With Black Friday behind us, it's time for Cyber Monday deals — and Amazon is mostly just extending the deals it kicked off on Black Friday (and the days leading up to it). However, some items are running out of stock. We'll keep updating this post as we spot changes.

Bose headphones and Roku streamers are offering some of the better value savings at the moment. Plus, you'll find some of the best prices of the year (or, at least since Prime Day) on Amazon's own devices including the Amazon Echo, Fire tablet, Fire TV and Kindle — and other top-notch gadgets, too. You've also got the Kids editions of each Amazon device doing their best to get the little bundles of joy involved in all the discount shenanigans.

And don't forget Kindle books; hundreds are on sale for up to 80 percent off.

Updated: Deals and availability confirmed on Monday, Nov. 26 at 2:15 p.m. PT.

Here's what you need to know:

  • Amazon's deals are live, with certain time-based Lightning Deals happening throughout the day.
  • Before you buy anything at Amazon today, see if it's eligible for Target's 15% off offer.
  • We've put the newest and/or most notable sale items at the top of the list.
  • Note that CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page

Notable new deals at Amazon

These Bose wireless headphones and wireless speakers are available elsewhere, too, but we're calling them out because they're great-sounding products available at a good discount. And don't miss the just-added Samsung Galaxy S9 bundle:

Samsung Galaxy S9 (unlocked, 64GB) with Echo (second-generation) and Echo Spot: $520 (save $418)

Amazon

The Galaxy S9 by itself is a sweet deal at $520, but Amazon throwing in an Echo and an Echo Spot? Weird… but we'll take it! You also have the option of choosing an Echo Show (second-gen) as your freebie.

Bose SoundSport Free: $169 at Walmart, Amazon and other retailers ($30 off)

Sarah Tew/CNET

Bose SoundLink Micro Bluetooth speaker for $69: $30 off at Amazon

Sarah Tew/CNET

OK fine, it's not a pair of headphones, but it still plays damn fine music and you can always hold two against your head like actual headphones if that makes you feel better.

It's $69, waterproof and provides a great sound for such a small speaker.

Amazon device deals still available

OK, now to the Amazon device deals. Here's what you can get right now.

Echo Dot (third-gen): $24 (save $26)

Ben Fox Rubin/CNET

The latest and greatest Dot smart speaker for over 50 percent off? Yes, please.

Heather Gray is the only immediately available color. Charcoal and Sandstone will be in stock on Dec. 4-5.

Echo Dot (second-gen): $20 (save $20)

Taylor Martin/CNET

Last year's Dot is still plenty good, especially at this price. Who cares about a fabric cover?

See at Amazon Echo Dot review

Echo (second-gen): $69 (save $31)

Ian Knighton/CNET

Although QVC briefly had this beat with a two-fer deal (two Echos for $100), a single for $69 is still pretty compelling. At most, Amazon usually cuts $20 off the price. Limited Edition Red will be released on December 5, 2018.

Echo Look: $50 (save $150)

Tyler Lizenby/CNET

Look — Amazon's fashion-minded Echo device hasn't exactly set the world on fire. Because do we need an Alexa-powered selfie camera? Maybe not for $200… but what about for $50?

See at Amazon Echo Look review

Echo Plus (second-gen): $110 (save $40)

Truthfully, this is far from our favorite Amazon Echo product. The Plus adds a Zigbee hub and temperature sensor — decidedly optional items for most homeowners. The straight-up Echo (just $69) may be your better bet.

See at Amazon Echo Plus review

Echo Show (second-gen): $180 (save $50)

Tyler Lizenby/CNET

Though a big improvement over the original, the screen-equipped Echo Show is still a hard sell for some. Maybe a $50 savings makes it more palatable?

Update: Out of stock right now, but you can order it now and it will be available again on Dec. 14.

Echo Spot: $90 (save $40)

Taylor Martin/CNET

The Echo Spot is fine for what it is, but Amazon still hasn't done enough to convince us that Alexa needs a touchscreen at all.

Fire HD 8 tablet $50 ($30 off)

Sarah Tew/CNET

At $30 off this is also well worth a look.

Update, Nov. 26: The item can still be ordered at the discount right now, but it won't be back in stock until Dec. 2.

