and a special launch-day deal are below.
