If you’re looking to build out a smart home or just want to read mountains of books on one device, you need to know about this page.

Create your own surround system in your home with the Echo Home Entertainment Bundle — it's $100 off right now! This bundle features the Echo Studio plus two Echo smart speakers, allowing you to create rich left/right stereo sound. You can also set these up around your home to pipe in music everywhere. And, of course, these work individually as well.
"Awesome Amazon. Incredible," said a happy customer. "The Dolby Atmos actually sounds like I am sitting in front of two speakers (or more). I had to move it around a little bit to find a sweet spot but it is so nice. Frank Sinatra sounds like he's in the room. The bass is full without distortion unless you crank the volume all the way, the clarity is there. The unit is heavy and substantial. I'll be enjoying this for both my computer content and yours as I have the Dot, Alexa, and Echo Plus."
The Fire TV Blaster works with your TV, cable box, audio receivers or soundbar (along with an Echo and Fire TV device), allowing you to find movies and TV shows with the power of your voice. Just place the device within two feet from your TV, sync it with the Fire TV app and enjoy.
"Very impressed," said a five-star reviewer. "Installation was as simple as could be and product performance is flawless."
The Amazon Eero Pro Mesh Wi-Fi Router helps you get a fast internet connection everywhere in your home without being forced to huddle in one room. Simply connect this Wi-Fi router to your modem and place it in an open space.

"This device is super easy to set up and lightning fast," said a happy shopper. "I was able to stream two 4K movies and three HD movies on five devices at once with no lag. Set everything up in less than 10 minutes."
Want to catch up on your reading? The Kindle holds all your purchased books but weighs just six 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 screen, it'll allow you to read in crystal clear contrast.
"I love this Kindle," said a five-star reviewer. "It's REALLY lightweight, which I appreciate. It's responsive. When the Kindle is in sleep mode, you can choose to have the book you're currently reading as the sleep mode Lock Screen, which is a thoughtful touch and makes it feel more book-like."
Let's be honest: You deserve a break. The Omni Series TV is here to help — and it 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 $130 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 setup was easy."
There's a lot to keep track of right now. The Echo Show 15 looks like a small flatscreen TV and easily mounts to your wall — and it can house your calendar in an easy-to-view spot. Thanks to built-in Alexa, it also 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."
