Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 17, and Amazon is knocking down prices on many of its house brand products. And whether you’re buying for your father or yourself, you can save on many Amazon Echo, Fire TV and Tablet, Kindle, and Cloud Cam electronics until 11:59 p.m. EST on June 16.

We picked select items from each brand, but if what you want isn’t here, check out the Amazon Device Deals page to see the entire selection. If you want to get free Prime shipping in time for Father’s Day you’ll need to order by or before 11:59 p.m Thursday, June 14.

Amazon Echo

If you want to introduce Dad to Amazon’s Alexa smart voice assistant, here’s a chance to start at less than full retail. And if you’ve wanted to add additional Alexa devices to your own home, this sale comes at a good time. Amazon often discounts Echo products individually, but this sale includes a wide selection of Alexa-connected devices.

Echo Dot: list price $50, sale price $40, save 20 percent

The Amazon Echo was the first Alexa device, but the much lower-priced Echo Dot introduced Alexa to millions of people and is easily the best-selling smart home voice assistant device. Many people choose to have multiple Dots in their home for easier access. Use the Dot to ask Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, answer questions, or read the news.

Amazon Echo (2nd generation): list price $100, sale price $80, save 20 percent

The Amazon Echo was the original Alexa device and still has the best audio output. Echo originally sold for as much as $200, but the smart speaker continues to add features while Amazon reduces the price. If you want good sounding music, the Echo is less expensive and in most cases sounds better than buying a Dot and a separate Bluetooth speaker.

Amazon Kindle vs. Kindle Paperwhite: Which Prime Day deal is better?
A view of a Kindle on top of a book next to some spectacles.

The Amazon Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite are two of the most popular e-book readers for a reason -- they're both excellent. They both enjoy the latest generation of low power displays, long battery life, Bluetooth support, and built-in lighting for nighttime reading, and now with great Prime Day deals, they're both more affordable than ever. If you snatch them up right now, the Kindle is just $60, and the Kindle Paperwhite just $85, saving you $30 and $45 apiece -- two of the best Prime Day Kindle deals we've seen so far.

If you're an avid reader and want to save some space or streamline your reading collection into a much more compact form, one of these e-book readers can be a great way to do it. For all the great features they share though, there are some that make them stand apart. With a slightly more premium price tag, are the Paperwhite's more premium features worth paying for?

Amazon Kindle Oasis vs. Kindle Paperwhite: Which Prime Day deal is better?
Kindle Oasis (2019) Review

Prime Day deals are coming hot and fast, whether you're buying a new laptop or an e-book reader. Picking the right device to read your next favorite novel on isn't easy. Both the Kindle Oasis and Kindle Paperwhite are fantastic e-book readers, with excellent features. They both enjoy waterproofing, expansive storage, front lighting for nighttime reading, and great screen clarity.

If you just want to buy the device with the biggest price cut, then the choice is obvious, but if you want to buy the right Kindle deal for you this Prime Day, here's a more in-depth look at both devices.

Amazon drops crazy Echo Dot deal foreshadowing best Prime Day yet
amazon echo dot sengled smart light  3rd generation sandstone with 2 bulb kit by 03

Prime Day 2020 hasn't started yet, but Amazon has already hinted that it's going to be its best one yet. How? Because it has just kicked off an utterly ridiculous Prime Day Amazon Echo deal that sees the Echo Dot (3rd Gen) on sale for just $19 -- down a $31 from the usual $50. Pricing aside, what's interesting here it has been to date, beating the discount we saw on Black Friday by $3.

If the rainforest-named retailer takes that same approach for the million-odd items that will be on sale tomorrow, we're certainly in for a treat. In fact, we already know that'll be the case. Confirming the Prime Day 2020 date at the end of September, Amazon told Digital Trends that items discounted on Prime Day 2020 won't be cheaper on Black Friday 2020 or Cyber Monday 2020.
What does this Echo Dot deal mean for Prime Day 2020?
Looking at some of the other Amazon device deals the e-commerce titan launched today, one thing is clear: It isn't playing around when it comes to discounts. We've seen the Amazon Echo Studio discounted from $200 down to just $150, the fan-favorite Fire HD 10 tablet on sale for just $80 from $150, and Fire TV Recast (500GB) in the bargain bin at $100 below sticker.
