Bunches of Amazon devices are back down to their Prime Day prices today

Today's Dealmaster is headlined by a wide range of deals on Amazon Echo, Fire, Kindle, and Fire TV devices, almost all of which equal the deal prices we saw during Amazon Prime Day last week. Kohl's and Best Buy appear to have the largest collection of deals available, but a handful are also live at other retailers including The Home Depot, B&H, and Target. (Amazon, meanwhile, is not matching the discounts on its own storefront.) Best Buy's landing page says its sale will end at 11:59pm CT on October 22.
You can find our full list of the most noteworthy deals in the sale below, but the highlights include Amazon's Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 tablets available for $55 and $80, respectively. Both deals match the all-time lowest prices that were available on Prime Day. We've detailed the Fire HD line before, but in general it remains a solid value for those who want an competent tablet for as low a cost as possible. You'll have to deal with a heavily customized version of Android that doesn't support Google apps by default, although there are ways around that. But the hardware itself is comfortable and quick enough for light reading, video viewing, and Web browsing.
A Fire HD 8 Plus adds a USB-C port, an extra GB of RAM (3GB in total), and wireless charging to the 8-inch slate, while the Kids Edition models continue to provide a more durable design and a year's subscription to Amazon's Kids+ (formerly FreeTime Unlimited), which is a library of child-friendly books, shows, and apps. All of those are back at their Prime Day discounts-and thus lowest prices to date-as well.
