Did you know Amazon has a hidden section devoted to secret sales on its own devices? It's true!
On any given day, the retail giant adds and removes sales from this secret hub on a handful of Echo smart devices, Fire TV video streamers and Kindle e-readers — and the savings are great! If you’re looking to build out a smart home or just want to read mountains of e-books on one device, you need to know about this page.
And Amazon will give you free shipping too. But if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get so much more — from access to new movies and TV shows, discounts at Whole Foods, exclusive sales and two-day shipping on many, many items. Not yet a member? Let's fix that: You can sign up for a free 30-day trial here. (And even those without Prime get free shipping on orders of $25 or more).
Check out our favorite finds below, and shop the rest of the secret sales on Amazon devices here.
Save 50 percent: Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus
The Fire HD 8 Plus is currently 50 percent off, making it just $55 down from $110. It’s a great Apple iPad alternative — thanks to its brilliant eight-inch HD display, a lightweight and compact design and affordable price. The latest Fire HD 8 Plus tablet features a sleeker new look, up to 30 percent faster speeds than previous models with a zippier processor, quicker charging with its USB-C port built-in (not featured on the last version) and 12 hours of battery life per charge instead of 10 hours.
In fact, it includes fast and wireless charging, which isn’t even available on the entry-level Fire HD 8 tablet. And its 3GB of memory paired with 32GB of on-board storage is expandable up to a whopping 1TB via microSD card.
It has over 23,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. One said: “I have owned various tablets from Apple and Samsung as well. I just wanted a device I could watch some shows on, read a little (I have a Kindle Oasis that I keep on my night stand) when I am out of the house, listen to occasional music, and can surf the web in lieu of my phone. The Fire 8 Plus checks those boxes. Frankly, as a long time Prime member, it is actually ideal. This device is highly integrated into the Amazon ecosystem. [...] It has a solid battery life, good screen, its well made, and its built to do exactly what I needed it to do. [...] If you want an inexpensive little entertainment machine though, I don't think you will find a better addition to your arsenal of tech at a better price than this.”
Save 40 percent: Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
The Fire TV Stick 4K streaming device is 40 percent off right now. At a mere $30 it offers thousands of movies and TV episodes from services like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ or Peacock, and it can play music, podcasts or audiobooks. It also elevates the quality of your viewing experience, with an extremely clear picture and provides home theater-level audio.
Many folks love the Fire TV Stick 4K because of its Alexa Voice Remote, which allows you to search, launch shows and control other smart home devices with an easy voice command. It also has over 43,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. One reviewer, who owns three Fire TV Sticks, says it has “opened up a world of possibilities for what to watch.” They also say that “Installation is easy and working the remote is simple.”
Save 31 percent: Amazon Echo Show 8
The second-gen Amazon Echo Show 8 is $50 off right now! Amazon’s smart displays are great for looking up the five-day weather forecast, checking out step-by-step recipes or perusing your daily calendar.
But the latest Echo Show 8 has an even better trick up its sleeve: improved video calling! The 13-megapixel camera will frame and keep you centered automatically during video calls. It’s truly like magic.
Plus, you can watch TV shows and movies from sources such as Prime Video, Netflix and more. You can also use it to listen to music from Amazon Music, Apple Music or Spotify. With over 18,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, it's a clear winner.
Said a shopper: “...I decided to go with this device over the discounted first gen because of the upgraded camera. My primary reasons for wanting it were to be able to watch my favorite shows and YouTube videos while cooking and cleaning and for my kids to be able to video call their grandma whenever they want, pretty simple stuff...Great picture, sound is nice, response time is quick and video call quality is great. The size is perfect, not too big (I don't have a very large kitchen or a ton of counter space) and not too small, definitely better than my phone for watching videos while moving around the kitchen.”
Save up to 30 percent and get a free Echo Dot: Amazon Fire TV 4-Series 4K TV
Did you know Amazon makes TVs too? It's true. The Fire TV 4-Series 4K TVs are on sale right now and you can save $110 on the 43-inch and 50-inch versions and $140 on the 55-inch model. All offer brilliant 4K video quality plus support for HD, HDR 10 and Dolby Digital Plus. You can stream over a million movies and TV shows and subscribe to all of your favorite services such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and more.
As if that weren't enough, this purchase also gets you a free Echo Dot! Just use the promo code FTVDOT22 at checkout.
Said one reviewer: “As a longtime Amazon Fire Stick user on my not-smart TVs, the interface for the 4-Series is familiar and intuitive, as is the remote. The picture is pretty amazing. Very clear and bright, and highly customizable...I can easily get to all my content and have an easy to use experience and great picture quality. Can't ask for much more than that."

Save $50: Amazon Fire TV Cube
Amazon’s Fire TV Cube is now $50 off! The little box has a powerful hexa-core processor that delivers a super-smooth 4K streaming experience. It works with Alexa so you can just use your voice to turn the TV on and change the channels. It also offers videos from all the major services such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and more.
“Super easy to setup,” said one shopper. “Even the Fire Cube TV remote knows how to turn on/off the TV, plus the volume controls on the Fire Cube TV remote work the TV volume perfectly. There was no setup on my end to get the Fire Cube TV remote to work my TV, it just worked out of the box through some sort of magic..."
Save $45: Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition
You already know that the Kindle is one of the best e-readers on the market. But the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is an even better version of the original. It has wireless charging, an auto-adjusting front light plus 32GB of storage. A single charge lasts up to 10 weeks too. Plus, this particular ad-free model is now on sale for $145, down from $190.
“I've owned nearly every iteration of the Paperwhite since its inception (except the Oasis which was far too expensive) and this one finally addresses all the issues with previous models,” said one buyer. “My husband prefers physical books and bought the new Paperwhite for me as a gift but he was so impressed by it that he finally decided to give the Paperwhite a try for the first time and ordered a second one for himself. The warm light, while ugly, really does save your eyes when reading in the dark. No more eye aches from the blue light! Not to mention they finally introduced Dark Mode with white text on black background, which is even better for reading in the dark.”
Save $30: Blink Outdoor camera
The Blink Outdoor camera is currently $30 off! It’s a great solution for those who want a HD security camera to monitor their surroundings but don’t want to hassle with installation. That’s because the Blink cameras are wireless and completely battery-operated! They can actually last up to two years on two AA lithium batteries. The Outdoor version is built to withstand the elements like rain.
“This new camera is better then the Blink xt2 !” said one review. “It has been totally re-engineered. Take it from someone who owns all the different cameras Blink had to offer since day one...Also noticed the sound is much louder and more clear than the other cameras..."
Save 25 percent: Amazon Echo Dot with Clock
Amazon’s spherical Echo Dot (4th gen) with a built-in clock can be yours now for just $45. It has a sleek and compact design that is ideal for your nightstand. It makes a great alarm clock thanks to the bright LED display and timers, plus you can tap the top to snooze. Of course, it has Alexa built-in so it can check the weather, play the news, control your smart home and more.
Said one shopper. “The light ring on the base and digital clock display is brighter and more crisp than the 3rd generation dot. It’s very easy to read. The speakers and microphone are improved as well...Setup was easy. I am considering trading in my older 3rd gen Dots for additional 4th ge Dots..."
