Echo Dot
$30 ($50)
The Echo Dot is Amazon's compact smart speaker that comes equipped with the Alexa voice assistant. The third generation brought improved speaker quality and volume, and if you're looking for stereo sound, you can pair it with a second Dot. With the Echo, you can use voice control with your music and alarms, ask it to read you the news or weather, make hands-free phone calls, and much more.

Echo (3rd Gen)
$75 ($140) with four months of Amazon Music Unlimited
The regular Echo is a bigger smart speaker that features better sound than the Dot, boasting improved Dolby speakers with 360-degree audio and better bass--and it does everything the Dot can do. This particular bundle is actually $10 cheaper than a standalone Echo. For $75, you get four months of Amazon Music Unlimited, the company's music-streaming service that features a huge library of artists.

Echo Plus (2nd Gen)
$120 ($150) with four months of Amazon Music Unlimited or a Philips Hue bulb
The Echo Plus is just like the regular Echo before it, though this particular device includes a Zigbee hub that gives you the ability to control compatible devices throughout your home. Zigbee is a communication protocol that many smart home devices use, including Philips Hue smart bulbs, Samsung's SmartThings line of devices, and much more. For the same price as the Echo Plus alone, you can get four months of Amazon Music Unlimited or a Philips Hue bulb bundled with it.

Kindle Paperwhite
$95 for 8GB or $120 for 32GB ($130/$160)
The Kindle Paperwhite is Amazon's most popular e-reader, and the one you should absolutely go for if you're looking to purchase a Kindle device. The screen is easy on the eyes and flush with the front of the device, displaying your books on a glare-free screen that's suitable for reading in any situation--inside or outside, in the dark or in the sun. I personally love my Kindle Paperwhite as it makes for an easy way to read books in bed.

Echo Show 5
$65 ($90) with four months of Amazon Music Unlimited
The Echo Show line of devices is like the Echo speaker series, except they all feature touchscreen displays--the Echo Show 5's screen comes in at 5.5 inches. This means the Echo Show doesn't only tell you what you want to know; it can also show you. This includes your calendar, food recipes, and friends via video calls. Of course, it also comes with everything the Alexa voice assistant can do. For $65--the same price as the Echo Show 5 on its own--you get four months of Amazon Music Unlimited.

The Echo Show 8 is the next step up in Amazon's Show line. This device comes with an eight-inch screen and boasts all of the same features as its predecessor. It's simple: if you want a bigger screen, then this is the Show to go with. And like the Show 5, you can get four months of Amazon Music Unlimited for no extra charge.
