Amazon is kicking off this year's holiday shopping season with a slate of so-called "early Black Friday" or "pre-Black Friday" deals that start Nov. 22. While these specific discounts are limited to Amazon's own devices, such as the Echo speakers, Fire tablets, and Kindle e-readers, there are plenty of other bargains to be found on Amazon in the run-up to Black Friday weekend.
This stuff can get pretty overwhelming, but ZDNet is tracking the best Black Friday deals overall right here[2]. If you want to see Amazon's early deals, specifically, bookmark this page. We're starting with deals that are part of Amazon's own device sale, but we're also updating this post as time goes on with other manufacturers' markdowns from across the site.
