Kindle offers

Amazon’s basic Kindle (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is ours favorite to suggest to most people. It has a 6-inch E Ink touch screen with an integrated front light that makes it easy to read in the dark. However, it’s not as waterproof as the Kindle Paperwhite, and only comes with 8 gigabyte storage.

Like Amazon’s range of Fire tablets for kids, the company’s Kindle Kids Edition in addition The protective cover, two-year warranty, and Amazon Kids + year are free (parents can set reading goals and age filters and add books to their child’s library).

Kindle Paperwhite Kids is a better option if you are looking for something that is a little more durable as it is waterproof. It also comes with a 6.8-inch screen, which is larger than the 6-inch screen on the Kindle Kids.

Fire TV deals

It is one of these The best devices for playing TV. If you’re into Amazon, the Fire TV Stick 4K is a great option because its menus are bent on buying the company’s Prime Video service and buying content from its store. And since it’s a third-generation version, it’s faster than the previous ones.

Don’t have a 4K TV? And you have no interest in making a change? Fire TV Stick Lite works well on standard HD TVs. We’ve tested HD models before and it provides access to all major streaming apps. In addition, Alexa comes equipped with a simpler remote version that doesn’t have all the branded buttons for specific services like Netflix and doesn’t have a TV on or volume control; you will need another application for this. Allows you to control the content using voice commands.

Fire TV Cube is designed to play “hands-free” with Alexa voice search (6/10, WIRED Recommends). He’s struggling with this difficult mission, and many people can be better off with a cheaper Fire TV Stick. Luckily, it comes with a remote. This is the standard discount price.

Echo speaker deals

Amazon’s fourth-generation Echo (8/10, WIRED Recommends) He has the title of best overall in our round The best Amazon Echo and Alexa speakers. The Orb-shaped redesign delivers better sound quality than the previous Echos, especially for larger rooms. It’s a worthwhile option for those looking for a speaker under $ 100.

If the fairy tiger and panda print children’s edition Echo Dot is not enough, it also has parental controls and offers excellent sound quality. Amazon Kids + also includes a free year, giving you access to games, audiobooks, and other additional features.

Second Generation Echo Buds (8/10, WIRED Recommends) come with significant improvements in the first iteration. The new Echo Buds feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), a more comfortable ergonomic adjustment, and improved microphones for Alexa voice controls, making them perfect for use in loud settings. Or you can choose Echo Buds with a wireless charging box for $ 90 ($ 50 discount).

Echo Glow da technically intelligent night light, but its features do not go beyond the ability to change from one color to another and adjust the brightness, with controls through the Alexa assistant app. However, its small footprint and fun tones (like Disco and Underwater) are a nice addition to children’s bedrooms. But without a built-in microphone, you’ll need to connect to a compatible Alexa-enabled device to control it via voice commands.

Fire Tablet offers

We consider Fire HD 8 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) an excellent and very basic tablet. It has a fast processor, 2 gigabytes of RAM and a long battery life. And its compact size is perfect for traveling. This version has 32 gigabytes, but you can also get a 64 gigabyte version for $ 75.

We crowned Fire HD 10 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) du The best fire tablet and our favorite budget tablet. It has not only the fastest of Amazon’s full range of tablets, but also the largest 10-inch screen (with a higher brightness than last year’s model). The base model includes 32 gigabytes of storage, but you can also do the option 64 gigabyte model for $ 115 ($ 75 discount).

For a little more money than the base Fire HD 10 model, the HD 10 Plus (32 gigabytes) comes with more features, including wireless charging, 4 gigabytes of RAM (3 gigabytes in the Fire HD 10), and a smooth-touch finish. Need more storage? The A 64 gigabyte version is also on sale for $ 145 ($ 75 discount).

We believe the Fire HD 8 Kids is the best tablet for kids for a number of reasons. It has the same features as regular Fire tablets, with a heavy wallet and a two-year warranty in case of unexpected falls. As with Echo Dot Kids, you’ll get one year of Amazon Kids + for free.

Amazon’s Kids Tablet Pro version is a better choice for those with an older child. The HD 8 is larger than the Kids tablet, allows you to install apps from a Kids app store (while allowing you to access parental controls), and the wallet isn’t as intense.
