It’s time for another round of Prime Day (dubbed the Prime Early Access Sale, which ends Oct. 12), and while Amazon should be your one-stop-shop for thousands of deals, the discounts it’s placed on its own hardware are exceptional. You can get Echo speakers, Fire Tablets, Kindles, and a long list of other high-tech devices at their lowest prices of the year once again. These deals are so good that we don’t expect them to last very long, so you should scoop them up now while you’ve got the chance.
(If you’re looking for more new discounts, we have you covered with our list of the best Prime Day deals, updated daily.)
What Are the Best Amazon Device Discounts for Prime Day?
From the newest Echo Dot release to excellent deals on the Kindle Paperwhite, here are some of the best Prime Day deals for Amazon devices that every Prime member should know before the Prime Early Access Sale event ends.

Best Echo Dot Deal

The best Prime Day smart speaker deal we’ve found is this discount on the newest Echo Dot (5th Gen) and the eero mesh WiFi router. The speaker features an ergonomic dome shape and is the newest Echo Dot available, ready to preorder now before it’s available on Oct. 20.
The bundle saves you about $19 instead of buying each one on your own, and thanks to the router, you can get up to 2,500 square feet of of coverage at home thanks to the bundle.
Want to save 25% with a trade-in promotion? You might be able to get a discount when you preorder the new Echo Dot (5th Gen) on its own right now. (You can also still get the Echo Dot (4th Gen) for a 50% discount at the time of this writing.)
Best Amazon Echo Show Deal
The Amazon Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) deal stands out because it was only released last year. It’s smaller than the Echo Show 8 or 10, but for under $35, you’re getting an incredible value. Its small size makes it the perfect smart speaker with a screen to keep on your bedside table or desk. You can place or accept video calls on popular services like Zoom with just a couple of taps, and have full access to Amazon’s Alexa.
The biggest benefit to using an Echo with a screen is that you can see Alexa’s answers in addition to hearing them. Asking for a weekly forecast will show you the highs, lows, and weather conditions for each week. It’s easier to see this information at a glance rather than waiting for Alexa to speak.
Best Ring Video Doorbell Deal

Save up to $80 on this Ring video doorbell bundle with the Ring Stick Up Cam Battery for the Prime Early Access Sale. The doorbell lets you see who’s at your door via 1080p HD video. Plus, you can even talk to visitors and hear what’s happening, even when you’re not home, thanks to the Ring app on your smartphone. It connects to other Amazon devices that have built-in Alexa assistance. It also features improved night vision, as well as built-in motion sensors that can send you notifications in real time. The Ring is discounted by 40% for the second Prime Day, so don’t wait to get this steep discount before the event ends.

Best Kindle Deal
Amazon’s All-New Kindle Paperwhite (on sale for $99.99 for the second Prime Day) is the best e-reader for most people, and it comes with three months of Kindle Unlimited included during Amazon’s current sale.
The Paperwhite’s high-resolution e-ink screen makes digital type look like text, and won’t show a glare in the sun like the LCD screen on a phone or tablet. The e-reader has enough storage to hold hundreds of books, and a battery that lasts weeks if you read for a half-hour each day.
Amazon updated the Kindle Paperwhite recently, and its new design includes a longer battery and bigger screen, which makes the reading experience so much better. If you read a lot, and want to take your entire library with you everywhere, the Kindle Paperwhite is the right tool.
Best Echo Buds Deal
Amazon released its Echo Buds (2nd Gen) in 2021, and you can save 25% by trading in any other Amazon Echo device. Even better, they’re also discounted up to $50 off for Amazon’s Prime Day event. (That’s up to 61% if you take advantage of the trade-in program.)
The Echo Buds not only sound great but make it easy to access Alexa, Amazon’s smart assistant to operate them hands-free. You can switch tracks, request songs, adjust the volume, or even control smart-home accessories in your home directly from the headphones.
This lack of distraction can help you focus on your workout instead of futzing around with your phone.
Best Fire TV Deal
The Fire TV Stick 4K is one of Amazon’s newest premium media streamers, and it’s just $24.99 right now, which is $25 cheaper than normal.
Despite its size, the Fire TV Stick 4K can stream Ultra HD video, and supports Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, the latest high-end audio and video technologies. Its app library is huge, allowing you to stream your favorite songs, TV shows, and movies on the streaming services you want to use.
The device also comes bundled with the Alexa Remote, which lets you use Amazon’s smart assistant to find the content you want to watch without pushing a bunch of buttons. At this price, no other media streamer comes close to delivering the same level of performance or value.
Best Fire Tablet Deal
Amazon’s Fire HD 8 has always been the best tablet you can get under $100, but it’s now available for just $44.99, a 50 percent discount (or save 20 percent with the trade-in program).
The backpack-friendly tablet is an incredibly convenient device for watching movies, listening to music, or reading Kindle books. It comes with 32GB of storage, but you can add more by popping in a MicroSD Card, which is a feature most tablets don’t have anymore.
Amazon says the Fire HD 8 can last up to 12 hours per charge, and supports fast charging, so you don’t need to leave it plugged in for very long when the battery is drained. You should have no problem using this tablet throughout an entire cross-continental trip.
If you’ve been considering getting a tablet for casual use at home, or want to take a bigger screen with you on trips without lugging a laptop, don’t miss this deal.
Best Amazon Halo Band Deal
One of Amazon’s most interesting deals is its $30 discount on the Halo Band. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on the Halo Band this fall, and the deal gets you the Amazon Halo Band in your choice of three sizes and three colors for under $40.
The Halo is Amazon’s fitness tracker, and it monitors everything from your activity and movement (think not just steps but the quality of your movement), to heart rate, calories burned and sleep score. The Halo Band also measures body fat percentage, a better indicator of health than weight or BMI alone.
Regularly $99.99, Amazon’s Halo early Prime Day deal gets you the Halo View for just $44.99 — you’ll need to be a Prime member to access this deal. This is the best fitness tracker Prime Day deal under $50, and your purchase not only includes the device, but also includes six months of Halo membership for free.
Amazon Fire TV Omni Series
Amazon’s 50-Inch Fire TV Television makes for an ideal set for a bedroom, home theater, or living room. Normally $509.99, this set is just $399.99 right now, a savings of $110 at checkout.
The 4K TV checks all the right boxes: It has three HDMI ports for maximum connectivity options, Dolby Digital Plus audio support, and a thin, light design. Its standout feature is that it runs the same software Amazon developed for its Fire TV media streamers. This means you can use its built-in apps to watch movies and TV shows, or listen to music quickly and easily.
The TV comes with Amazon’s Alexa remote, which allows you to use the smart assistant to turn the set on and off, adjust the volume, or go directly to the show or movie you’re looking for. If you need a TV in this size class, you won’t find a better deal than this.
Best Fire TV Cube Deal

Take 50% off Amazon’s top-rated Fire TV Cube for the Prime Early Access Sale today. You’d usually spend nearly $120 on the voice-controllable media player, but right now you can pick it up for $60 off the retail price for as low as $59.99 today. It connects to your smart TV and works with Amazon’s Alexa, so you can simply use your voice to control what you watch, or if you want to change the channel — all hands-free.
