It's the middle of the week, and you know what that means. It's time for another Dealmaster. In this week's roundup of the web's best tech deals, we have a new low on the latest Amazon Kindle, a record-matching low on Google's Pixel 7, and a pair of iPads headlining our roundup.

In our review, we found Amazon's latest Kindle e-reader and Kindle Paperwhite to be neck-and-neck competitors as two of Amazon's best low-end Kindles. They have few frills and do what they're meant to do well: help you consume books textually or audibly. It's particularly great for kids even without the Kids version perks (a case, two-year warranty, and one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+) because of its size and ability to play audiobooks.

The Pixel 7 is also discounted to match its record-low price of $399. Its top-tier camera, snappy, bloat-free software, and sleek, functional design are standout features we've come to expect of the Pixel lineup year after year. We don't feel that the 7 and 7 Pro are substantially better than the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. But this discount brings the 7 down to the 6's price, while gaining you a macro camera.

Elsewhere around the web, we have deals on charging solutions from Anker and Apple's latest AirPods Pro, as well as the latest iPad and iPad Air. We also have discounts on a few cheaper and higher-end 4K TVs. If you're in the market for a TV, be sure to check out our recent guide on the best 4K TV deals for the Super Bowl. Below is our full, curated list of this week's tech deals.
