Amazon is never shy about offering promotions on its own devices and, ahead of Father’s Day, the company is taking as much as 50% off its hardware — you can get everything from Echo speakers and Kindle e-readers to security systems, streaming sticks and even Smart TVs with built-in Alexa. The sale offers some of the best prices before the big Prime Day July event. Keep in mind that these current deals are a limited-time offer, so peruse the best of the sale below and snap up any products Dad (or you) will love.

Amazon’s entry-level Kindle doesn’t have all of the features of the Paperwhite or Oasis models, but it’s a fine e-reader for most folks, especially since it has a backlight. At $60, it’s a great buy for any bookworm.

Amazon Smart Security Deals

Though it’s not the fanciest model, the 2020 Ring Video Doorbell is still regarded by us as the best budget-friendly Ring Video Doorbell you can buy, and that’s even more true at 15% off. It’s a decent smart buzzer that has the basic features, though we did find the charging method for it to be annoying in our review.

Amazon’s recently released Smart thermostat was quick to take the title of CNET’s best overall smart thermostat. Though it’s not the most technically advanced, it’s easy to use, well designed and integrates seamlessly with Alexa. It’s 20% off right now, too.
