These are Amazon's 16 best-selling tablets — and which ones are worth buying

Amazon's best-selling tablets, as of 22 September in the US, reveal some interesting points of comparison with TechRadar's own ranking of the best tablets. While both lists share some common ground, there are notable differences in the tablets that top each selection.

TechRadar tends to focus on adult-oriented tablets, while Amazon's ranking includes a number of kid-focused models. Additionally, Amazon bundles e-readers with tablets in their listing, a distinction not made by TechRadar. It's also worth noting that Amazon's own models sell particularly well on their platform, likely due to the attractive discounts offered.

The Kindle Paperwhite takes the number two spot on Amazon's list, a position it shares with Kobo models that outrank it in TechRadar's list. Although the iPad (A16) 11-inch isn't TechRadar's top choice, it still received a strong score from the review team. In contrast, Amazon's third-ranked tablet, the Fire HD 10 (2023), received a less favorable review, being described as only "smoldering" and being relatively inexpensive, which likely contributes to its popularity on Amazon.

The full list of Amazon's best-selling tablets, in order as of the specified date, is provided with the option to view details for each model to learn more about TechRadar's real-world testing results and determine which tablets are worth purchasing.
