The best Amazon Black Friday deals include up to 56 percent off Kindles, Echo speakers, Ring doorbells, Blink cameras and more

There are two (well, technically, three) optimal times of the year to pick up Echo speakers, Kindle ereaders and other Amazon devices: Amazon Prime Day (now multiple days) and Black Friday. While Amazon likes to save its steepest discounts for its members-only shopping event, it's a safe bet that we'll see the same deals (or similar ones) during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This year, we're seeing some of the best prices of the year on all things Amazon, so now's the time to buy if you want to beef up your smart home ecosystem or pick up a gadget as a gift this year. These are the best deals you can get on Amazon devices for Black Friday 2024. Echo for 55 ( 45 off): We consider this to be the best smart speaker for 100 or less at the moment thanks to its loud audio with good bass quality, the ability to pair two together for stereo sound and Alexa's utility.
