Did you know Amazon has a hidden section devoted to secret sales on its own devices? It's true! On any given day, the retail giant adds and removes sales from this secret hub on a handful of Echo smart devices, Fire TV video streamers and Kindle e-readers — and the savings are great! If you’re looking to build out a smart home or just want to read mountains of e-books on one device, you need to know about this page.
Check out our favorite finds below.
Book lovers will flip over the Kindle Paperwhite. This waterproof e-reader (which topped our tech editor's list of the best e-readers out there) has a 10-hour battery life and room for thousands of books. Plus, it has a glare-free screen, so it can be used outside in broad daylight.
Once the Fire TV Stick 4K and your TV are synced, you’ll have access to hundreds of streaming apps and channels, including Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Disney+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Starz, Showtime and more. There's even an Alexa voice assistant, so you can flip channels using just your voice.
"If you get this new Fire Stick, forget cable," one savvy Amazon shopper shared. "I love this new Fire Stick. I need one for each room. It has more features and stations that are free and come with the Fire Stick."
The Kindle Paperwhite holds all your purchased books but weighs just 6 ounces. It also grants you access to Amazon’s Kindle library, where you can shop thousands of titles and have them delivered straight to your e-reader. Made with a 167ppi glare-free screen, the Paperwhite offers a display bright enough to mimic the effect of reading from an actual page, without the glare.
"First of all, the display is gorgeous," said a five-star reviewer. "I love how crisp the lettering is and how the pages actually look like real paper. There's barely any glare on the screen when held up in sunlight."
The Omni Series TV has an integrated hands-free Alexa voice assistant. So, you can say things like, "Alexa, turn on the TV," without having to touch anything. And, at $330 off, this price is a total steal.
"This TV is amazing!" said a happy customer. "I'm blown away by this TV's picture. The set-up was easy."
The Echo Show 15 looks like a small flatscreen TV and easily mounts to your wall. And thanks to built-in Alexa, it doubles as a mini entertainment hub. Access videos, TV shows, movies or the news with Prime Video, Hulu, NBC and more, plus listen to internet radio stations, podcasts and audiobooks via Amazon Music, Spotify and Audible. And how's this for a bonus: You'll also get an Echo Show 5 with this purchase!
"I love the digital post it note feature. You just say 'Alexa, make a post it note' then tell it what you want it to say, and it pins it up with your widgets," said a happy customer. "You can also go into art mode, and pick from many preinstalled pieces, or let it cycle through works of art. ...Overall I love this device, and will be buying more to install throughout the house. This one is a home run."
Enjoy 32 GB of memory, along with speeds up to 30% faster thanks to a new 2.0 GHz octa-core processor. You'll enjoy up to 12 hours of reading, video viewership and listening to music on one charge.
"For the price I paid, I can't believe what I received. I've had many tablets in the past, made by Samsung and Apple as well as others. And this Fire HD, which marks the first time I bought a Kindle Fire tablet, is among my favorites of all time," a happy customer said. "BTW, it arrived looking spotless and brand-new."
Just connect any device to these Kasa Wi-Fi Smart Plugs and you can now control them with your phone or just your voice! You can even fiddle with things remotely from anywhere in the world by using the app.
“Hands down, the best smart plugs we’ve purchased and installed,” said one five-star review. “We have them installed throughout our home for all of our lamps, and even had several of our indoor Christmas decorations hooked up to them this past year.... With the pairing to Alexa, it made turning them on and off a breeze with a simple command.... Being able to also control the lights through their app is nice too when you’re out of town so you have even more control of making it appear like you’re home when you’re not.”
