We’ll let you in on a little secret… (Photo: Amazon)

Did you know Amazon has a hidden section devoted to secret sales on its own devices? It’s true!

On any given day, the retail giant adds and removes sales from this secret hub on a handful of Echo smart devices, Fire TV video streamers and Kindle e-readers — and the savings are great! If you’re looking to build out a smart home or just want to read mountains of e-books on one device, you need to know about this page.

And Amazon will give you free shipping too. But if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get so much more — from access to new movies and TV shows, discounts at Whole Foods, exclusive sales and two-day shipping on many, many items. Not yet a member? Let’s fix that: You can sign up for a free 30-day trial here. (And even those without Prime get free shipping on orders of $25 or more).

Check out our favorite finds below, and shop the rest of the secret sales on Amazon devices here.

The Fire HD 8 Plus is currently 50 percent off, making it just $55 down from $110. It’s a great Apple iPad alternative — thanks to its brilliant eight-inch HD display, a lightweight and compact design and affordable price. The latest Fire HD 8 Plus tablet features a sleeker new look, up to 30 percent faster speeds than previous models with a zippier processor, quicker charging with its USB-C port built-in (not featured on the last version) and 12 hours of battery life per charge instead of 10 hours.

In fact, it includes fast and wireless charging, which isn’t even available on the entry-level Fire HD 8 tablet. And its 3GB of memory paired with 32GB of on-board storage is expandable up to a whopping 1TB via microSD card.

It has over 23,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. One said: “I have owned various tablets from Apple and Samsung as well. I just wanted a device I could watch some shows on, read a little (I have a Kindle Oasis that I keep on my night stand) when I am out of the house, listen to occasional music, and can surf the web in lieu of my phone. The Fire 8 Plus checks those boxes. Frankly, as a long time Prime member, it is actually ideal. This device is highly integrated into the Amazon ecosystem. […] It has a solid battery life, good screen, its well made, and its built to do exactly what I needed it to do. […] If you want an inexpensive little entertainment machine though, I don’t think you will find a better addition to your arsenal of tech at a better price than this.”
