Amazon's next big sale event is only a week away, but you don't need to wait until Big Deal Days on October 6th to find some stellar deals on Amazon brand devices. Whether you want a new tablet, TV, or smart home device, Amazon's early October Prime Day sale is discounting dozens of great devices across its site, and most of them don't even require a Prime membership.

I'm talking about deals like 53% off the popular Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet, or this offer that drops the newest Amazon Echo Show 5 down to just 60 bucks (a 40% discount). Keep reading for more of my top picks, and don't forget to check back later to see what's new: I'll be adding more Fire deals to this collection as they go live.

Amazon Big Deal Days kicks off on October 6th and runs through the 7th. Like I mentioned above, most of the best deals during the sale will be exclusive to Prime members. If you haven't joined yet, you can easily shop all of the best discounts for free by signing up for Amazon's 30-day free trial.
