Amazon's best-selling devices are always top-sellers during Prime Day, thanks to huge discounts that bring the handy gadgets down to must-have prices. Today's early deals include rare and sizable discounts on Fire TV Sticks, tablets, security cameras, and smart home speakers, to name a few.

I've listed the 15 best early Prime Day deals below that are worth buying now.
