Amazon's voice assistant is on pace to lose $10 billion this year, so it might not be a good idea to invest in the company's line of devices. Some of the best ebook readers in the market can be found in the Fire tablets and Fire TV sticks. The best time to buy is during the Black Friday sale on Amazon.
Products are tested year-round. The products that are no longer discounted will be removed. The guide will be updated throughout the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekends.

There are deals on the e-reader.
They're easy to use, reliable, and work as intended. They have a month's worth of batteries. If you want to find out which is best for you, read our guide. The lowest price for most Kindles has been recorded.
Most people should buy the paperwhite from the e-book store. If you like to read in the bathtub, by the pool, or at the beach, then the 6.8-inch screen is a great choice. It's the lowest price we've seen in a while. It charges using theusb-c
The paperwhite signature edition has a few more features than the standard paperwhite. The page turn is quicker, the display adjusts brightness based on the lighting in your environment, and there is more storage. If you listen to a lot of audiobooks, it is a good option.
The basic Kindle was updated with a few improvements. The built-in light comes with a dark mode for when you're reading at night, and the screen is brighter at 300PPI, up from 195PPI on its predecessor. You can use the same cable you use with your laptop or phone if Amazon swapped the Microusb port for ausb-c port. It has 16 gigabytes of storage and can hold thousands of Ebooks.
The way to go is for a more luxurious experience. It has a large 7-inch display with auto-adjust brightness, an aluminum body, and is the only one with physical page turn buttons. It is waterproof as well.
The paperwhite kids edition is great for reading. It has a large 6.8-inch screen, a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, and access to parental controls. You won't have to worry about spills because it's waterproof.
There are fire tablets deals.
Fire tablets are easy to justify. The slates are affordable and capable. The software mostly highlights Amazon content and there's no Play Store, so app selection is limited, but they're perfect screens for consuming media. We have a guide for the best Amazon Fire tablets.
The Fire HD10 is our favorite Fire device. It has a bright screen and good battery life. The HD 10 is on sale for $160, which is $35 off the regular price. It is an ideal setup if you want to get some light work done.
The Fire HD 10 Plus is the best option if you want to spend more money. When you use multiple apps, the performance of the device is a little bit better because it has 4 gigabytes of ram instead of 3. You can use a dock like this without having to plug it in.
We did not recommend Fire 7 tablets because they were too slow. It has a more powerful processor, longer battery life, and double the memory. The card can hold up to one Terabyte of storage. If you can, you should still buy the Fire HD 8.
The new Fire HD 8 has a slightly faster processor. It is not too large and not too small. The performance is good and the battery life is good. The Fire HD 8 Plus is on sale for $65, which is $5 off the regular price.
The Fire HD 8 is the same as the new kids version. The two-year worry-free guarantee, as well as a rugged case and one year of Amazon Kids+, are included in the price. The Kids Pro version is better for older kids since it has a dedicated Kids app store for parents to install.
The new Fire 7 Kids has a faster processor. The 7-inch screen size is difficult to use for Scott Gilbertson's children. It's a good option if a small display isn't an issue.
Older children will like the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro. Parents can approve the installation of apps for kids from the app store. The case is lighter in weight.
There are fire tv deals.
Do you like to watch most of your content on Amazon Prime? A Fire TV Stick is a great idea. You'll still get access to all of the major streaming services even though it's prioritized over other popular services. Check out our guide for more.
The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is our favorite recommendation for Amazon loyalists, because the menus are targeted towards the company's Prime Video app and purchases from its store. It comes with more memory, support for wi-fi 6, and a picture-in-picture feature, compared to its predecessor. Some of the highest quality streaming will be available with this stick.
The Fire TV Stick 4K won't be as smooth, but it's still a great stick since it doesn't have a wi-fi 6 support.
If you don't own a 4K TV and don't want to make the switch, you can use the Fire TV Stick lite. We had access to all the major streaming apps. You'll get a simpler version of the remote with no TV power button, volume controls, or branded buttons for apps. Voice commands will not be able to control the content.
There are more deals on AMAZON.
Eero is one of the brands that Amazon has. The best sales on those devices have been pooled together as well.
The Eero 6 is one of the best mesh wi-fi routers. Despite being one of the slower systems we've tested, it still offers a stable connection and wide coverage. One Eero 6 routers and two Eero 6 extenders are included. The Eero Pro 6 is on sale for just over $150 off its regular price.
The Eero 6 system comes with the same simplicity. It can handle simultaneous streams from more connected devices because they're bigger and have an extra 5- GHz band. If you have a fast connection you should upgrade.
The best fitness tracker's guide mentioned the halo view. It's cheap and easy to use. It's the lowest price we've seen thus far. Adrienne So is not a fan of how it tells you to strip down in your underwear to measure your body fat composition.
Amazon's Halo isn't the best choice for health and fitness tracking, but it is useful for voice-tone tracking. This one was tested by an editor. The ability of the tracker to spot changes in her psychological and emotional states through the tone in her voice did create changes in her own relationship despite her uneasiness with it.
We gave the Blink Video Doorbell an honorable mention in our Best Video Doorbell Cameras guide. It's affordable and works with Amazon's voice assistant, as well as being tethered and battery powered. The two outdoor cameras in this bundle will give you more coverage around your home. It's the lowest price we've tracked.
We haven't tried this mount yet because it was launched by Amazon. It gives you a panoramic view of any room. If you own the Mini, you can buy the mount separately from the camera bundle.
There are speaker deals.
A lot of different speakers and smart displays have been tested by us. You can read the guide for more devices powered by Amazon's voice assistant. If you want to read more about smart speakers and displays, check out our guides.
The Echo studio has 350 watt of power, a downward-firing sub, an upward-firing speaker, and two side facing ones. The sound will be adjusted according to the space. You can purchase two of these and use them together. We have tips on how to keep your privacy.
Amazon has not yet released a successor to its flagship smart speaker. The Best Overall title is still held by the Echo. It's compact, which makes it a great addition to any room in the house, and it has robust sound.
A custom full-range driver for improved sound and a sensor that can be used to perform a task based on the room's temperature are included in the latest Echo Dot. If you want to play music, this is not the best option. You can dismiss a timer by simply tapping the top of the dot. The new clock is on sale for $30 off.
The new kids' version of the Echo Dot has the same features as the standard one. The designs are an owl and a dragon. You will have access to parental controls and a year of Amazon Kids+.
We love the Amazon Echo Show 8. The 8-inch screen is large enough for making video calls, reading recipes, and streaming content. It's perfect for your kitchen counter or nightstand. There is a switch that cuts power to the camera and microphone.
If you want a bigger screen, the Echo Show 10 has a 10-inch smart display that can follow you while you're on a video call or watching a recipe. The audio quality will be better.
The small screen of the Echo Show 5 makes it difficult to navigate. If you want a small smart display for your nightstand, it's a good option. There is a camera shutter and a physical button. This is still a good deal even though it dipped during the Prime Early Access sale.
This is the largest Echo smart display to date. To-do lists, calendars, shopping lists, support for picture-in- picture mode, and more can be found on the new home screen. It can be used to show art and family photos. You can turn the camera and mics off for privacy. We have yet to test it.
This is still a great deal, even though these buds have dipped to this price before. They are easy to pair, have good sound, and come with a wireless charging case. You'll have an assistant in your ear to help you with whatever you're doing. Touch controls can be triggered by sweaty hair and noise cancellation is not the best.
