Amazon is running an early holiday kick-off sale on its devices this week. Here are the best deals:

  • BEST KINDLE DEAL: Kindle Paperwhite (10th Gen, 32GB) — $89.99 (save $70)

  • BEST STREAMING DEAL: Fire TV Stick (3rd Gen) with Alexa Voice Remote — $25.99 (save $14)


Those pesky supply chain issues you keep hearing about are set to make availability the main plotline of this year’s Black Friday sales (especially when it comes to big-ticket items like gaming consoles and Apple devices). Plan ahead, though, and you just might be able to score a good deal while you’re at it.

Early birds will enjoy their first major payoff this week as Amazon runs a holiday kick-off sale on its proprietary devices: Starting Oct. 4, you can save on Fire, Kindle, and Echo devices from the past few years. (Pro tip: Don’t wait to hit “purchase” if something catches your eye, because we have no idea how long these offers are scheduled to last.)

We’ve rounded up a list of the must-see markdowns below, but you can always click here to peep the entire sale.
