The Verge Guide to Amazon’s October Prime Day event: best deals, tips, and news

For the second year in a row, Amazon is holding a second Prime Day event in the fall. This year’s two-day deal blitz — aka Prime Big Deal Days — is running from today, October 10th, through tomorrow, October 11th, presenting Amazon Prime members with yet another opportunity to get a head start on their holiday shopping before Black Friday and Cyber Monday arrive.

As you might expect, the best deals are on Amazon’s own devices, including Echo smart speakers and displays, Kindles, Fire tablets, and Amazon’s smart TV lineup. However, we’re also seeing steep discounts on other electronics as well, such as noise-canceling earbuds, gaming accessories, smartwatches, laptops, and various smart home accessories (including video doorbells).
