Best deals on Amazon devices in the Amazon Spring Sale: Echo Dot, Kindle and more

Amazon is back with yet another multi-day sales event – and this time the deals are available to absolutely everyone, not just Prime members.

Called the Amazon Spring Sale, the event started yesterday evening and will conclude tomorrow at midnight. It promises to see prices slashed across a huge range of products, including technology, home appliances, Apple devices, laptops, air fryers and household essentials. This is the third sale hosted by Amazon in the last 12 months.

As ever, you can count on the IndyBest team to hunt down all of the very best deals and discounts, just for you. We’re expecting to see prices fall just as they do with Amazon’s more-established Prime Day sales.

For this article we’re focusing on discounts for Amazon’s own devices. This includes its Kindle ebook readers, as well as Fire tablets, Echo smart speakers and displays, and Fire Stick TV-streaming dongles.

Best Amazon devices Amazon Spring Sale deals 2023

Amazon’s latest generation of Echo Dot smart speaker is currently reduced by an impressive 45 per cent. It’s available in three colours and is no bigger than the size of a tennis ball but still packs an impressive audio punch thanks to acoustic improvements over its predecessor.

Like all Echo products, the Dot has Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, which can play music, podcasts and radio stations, help set timers and alarms, answer your questions and control smart home devices like lighting. A neat trick of these speakers is how two Echos can be turned into a stereo pair for improved music, or placed in different rooms and used as an Alexa-powered home intercom system.

Here’s a 46 per cent saving on the second-generation Echo Show 8. Like other members of the Show family, this is a smart speaker that can be used to stream content from services like Netflix, Sky News and Spotify. It also has the Alexa voice assistant built in, so you can ask questions, set timers and alarms, ask for recipe ideas and view live footage from Ring video doorbells and security cameras.

The Echo Show 8 has an 8in display and is available in black and grey. There’s also a camera on the front for video calls, which also doubles as a home security camera for while you’re out. A sliding plastic cover ensures the camera can easily be obscured, and the microphone switched off.

This is the old version of the bigger, rounder Echo Dot (was £54.99, now £29.99, Amazon.co.uk), but the smart speaker is still in production. We’re fond of the puck-shaped design, which fits neatly and discreetly into home interiors, and while it’s missing some of the fancier features of its more bulbous successor, it’s basic functionality for music and taking calls is still enough smarts for most.

There’s a built-in camera for video calls, and the home screen includes handy widgets for seeing the local weather forecast, checking out new recipes and leaving notes for other members of your household. It’s basically the 2023 answer to sticking post-it notes on the fridge door.
