Amazon device deals, sorted from the damn permanent sale

Amazon's own gadgets are discounted so often that full price has become a rumour. An Echo or a Fire TV Stick seems to be on "sale" most weeks of the year, which makes the badge close to meaningless — but it also means genuinely low prices come around more often here than almost anywhere. The trick is telling a real low from the usual discount, and that is exactly the comparison we make.

How we score Amazon devices

Because these devices discount so routinely, the ordinary sale price is already baked into their 90-day history, so a device has to fall meaningfully below where it has actually been selling to score well. This department gets a higher minimum drop than most for the same reason. Every device is judged against its own history — a Kindle against that Kindle, not against the lineup — and bundles are separate listings scored on their own.
