As packages stream out of warehouses, Amazon has released some figures for Prime Day, as they do every year after the big sales event. While last year’s big achievement was simply surpassing the previous year’s Prime Day in sales, this year’s Prime Day surpassed even last Black Friday and Cyber Monday in sales, making yesterday the biggest sales day ever in Amazon history.
Last Prime Day, the best-selling item was the Amazon Fire TV Stick for $24.99 (37% off), but since Fire TV device’s didn’t go on sale for Prime Day this year in the US, the Amazon Echo Dot at $34.99 (30% off) was the best-selling product of the day across Amazon globally. However, the Fire TV line didn’t stay completely out of the limelight, since the Element 55″ Fire TV Edition television at $399.99 (38% off) was the best-selling TV deal in Amazon history, even though it sold out in under 4 hours.

If you go to the amazon.com/alexadeals page, you can still get PrimeDay pricing on the black Dot, the Tap, and the Amazon Kids Fire tablet bundle.
“Excellent” – NSA
My sister told me about being at a friend’s house where they simply asked ‘alexa’ for weather or to play music. She was wondering what I thought. I asked, “Do you really want Jeff Bezos to hear EVERYTHING said in your home? She didn’t get one. Of course, I bought an Echo and a Dot. Now have another Dot and a Show. It’s been a long time since I cared what people think never mind caring if they overhear me.
