Best Amazon Prime Day Deals

It’s Amazon Prime Day, two full days of deals on electronics, books, clothes, toys and more. After being pushed back from July (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) Amazon Prime Day has returned.
The two-day shopping event will run from Oct. 13th to the 14th. In order to participate in the deals, you must be an Amazon Prime member. Amazon is currently offering a 30-day free trial for those who sign up to be an Amazon Prime member. This comes with benefits including access to Prime Video, free books via Prime Reading and free music streaming through Amazon Music.
Amazon Prime Day first took place in 2015, and has since been expanded into a two-day event, with thousands of items on sale across the site. The event has become just like a holiday for some — Amazon reported the purchase of 175 million items during Prime Day 2019, which is higher than that year’s sales from Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined.
Especially of interest to many shoppers are Amazon’s Alexa-enabled devices, like the Echo Dot and the Fire TV Stick 4K, which were both discounted nicely during last year’s Prime Day. And, although the pandemic pushed the shopping event back a few months, the shift may have its perks. In April, Reuters reported that because of the delay, Amazon has “five million extra devices it would have expected to sell sooner,” meaning that the best Prime Day deals yet could be on the horizon.

And while you’re at it, consider picking up a silicone case protector, perhaps one with a little pizazz, so you won’t lose them again in the first place!

But if the price tag on the Paperwhite is too steep (coming in at $79.99 for Prime Day when it’s normally $129.99) you can always go with the classic Kindle.
