Today's Dealmaster is headlined by another round of deals on various Amazon devices, covering Echo smart speakers and displays, Kindle ebook readers, and Fire TV media streamers. Amazon is promoting these as Father's Day deals, and while most of the offers don't match the all-time low prices we've typically seen on Black Friday or Amazon Prime Day—many are about $5-10 more expensive—there are still a few good discounts worth noting.

You can find our recommended deals below, but the highlights include the latest Kindle Paperwhite, our current pick for the best ebook reader, available for $100. We've seen it drop as low as $85 a couple times in the past, but this deal is still $30 off the waterproof e-reader's usual going rate. The standard Amazon Kindle, meanwhile, is our pick for the best budget ebook reader and is down to $65, which is $5 off the lowest price we've seen. If you have an older 1080p TV that you want to supply with streaming capabilities, the base Fire TV Stick is $10 off at $30, while the 4K- and HDR-capable Fire TV Cube includes Alexa speaker functionality and is $20 off at $100. (Just note that Roku's Premiere and Streaming Stick+ are on sale as well if you don't want to deal with Amazon's busy Fire OS.) Beyond that, several Echo devices are discounted, ranging from the Echo Dot with Clock for a new low of $35 to the bigger and strong-sounding Echo Studio for a new low of $170. While Echo devices can be plenty useful for people looking to build a smart home, we do have to give the caveat that they're designed to collect user data and have the potential to be abused by malicious apps. Per usual, you'll have to weigh any privacy concerns against that utility.

In any event, if you're not interested in Amazon devices, we also have deals on the AirPods Pro, refurbished Sonos speakers, Bose's latest wireless noise-cancelling headphones, Gears 5, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and much more. Have a look for yourself below.
