Amazon Devices Are Already On Mega Sale Even Though It's Not Prime Day

If your college student is a big-time reader, gifting them a Kindle gives them access to unlimited books at a (usually) cheaper price, *and* they can avoid going to the library during this time. (We love libraries, but we know that many are temporarily closed, especially those on college campuses). There’s also less of a risk sharing germs when you have a Kindle versus checking out books. Kindles are easy to use, and the latest version has a built-in light so you can read in the dark while your roommates are sleeping.

With almost 455,00 ratings and 4.7 out of 5 stars, the Echo Dot has proven itself to be a “smart house” essential. Ask it to play music, turn on lights, adjust the thermometer, call people without picking up your phone — the options are endless. If you’ve ever hesitated because of the price, now’s the time to get one.

With your kids probably staying home yet another semester, why not make life a little bit easier and get them tablets they can use for school *and* for entertainment (while you get some much-needed alone time — nobody is judging, certainly not me). The storage on this thing is unbelievable (32/64 GB, depending on what you need), it comes with a 3 GB ram, and its 12-hour battery life means you’re not scrambling to keep it charged at all times. Plus, you can get it in five different colors. Woot!

If you need an Echo that will always display the time, this Echo Dot is similar to the one we show above, but it has the time visible. It all just depends on what you prefer and need out of a smart tool. This too, is on mega sale.

Use this smart TV to stream from Netflix, Disney+, Hulu — you name it. Unlike the old smart TV you have (just me?) this one is incredibly easy to use, (aka, you’re not struggling to toggle back and forth between regular TV and you streaming platforms). If you’ve been thinking about getting a new TV, now’s the time.

This is the perfect device to have in your kitchen while you’re trying to follow a recipe, or catch up with your parents who haven’t seen in what seems like 5,000 years because of the pandemic. It offers seamless communication, entertainment (you can connect with streaming platforms like Hulu, so you can watch Padma Lakshmi’s Taste the Nation while you cook up some stir fry, ask Alexa to show you what’s going on with your security cameras, dim the lights, control the thermostat, and much more).
