It's a seven-inch waterproof e-reader with a glare-free display that also supports a full spectrum of color. It also packs an auto-adjusting front light, eight weeks of battery life, 32GB of storage, and wireless charging. And did we mention there's no lockscreen ads? As of Feb. 7, it's got only its second-ever discount at Amazon. Snag it for just $229.99 instead of its usual $279.99. That's 18% in savings.

They also happen to deliver excellent battery life, rich sound, and "perfectly good ANC," according to our reviewer Sam Mangino. They usually cost $429, but as of Feb. 7, you can slash 19% off and pick up a pair for $349 at Amazon. Read our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones. Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Luna controller $49.99 at Amazon $69.99 Save $20.00 Get Deal The Luna controller is a gamepad designed specifically for use with Amazon Luna. Although it's technically optional for the Luna gaming experience, our friends over at PCMag (also owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) consider it a "must-have." It has a separate WiFi connection that reduces input lag as you play and streamlines the whole cloud gaming experience. It's usually $69.99, but is down to $49.99 as of Feb. 7. It also comes with a free month of Luna+ for newbies. Opens in a new window Credit: Kindle Kindle Paperwhite $134.99 at Amazon $159.99 Save $25.00 Get Deal Mashable's resident Kindle expert Sam Mangino considers the latest Kindle Paperwhite not only the best Kindle, but "the best e-reader overall." It dropped in October alongside the new Colorsoft with some long-awaited upgrades. It's compact and lightweight, waterproof, features a responsive interface with adjustable warmth that's good for your eyes, and is the fastest Kindle yet. It's on sale for only $134.99, down 16% from $159.99, as of Feb. 7. That's just $5 shy of its best price ever. Read our full review of the Kindle Paperwhite (2024). Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Echo Buds with ANC $54.99 at Amazon $139.99 Save $85.00 Get Deal When the third-generation Echo Buds dropped in 2023, the 2021 Echo Buds became the "Echo Buds with ANC." While they're a handful of years old, they still hold up with a comfortable build, effective noise cancellation, and solid sound quality. The battery life is just average, but if you're looking for budget earbuds that can quiet the noise around you, they're basically a no-brainer. "It's not unusual for Amazon's self-made products to come in at cheaper prices than the competition, but in this case, the product's quality is high enough to bring serious value," Mashable's Alex Perry writes in his review. Usually $139.99, the buds are on sale for only $54.99 at Amazon as of Feb. 7. That's 61% in savings. Read our full review of the Echo Buds with ANC. None of these deals catching your eye?
