Starting price remains $149. The step-up HD 10 Plus ($179) has 4 GB RAM, a soft-touch finish, Qi wireless charging and the ability to transition to an Alexa smart display in “show mode,” said the company. A $219 “productivity” bundle for either tablet includes a Bluetooth keyboard with a detachable case and a 12-month Microsoft 365 subscription to Office apps and 1 TB OneDrive cloud storage. New kids’ tablets start at $199 and include a one-year subscription to Amazon's Kids+ content, said the company.
