Amazon has also discounted several Fire tablets. Even though you can often find it for $60 (a decent deal in itself), the Fire HD 8 is half off at $45. As such, the tablet is currently less expensive than the $50 Fire 7, which has a smaller screen with lower resolution. Meanwhile, Fire HD 8 Plus, which offers wireless charging and 3GB of RAM rather than 2GB, is currently $55. The tablet typically costs $100, but Amazon often drops that to $80.

As for Echo Glow, Amazon's nightlight, you can save $10, as it's down to $20. The lamp doesn't have a built-in microphone or speaker, but you can use a separate Alexa device to select the brightness and color.
