I found 5 Prime Day deals on Kindles, Echos, and Fire TV, starting at $37.99

Prime Day is when Amazon gets generous with its own hardware. I went through the deals and picked five devices worth your money, from a distraction-free e-reader to a 4K streaming stick, with discounts of up to 50%.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (2024) – $169.99 (32% off)

Amazon is offering a huge deal on the Kindle Paperwhite (2024). While the latest model brings good enhancements, you can buy the previous model for less than half the price, which makes it an instant buy in my books.  The Signature Edition packs an auto-adjusting front light, wireless charging, and 32GB of storage, and the $80 discount makes those extras easy to justify. It’s also waterproof, so bath-time reading is fair game.

Fire TV Stick 4K Plus – $37.99 (46% off)

At under $40, this is the cheapest way to breathe new life into an older 4K TV. You get Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos, plus Wi-Fi 6 for smoother streaming in busy homes. Add a controller and Xbox Game Pass, and it doubles as a cloud gaming machine with no console needed.

Echo Dot – $39.99 (50% off)

Half off makes this the biggest discount on the list. Beyond music and timers, built-in motion and temperature sensors can trigger routines, like switching on the lights when you walk in. If you have an eero router, it also works as a mesh extender, adding up to 1,000 sq. ft. of coverage.

Kindle Scribe Colorsoft – $519.99 (24% off)

This is my splurge pick, and it’s as much a digital notebook as it is an e-reader. If you love taking notes, the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is the best Kindle you can buy. The textured screen gives you a pen-on-paper feel, and the included Pen doesn’t require charging. You can mark up documents, take notes on books, and create notebooks to organize your notes. 

Echo Show 11 – $149.99 (40% off)

If you want Alexa with a screen, this is the one to get. The 10.95-inch Full HD touchscreen and 13MP auto-framing camera make it a solid video-calling companion, and the $100 discount is hard to ignore. It also doubles as a smart home hub, so you won’t need a separate one.
