Black Friday 2023: The best Amazon deals on Echo Shows, Ring doorbells, Fire TVs, Kindles and more
Save big on nearly all Amazon devices, including Fire tablets, streaming sticks and Echo smart speakers.
[Editor’s note: We’re updating our coverage daily, so check out today’s best Amazon device Black Friday deals here! The original story is below.]
Well, here we are again, another Amazon Prime Day. [Checks calendar.] Whoops, I mean another Black Friday — it just feels like Prime Day over at Amazon, where you'll find significant discounts on nearly all the company's devices: Fire TVs and tablets, Kindle e-readers, Echo smart speakers and so on. (And these are just a fraction of the overall best Black Friday deals at Amazon.)
Yes, Amazon devices go on sale all the time, so you might be feeling a little "meh" about this. But some of these deals rival the lowest prices on record, and a few are actually historic lows. I mean, an Echo Show 8 smart screen for $50? When it lists for $130? Nothing "meh" about that.
Take note that a handful of these deals — like that Echo Show 8 — are available only to Amazon Prime subscribers. Not yet a member? No problem: You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here.
A smart speaker can make a great addition to your nightstand, giving a morning news briefing, a nighttime meditation, some music while you're getting dressed and so on. It's all controlled by your voice and Amazon's Alexa smart assistant. The Dot is fairly small, so it's not the pick if you want big sound, but at $23 it's an incredibly good deal on an incredibly versatile device.

Space doesn't permit me to list all the things you can do with the Echo Show 8, but I'll give you the highlights: music, movies and TV shows, YouTube videos, video calls, photo slideshows and live feeds from security cameras. And that's just the stuff involving the screen; you can also use Alexa voice commands for a zillion other functions. This is the lowest price on record for Amazon's 8-inch smart screen, though you need to be a Prime subscriber to get it.

If you want a smart speaker that can really fill a room with music (unlike the dinky Echo Dot), look no further than the Echo Studio. It's not only the largest Alexa-powered speaker in Amazon's lineup, it's also the most robust: five directional speakers, Dolby Atmos, spatial audio and more. The Studio can act as a smart-home hub, too, as it supports both Matter and Zigbee devices. This deal ties the lowest price on record.

Amazon's biggest and best tablet to date offers many of the same features and capabilities as the iPad 10.9, which costs twice as much. (Actually, with this sale, more than twice as much.) With some interface polish and support for more Android apps, it would be even better — but it's still a hell of a tablet for the money.

Ready for a streaming upgrade? Plug Amazon's most powerful Fire TV Stick into your TV and reap the benefits of Wi-Fi 6E support (for the fastest possible connectivity), Dolby Atmos audio and Amazon's Ambient Experience, which turns your TV into an art gallery (or digital photo frame) when you're not watching Stranger Things. This is the lowest price to date for the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, lower even than last Prime Day.

Standard Kindles are just for reading e-books. The Scribe is a digital notebook as well, with a spacious screen and comfortable stylus for jotting notes, sketches, lists and more. You can even mark up PDFs. This is the lowest price on record for Amazon's first Kindle you can write on; here's my Kindle Scribe review so you can learn more about it.
Begone, porch pirates! (Or, at least, be-captured-on-video for the police to see.) Ring's incredibly popular 1080p video doorbell can run off an included rechargeable battery or use existing doorbell wiring. That battery option makes it a particularly good fit for apartments. Just take note that you'll need a Ring Protect Plan subscription (starting at $4 per month) to make the most of it.
