Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days even is almost here, but there are already some big discounts on Amazon devices. Here are some of the best.

While Amazon Prime Day used to be a one-company show, several other retailers have started to offer deals that are just as good in recent years. Best Buy, Walmart, Samsung, Dell, HP, and many others are all likely to hold excellent rival sales. In some cases, I'd even recommend these alternative retailers depending on what you're looking for.

Amazon has held a second Prime Day of sorts in October and that sale event is coming back this year, too. Prime Big Deal Days returns on October 8 and 9, but we’re already starting to see some decent deals pop up across Amazon’s site.

The Kindle Paperwhite, our top pick for reading outside, is finally back on sale as part of an essentials bundle. It comes with a fabric case and a power adapter all for just $134
