Amazon isn’t waiting till November this year to roll out its major deals. With Prime Big Deal Days confirmed for 7-8 October 2025, early discounts are already live on Kindles, Echoes, Fire tablets, and lots of smart-home tech. If you’re planning ahead, now is a prime time to start comparing — some markdowns will deepen, others might not come back once stock runs out.
Here’s what you’ll find so far, what to watch for, and some deals to consider grabbing before Black Friday goes full swing.
What’s Live & Expected
Early Deals or Confirmed Offers What to Watch in October / Black Friday
Amazon Devices (Kindle, Echo, Fire tablets, etc.) Prime members can currently get up to 50% off on select Amazon devices, including Kindle Kids, Fire HD 8 Kids Pro, and bundles like Echo Dot Kids.  Echo Show 5 (2023) has an early discount: was ~$89.99, now ~$64.99 in U.S. sales.  Expect deeper cuts on flagship Kindle models (e.g. Paperwhite, Scribe), Echo smart speakers / displays, and bundles (e.g. Echo + Ring, or multi-speaker packs). TechRadar and AboutAmazon flag those as likely.
Smart-Home & Accessories Bundles involving Ring cameras, doorbells, Alexa-enabled devices are showing up in early deals. Kindle books sales (ebooks) are also included under early promotions.  Larger smart home bundles, last-generation Echo devices, and accessories (cases, chargers, etc.) often see steep discounts. Keep an eye out for “Deal of the Day” style flash offers.
Other Tech & General Products Fire TV sticks, tablets etc. may also see discounted prices as part of early deals, though not always deep. Amazon’s Black Friday / Prime Big Deal Days roundups suggest tech will continue to dominate.  If there’s a product you really want, set up a watch/notification; sometimes price dips are short-lived. Also check RRP vs. actual historical price to make sure the “discount” is real.
Deals You Might Want to Grab Now
If you’re in the market for Kindle or Echo style deals, here are some live or likely-soon-live options. If the discount looks good, they could be worth buying early.
Here are a few highlights:
• Kindle Paperwhite (12th Gen) 16GB – Great for readers: waterproof, long battery life, glare-free screen. If current early deals reach 15-20 % off (or better), it’s a solid pick.
• Echo Dot Smart Speaker (Larger sound) – Good value for a bedroom or kitchen speaker. Large-sound version gives a better audio profile than the basics; if this appears in a bundle, even better.
• Amazon Echo (4th Gen) Premium Sound – More investment, but the premium sound, smart-home hub features, and design make it attractive. If discounted well, one of the bigger “smart speaker” winners.
• Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen) Smart Display – Display + Alexa = good for video calls, recipes, smart-home control. If you want a screen-enabled Echo, this is the one to watch.
• Echo Pop Mini Smart Speaker – Ultra-cheap way to get Alexa in more rooms. If one is already discounted, it’s a good add-on purchase or gift.
Smart Shopping Tips
• Use Price Trackers: Tools like CamelCamelCamel, Keepa etc. help you see the history of Amazon prices. That way you’ll know if the current “deal” is better than typical everyday discounts.
• Prime Membership Helps: Many of the early deals are exclusive to Prime members. If you aren’t a member (or your membership is about to renew), check perks like free trials.
• Bundles Are Often Best Value: Echo + accessories, Ring bundles, etc., often give you better unit prices. If you needed a Ring Doorbell or extra Echo speaker anyway, bundle deals can save more.
• Watch for Lightning / Limited-Time Deals: Some of the steepest discounts vanish quickly. If you see something that meets your needs and the price looks solid, don’t wait too long.
• Check International Versions: If buying outside the U.S., make sure model compatibility, language, power adapter, local warranty etc. are okay. Amazon UK / India etc. might have slightly different model names or specs.
• Set Up Wishlist Alerts: Many platforms (and Amazon itself) allow you to set alerts or offer “watch this product” so you’re notified if price drops.
What to Expect in the Run-Up to Black Friday
• Deeper discounts on flagship Amazon hardware: newer Kindles (Paperwhite / Scribe), Echo Studio etc. likely to get larger % cuts.
• More deals on content: Kindle books, Audible-linked offers, Fire TV content bundles. Amazon often deepens discounts here as the event gets closer.
• Smart home bundles & larger display-enabled Echo devices: they tend to feature heavily in Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals.
• More flash / limited time deals: especially on “deal of the hour” or “deal of the day” style promotions. If you can monitor those, you might pick up a bargain in odd hours.
Bottom Line
If you want Kindle / Echo / Amazon devices, the early deals are already good — some are likely to get better, others may sell out or never be discounted as heavily again. The best strategy is to identify what you really want, compare current price to past prices, and be ready to pull the trigger when it feels like a strong value. With Prime Big Deal Days arriving in early October, followed by Black Friday in late November, you’ve got multiple chances to cross off wishlist items — but timing and smart tracking will make the difference.
