Amazon's newest Kindle Paperwhite Kids is $50 off right now Don't let the name fool you — this deal is not just for kids. While the kid-friendly Kindle is great for young readers, it's also an excellent e-reader for any adult. The Kindle Paperwhite Kids pairs the 8GB, ad-free version of the fantastic Kindle Paperwhite from 2021 (complete with its larger, 6.8-inch display and adjustable color temperature) with a case, a two-year warranty, and a year of Amazon Kids Plus. Normally, that package costs $159.99, but it's on sale today for $109.99 at Amazon and Best Buy.   You can take your pick of cute covers, or you can just as easily choose the black cover and completely ignore all the kid-friendly add-ons. In the end, you're getting a great deal on one of the best Kindles available. Read our 2021 Kindle Paperwhite review.

And right now, you can save 30 percent on a couple different combinations to fit your space. The Eero 6 router with two extenders is currently $195 ($84 off) at Amazon, while the same Eero 6 router with just one extender is $139 ($60 off).   Generally speaking, if you have an average-size house, the cheaper deal should adequately cover all corners of your home. The three-pack with one router and two extenders should cover up to 5,000 square feet, but if you have a tricky floor plan that leads to Wi-Fi dead zones, it may not hurt to opt for the extra extender. Regardless, you're going to get Wi-Fi 6 compatibility and Zigbee support, allowing you to easily sync up with other smart home devices. Eero 6 mesh router $195 $279 30% off Prices taken at time of publishing. The Eero 6 mesh router system with two extenders covers up to 5,000 square feet and is good for internet speeds up to 500Mbps; it also supports Zigbee for connecting smart home devices. $195 AT AMAZON (ROUTER AND TWO EXTENDERS) $139 AT AMAZON (ROUTER AND ONE EXTENDER) Woot has the Apple's excellent, third-gen AirPods for $144.99 Apple's third-gen AirPods, its latest pair of true wireless earbuds, are currently available at Woot for $144.99 ($34 off). This deal is just $10 shy of their best-ever price, and is accessible to everyone as opposed to some recent Woot deals that were exclusive to Amazon Prime members.   The third-gen AirPods resemble the AirPods Pro, but they lack the active noise cancellation found on the latter model. Their hard-plastic design is meant to fit most people's ears, and the included case permits wireless charging via various Qi-enable chargers as well as Apple's MagSafe technology. While you can still pick up the older, second-gen AirPods for less, the newer model offers improved sound quality and some nice quality-of-life improvements. Read our review.
