These are Amazon’s 16 best-selling tablets — and which ones are worth buying
Here at TechRadar, we have our own ranking of the best tablets around. So when I discovered it was possible to view a list of Amazon’s best-selling tablets, I was intrigued to see if it bore any relation to the tablets we regarded most highly.
There are some obvious points of deviation. We tend to focus on tablets for adults, and there are a number of kid-focused models in Amazon‘s ranking. Similarly, whereas Amazon bundles ereaders in with tablets, we have them in a separate best ereader ranking.
It also makes sense that Amazon’s own models sell especially well on the platform, given that they tend to get the best discounts. I’m not surprised to see the Kindle Paperwhite taking the #2 spot, for instance, when we put two Kobo models above it in our list.
Although the iPad (A16) 11-inch — Amazon’s #1 bestseller — isn’t our favorite tablet, we still scored it very highly in our review. We were less enamored with Amazon’s #3 slate, the Fire HD 10 (2023), awarding it three stars and declaring it “only smoldering”. It is, however, relatively cheap, which helps explain its popularity here.
