Amazon’s Prime Day is back for its fall edition, and Amazon Alexa-powered devices are already on sale. But are the sales actually any good?
\n\nThere’s already the question of whether you want Alexa in your house, and now it’s whether the sales are a real discount or more of a mind game. That’s thanks to Amazon raising prices across its device categories at the end of August, leaving us with the same product lineup but a worse case for recommending it.
\n\nIf you’re interested in Amazon’s device sales but want the real picture of what the discount is and which devices are worth it, I’ve got you covered. I’ve been testing Amazon Alexa speakers since they launched in 2012, and I am also WIRED’s resident Kindle expert, which gives me almost too much insight into the price games Amazon plays with these devices. Here’s my full breakdown of all of Amazon's on-sale gadgets and which sales are best, whether it's an Amazon Echo speaker or a Kindle e-reader.
\n\nUpdated October 6, 10am ET: This story has been updated with new deals now that Amazon Prime Day has officially started.
\n\nNot all deals are great, especially given the recent price increases.
