Custom ROMs for the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX are one step closer after the device finally got its first bootloader unlock. The tweak could eventually allow users to ditch Amazon’s own Fire OS software, but there are some significant caveats.

Looking to treat yourself or a loved one to a new tablet this Christmas? As long as you don’t mind investing in Amazon’s ecosystem, you can currently find some incredible deals on the company’s third-generation Kindle Fire HDX lineup. For today only, a number of 7-inch 4G LTE models have at least half off.
In a somewhat surprising move, Amazon is allowing all Android tablet owners to team up and co-operate with Fire TV gamers in Sev Zero, the retail giant’s exclusive game. The official companion app, which was previously available on to Kindle Fire HDX owners, can now be downloaded through Google Play.
Amazon has slashed $130 off its 32GB 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HDX for today only, bringing its price tag down from $429 to just $299 with special offers. The tasty discount, which makes the 32GB device $20 cheaper than the 16GB model, appears to be available only to customers based in the U.S. at this time.
Amazon U.K. has slashed £25 off all Kindle Fire tablets for a limited time to say thank you to customers who voted the retail giant number one in customer satisfaction for the seventh year running. The offers ends on Monday, January 20, at 11:59 p.m. GMT.
