SEE ALSO:Amazon announces date for next Prime Day: Here's everything you need to know about Prime Big Deal DaysIt's been a big week for Amazon: In addition to the new Amazon devices, the tech and retail giant announced Monday that it will be kicking off the holidays early with a second Prime Day sale from Oct. 10 through 11 (renamed "Prime Big Deal Days" from last year's "Prime Early Access Sale").
