Amazon now has two Prime Days per annum, so you might think that they are running out of deals. But that’s not the case. Black Friday deals are plentiful at the world’s biggest retailer, with discounts available on their own devices. To get the best savings, you don’t even need to be Prime member. 

Amazon sells a variety of hardware including Echo smart speakers and Fire tablets, as well as Kindles and Kindles. Many come with Amazon’s smart AI assistant Alexa. This allows you to control your smart home from anywhere, and unify it all by speaking. Many of these deals are cheaper than Prime Day, making it a great time for those who want to gift a Kindle or ring the new year with an Alexa enabled Echo Show.
