UPDATE: It appears that many of Amazon's Prime Day sales sold out very quickly, leaving people with little that they actually wanted. Many took to Twitter to vent about it and crack jokes.

Original Story:
Amazon is no longer a teenager. The retail giant is celebrating its 20th anniversary Wednesday with a day full of discounts. The so-called Prime Day deals are open to members of Amazon's $99 per year Prime service, but you can sign up now (with a 30-day free trial) to take advantage of what Amazon has on sale.

For a quick rundown of what you get with Amazon Prime, see our explainer. But check out some of the deals you can expect below, and keep tabs on new deals throughout the day via our sister site, TechBargains.com. Like it does on Black Friday, Amazon will be putting things on sale for short periods of time throughout the day, so check in periodically for new discounts.

Kindle Deals
Not surprisingly, Amazon's Kindle lineup is getting a discount for Prime Day. Snag the basic 6-inch Kindle, which features a touch screen and Wi-Fi, for $49 (down from $79). See PCMag's review.

The 8GB 7-inch Fire HD tablet with Wi-Fi, meanwhile, is now just $79 (down from $139), while the third-gen, 16GB 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX with Wi-Fi is $179 (down from $199). See PCMag's review of the Fire HD 7 and Kindle Fire HDX.

For the little ones, the 7-inch Fire HD Kids Edition (8GB, Wi-Fi) is $129, down from $189. For more, check out The Top Tablets for Your Kids.

As part of Prime Day, Amazon is offering 15 percent off when you buy two Kindle accessories, like covers or screen protectors.

My Experience

I started out covering tech policy in DC for The National Journal, where my beat included state-level tech news and all the congressional hearings and FCC meetings I could handle. I later covered Wall Street trading tech before switching gears to consumer tech. I now lead PCMag's news coverage.

My Areas of Expertise

Getting my start in DC means I still have a soft spot for tech policy; Congressional hearings can sometimes be as entertaining as a Bravo reality show, for better or worse. But PCMag is all about the technology we use every day, as well as keeping an eye out for the trends that will shape the industry in the years ahead (or flop on arrival). I've covered the rise of social media, the iOS vs. Android wars, the cord-cutting revolution that's now left us with hefty streaming bills, and the effort to stuff artificial intelligence into every product you could imagine. This job has taken me to CES in Vegas (one too many times), IFA in Berlin, and MWC in Barcelona. I also drove a Tesla 1,000 miles out west as part of our Best Mobile Networks project. Of late, my focus is on our hard-working team of reporters at PCMag, guiding and editing their robust coverage.
