Over the weekend, Amazon significantly raised the prices of its hardware devices, jacking them up by as much as 60 percent in some cases.
The price explosion impacted Fire TVs, Echos, Kindles, and Eeros. One egregious example that’s been cited is that of the Echo Dot, one of Amazon’s cheapest smart speakers, the price of which jumped 60% overnight, from $49.99 to $79.99. Price tracking sites like CamelCamelCamel show the stark uptick, which has previously hovered much lower.
