Today is your chance to score a great deal on an Amazon device. Some of the best deals this year are on Amazon products. It is a good time to make the leap if you have been looking for a new device.

You can find the best Prime Day discounts on Amazon devices, from e-readers and smart speakers to TVs, home security systems, and even wi-fi routers. We have a huge list of the best Prime Day deals on non-Amazon goods. Signing up for Amazon Prime will allow you to take advantage of the deals on offer.

Kindle deals

• $95 at Amazon (with ads)
• $110 at Amazon (ad-free)

• The standard 2021 Kindle Paperwhite normally starts at $139, but right now, you can buy the ad-supported model equipped with 8GB of storage for $94.99 instead, or the ad-free model for $114.99 ($45 off).

Read our Kindle Paperwhite 2021 review.
• If the latest Kindle Paperwhite is out of your budget, you can currently buy the last-gen, ad-supported Kindle Paperwhite with 32GB of storage for its best price in select colors. Regularly $159.99, Amazon is selling the e-reader for $89.99 instead. Although it lacks months-long battery life and USB-C support like the new model, the 2018 Kindle Paperwhite is still a good, waterproof e-reader that will last you weeks. Read our review.
• Finally, if both the aforementioned e-readers are too expensive for you, Amazon is taking up to 50 percent off the entry-level Kindle. Right now, you can buy the ad-supported model for $44.99 or the ad-free model for $59.99, both of which are $45 off.

Echo deals

The weather, news, calendars, grocery lists, and more can be displayed on the mid-sized smart display in the Echo Show 8. It can be used to control your smart home devices. Video calls can be made via Amazon's voice service, as well as via zoom.

The Echo Show 15 is a large, wall-mounted device that is a shared hub for families to view upcoming calendar appointments, virtual notes, and more. The same functions are available on the 15.6-inch device as they are on other devices.

• Amazon’s Echo Show 15 and third-gen Echo Show 10 are a little different from the other smart displays in the Echo lineup but offer similar functionality. Both are also much more expensive at $249.99, but you can save $70 on both for a limited time. For the unfamiliar, the Echo Show 15 (on sale for $179.99) is a large, wall-mounted device with a 15.6-inch touch display families could use as a bulletin board or you could even use as a 1080p TV. Meanwhile, Amazon’s rotating Echo Show 10 — which is currently going for $179.99 — is mounted on a motorized, swiveling base and thus can follow you during video calls. Read our Echo Show 15 and Echo Show 10 reviews.
• The second-gen Echo Show 5 is also on sale for $34.99, which is a $50 discount. The smaller, 5.5-inch display is particularly well suited for your nightstand, especially given you can use it to set alarms and snooze them by simply tapping the top. You can also use the display to play music, get the weather report, and perform other Alexa-enabled tasks. Read our review.
• If you don’t mind its orb-like design, you can buy the fourth-gen Echo for $59.99 ($40 off) or the budget-friendly fourth-gen Echo Dot for $19.99 ($20 off). The fourth-gen Echo is much better with a built-in smart home hub and produces far better sound. However, the Echo Dot 4 is also a smart speaker with good sound quality and that you can also use to set timers and alarms, control other smart home devices, and more with just your voice. Typically $49.99, right now, you can pick it up for just $19.99 from Amazon. Read our Echo (fourth-gen) review and our Echo Dot (fourth-gen) review.
• The third-gen Echo Dot is also on sale for $17.99, a $22 discount. It doesn’t sound as great as the latest model, but it’s still a good smart speaker you can use to set alarms, control smart home gadgets hands-free, and carry out a range of tasks via Alexa. Read our review.

Fire TV and Fire TV stick deals

Built-in microphones for voice commands, low input lag, and support for two-way video calling are some of the features of Amazon's 4K TV. Most major streaming services are also available.

• Various sizes of Amazon’s Fire TV Omni are on sale right now, with the 55-inch model selling for $319.99 ($240 off). If you want support for Dolby Vision, however, you should buy the 65-inch for $499.99 ($330 off) or the 75-inch for $749.99 ($350 off). No matter which size you buy, all of the 4K TVs offer deep integration with Amazon Alexa, low input lag for gaming, and support for two-way video calling. Read our review.

Both offer a 1080p HD video doorbell, night vision, custom motion detection zones, and support for other Ring products and services. You can also buy the battery-powered, 2020 model for $74.99 ($25 off), although last year’s wire-free model offers — at least on paper — better battery life and improved video reviewers so you can see more complete motion events.
• For a more budget-friendly alternative, you can buy the Blink Video doorbell for $34.99 ($15 off) or the full system, which comes with one Sync Module 2 and mounting kit, for $50.98 ($34 off). Both offer a 1080p HD video doorbell, although Blink doesn’t offer person detection or HDR imaging.
• If you’re looking for an outdoor security camera, Blink is selling its wireless, three-camera kit for $124.99 ($125 off) alongside the Sync Module 2 for connectivity, as well as a single third-gen Blink Outdoor camera for $84.98 ($55 off). Alternatively, you can buy a single Blink Outdoor with an add-on solar charger mount for $74.98 ($55 off). Both offer battery life that lasts up to two years on two AA batteries and come with support for motion detection and 1080p video.
• If you’re on the market for an indoor camera, you can buy a pair of wired Blink Minis for just $29.99 ($35 off). The basic security cameras allow for two-way audio and 1080p recording, but you’ll have to pay extra for cloud storage if you’re a new Blink customer.
