You and your family deserve time to kick back after the chaos settles down from school runs. Once the Fire TV Stick 4K and your TV are synced, you’ll have access to hundreds of streaming apps and channels, including Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Disney+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Starz, Showtime and more. There's even an Alexa voice assistant, so you can flip channels using just your voice.
"If you get this new Fire Stick, forget cable," one savvy Amazon shopper shared. "I love this new Fire Stick. I need one for each room. It has more features and stations that are free and come with the Fire Stick."
Want to catch up on your reading? The Kindle holds all your purchased books but weighs just six ounces. It also grants you access to Amazon’s Kindle library, where you can shop thousands of titles and have them delivered straight to your e-reader. Made with a 167ppi screen, it'll alow you to read in crystal clear contrast.
"I love this Kindle," said a five-star reviewer. "It's REALLY lightweight, which I appreciate. It's responsive. When the Kindle is in sleep mode, you can choose to have the book you're currently reading as the sleep mode Lock Screen, which is a thoughtful touch and makes it feel more book-like."
Let's be honest: You deserve a break. The Omni Series TV is here to help — and it has an integrated hands-free Alexa voice assistant. So, you can say things like, "Alexa, turn on the TV," without having to touch anything. And, at $130 off, this price is a total steal.
"This TV is amazing!" said a happy customer. "I'm blown away by this TV's picture. The setup was easy."
There's a lot to keep track of right now. The Echo Show 15 looks like a small flatscreen TV and easily mounts to your wall — and it can house your calendar in an easy-to-view spot. Thanks to built-in Alexa, it also doubles as a mini entertainment hub. Access videos, TV shows, movies or the news with Prime Video, Hulu, NBC and more, plus listen to internet radio stations, podcasts and audiobooks via Amazon Music, Spotify and Audible. And how's this for a bonus: You'll also get an Echo Show 5 with this purchase!
"I love the digital post-it note feature. You just say 'Alexa, make a post-it note' then tell it what you want it to say, and it pins it up with your widgets," said a happy customer. "You can also go into art mode and pick from many preinstalled pieces, or let it cycle through works of art. ...Overall I love this device, and will be buying more to install throughout the house. This one is a home run."
Enjoy 32 GB of memory, along with speeds up to 30% faster thanks to a new 2.0 GHz octa-core processor. You'll enjoy up to 12 hours of reading, video viewership and listening to music on one charge.
"For the price I paid, I can't believe what I received. I've had many tablets in the past, made by Samsung and Apple as well as others. And this Fire HD, which marks the first time I bought a Kindle Fire tablet, is among my favorites of all time," a happy customer said. "BTW, it arrived looking spotless and brand-new."
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).