$50.00 at Amazon

Echo Dot Kids Edition Bundle with Fire 7 Kids Edition: $100 ($70 off)

Sarah Tew/CNET

Great little package, perfect for kids.

Update: Various colors are out of stock until Dec. 4. It can be ordered now for immediate shipment when it's back in stock.

$100.00 at Amazon

Echo Dot Kids Edition Bundle with Fire HD 10 Kids Edition: $180 ($90 off)

Perfect if you're looking to spend a little more on your nearest and dearest.

Update: Various colors are out of stock until Dec. 3. It can be ordered now for immediate shipment when it's back in stock.

$180.00 at Amazon

Ring Video Doorbell 2 with all-new Echo Dot: $139 ($110 off)

Chris Monroe/CNET

Time to take the next step with creating that smart home, might as well get it when its $110 off.

$139.00 at Amazon

Blink XT Cam Systems for up to $150 off

The standard Blink cameras are designed for indoor use, but if you have outdoor areas you want to monitor, look to the Blink XT. Those weather-proofed models are on sale now. Here are your options:

Fire TV Recast 500 GB: $180 ($50 off)

Sarah Tew/CNET

Fire TV Recast is a just-released piece of hardware that acts as a dedicated DVR hub for your media streaming needs. CNET's Ty Pendlebury called it "one of the best cord-cutting companions yet," and starting Nov. 18, you'll find the 500GB version with two tuners marked down to $180, saving you $50.

Need more storage space for Recasted reruns? The 1TB version with four tuners will be marked down to $220, saving you about $60.

Roku Streaming Stick 2018 for $30 (save $20)

Sarah Tew/CNET

If the Fire TV isn't your thing, this Roku is a great substitute. It's got more channels, a cleaner interface and it includes a remote (shown here) that controls your TV's power and volume.

Availability: As of Sunday, Nov. 25, this deal is temporarily out of stock. It can still be ordered, and Amazon will send an email when it can be shipped.

Echo Sub and two Echos (second-gen): $250

Sarah Tew/CNET

The Amazon Echo Sub adds an instant bass upgrade to the Echo line of smart speakers — and you get two of the latter as well, making for a better overall music experience.

Update: As of Friday, Nov. 24 at 9 a.m. PT the bundle price has dropped by another $20 from its earlier sale price of $270 — now $80 off — for the charcoal, heather gray and sandstone colors. All other colors remain $270.

See at Amazon Echo Sub review

Echo Sub and two Echo Plus (second-gen): $330 (save $100)

Amazon

One Echo Sub and two Echo smart speakers make for a great combination. If you want to raise the ante, opt for a pair of Echo Plus instead. They add a temperature sensor and smart-home hub to the mix.

See at Amazon Echo Plus review

Fire TV Stick and Echo Dot (second-gen): $40 (save $40)

For less than the regular price of an Echo Dot alone, you nab both the smart speaker and Amazon's Alexa-imbued streaming stick.

Blink Indoor Cam Systems for up to $116 off

Chris Monroe/CNET

Amazon bought smart home camera startup Blink late last year — this year, it's offering big discounts on Blink Indoor starter kits. Here are your options:

Don't ask me why a single add-on cam costs more than the one-cam starter kit, which also includes the system's hub.

Echo Dot Kids Edition three-pack: $100 ($110 off)

Sarah Tew/CNET

You'll score similar savings on the Echo Dot Kids Edition, with a three-pack selling for just $100. That's $33 each — less than half of what they normally cost.

Echo Show two-pack: $340 ($120 off)

Tyler Lizenby/CNET

Amazon just released a new, second-gen Echo Show touchscreen smart speaker. Starting Friday, you'll be able to buy two of them for $340, which is $120 less than you'd normally pay and $10 less per device than the Black Friday discount on single units.

To get this price you'll need to add both devices to your cart.

Update: As of Nov. 24 at 9 a.m. PT, this will be back in stock Dec. 14.

Echo Spot two-pack: $160 (save $100)

Chris Monroe/CNET

Want a pair of Echo Spots? Amazon will sell you two of them for $160, which is $100 less than you'd normally pay. Single Spots get discounted to $90 starting on Thanksgiving Day, so this deal saves you an extra $20 if you're planning to buy two, anyway.

To get this price you'll need to add both devices to your cart.
