Amazon's Echo and Echo Dot are now on sale

Amazon's discounts for this year's Black Friday weren't exactly a secret — we've got the full list right here — but now they're actually live, meaning you can start spending your hard-earned cash. 

Highlights this year are definitely the discounts on Echo Dot, which can now be had for $39.99 (previously $49.99), and the Echo, which costs $139.99, down from $179.99. Amazon Tap is also offered at a hefty discount: $89.99 (down from $129.99). 

Kindle Paperwhite, Fire TV Stick, Fire Tablet and the Fire HD 8 have also had their prices slashed, though the savings are less dramatic.
