Featured Deals:
Kindle Deals:
The 12th-gen Paperwhite, which we highly recommend, is the standout Kindle in the lineup. It boasts a large high-resolution display, smooth performance, warm lighting, and an IPX8 water-resistance rating. The latest version offers the highest contrast ratio of any Kindle, sharper text and images, and up to three months of battery life. The Signature Edition is also discounted, offering features like auto-adjust brightness, double the storage, and wireless charging support.
If you’re in the market for a compact and budget-friendly e-reader, the basic Kindle is a fantastic choice. While the 2024 model doesn’t introduce many new features compared to its predecessor, it does offer a higher contrast ratio, a brighter front light, and faster page-turn rate. It is the smallest Kindle, making it comfortable to hold and travel with. Consider opting for the Matcha color for a fun touch.
For young bookworms, the kid-friendly Kindle makes for a great present this holiday season. The Paperwhite Kids model, which features a larger display and waterproof design, is our preference. The basic Kindle Kids model is also available, offering a smaller size and fun covers to choose from. Both models come with Amazon Kids+ and a two-year warranty.
New subscribers can snag three months of Kindle Unlimited for just a dollar. Kindle Unlimited provides access to a vast library of books in various genres, making it an ideal ebook subscription service for Kindles. Remember to cancel the subscription before it renews at $12 per month if you’re not interested.
Fire Tablet Deals:
The Fire Max 11, Amazon’s most powerful tablet, is now available at a much better value, especially with the Productivity Bundle. It offers good performance, a sharp screen, solid speakers, and an all-metal build. The tablet supports Show Mode and has 1080p cameras.
The Fire HD 8 tablet from 2024 boasts improved RAM and a better rear camera compared to its predecessor. It offers the same design, size, and battery life as before, making it a more travel-friendly option. You can choose between 32 GB or 64 GB configurations with expandable storage.
For younger children, the kids’ tablet is a durable option that comes with a rugged case and a worry-free guarantee. It also includes a free year of Amazon Kids+ for access to kid-friendly content.
Smart Speaker Deals:
The fourth-generation Echo, our top pick for Alexa and Amazon speakers, delivers great sound quality and speech recognition. It’s versatile for various uses around the home.
The Echo Dot (5th Gen) is an affordable smart speaker that provides powerful sound in a compact design. It’s a great option for smaller spaces.
The Echo Spot combines a smart speaker with a display, allowing you to view time, alarms, music, weather, and the calendar. It offers customization options and solid sound quality.
For kids, the kid-friendly Echo Dot offers easy-to-use parental controls and fun designs like an owl or a dragon. It includes Amazon Kids+ for access to kid-friendly content.
