Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale is coming next week and we’ve already started to see a number of preview deals pop up. Devices like the echo show 5, Fire TV Stick 4K Max other Kindle Paperwhite have been discounted ahead of the event, and we expect to see more deals on Amazon gadgets during the two-day event. You can also pick up either of Samsung’s latest foldables for hundreds of dollars less than usual, or Google’s Pixel 6a for only $349. And if you’re in need of a new robot vacuum, a handful of Roombas are on sale right now, too. Here are the best tech deals from this week that you can still get today.
Kindle Paperwhite
A bunch of Kindle devices are on sale right now, including the Paperwhite Signature Edition for $135 and the standard Kindle Paperwhite for $100. We named the Signature Edition the best e-reader, period, thanks to its bigger, more responsive screen, adjustable brightness and warm light, and its wireless charging capabilities, but the regular Paperwhite doesn’t fall too far behind it. If you can safely skip wireless charging and the auto-adjusting light, the standard Paperwhite is a good pick.
AirPods Pro (1st gen)

The previous generation AirPods Pro have dropped down to $170 at Amazon, which is 32 percent off their usual rate. These are still great earbuds, despite the introduction of the second-gen models a few weeks ago, and we like their solid sound quality, good ANC and comfortable fit.
