It's definitely too soon for an ereader, unless Amazon goes crazy and introduces another size. The Basic and Oasis were both upgraded this year and the Paperwhite is not even a year-old yet.

I could see an upgrade on the 2-yo Fire HD 10, but not the other two. The Fire 7 was upgraded this year and the HD 8 was upgraded last year.

The Echo 2 is 2-yo now, so an upgrade here isn't unreasonable. The Plus 2 and the Dot 3 were both upgraded last year, so don't expect anything there.

I also wouldn't expect any upgrades for the Echo Shows, since the Show 5 is brand new this year and the Show 10 is only a year-old.

The Echo Spot on the other hand is gong on 2-yo and no longer has a viable role in the lineup ever since the Show 5 was introduced this year. I see Amazon phasing the Spot out and pushing the Show 5 in it's place.

I never followed Fire TV (I use Roku), so I have nothing to say about it at this time.

As others have pointed out, the field is wide open for additional Alexa devices for our smart homes, smart cars, smart offices, smart handhelds, etc.
