Amazon has committed to putting more than 1 million products on sale at a discount during the buying bonanza, including most of its own Echo, Kindle, and Fire devices. The company, which doesn’t release a full list of the deals, as many go live at different times across the event, has already given a ton of hints. Expect discounts on all Amazon house brands, a wide range of TVs, headphones, laptops, smart-home gadgets, furniture, home goods, toys, games, and just about everything else Amazon sells.

No! Amazon has Prime Day deals in 17 countries, including the UK, Germany, France, China, Mexico, Australia, and India, where Prime subscriptions are growing faster than in any other country.
Yep. It seems that Amazon has done what no other retailer before it could: It’s created a holiday entirely devoted to buying things on its own site. And everyone else in retail is jumping on the bandwagon, lest consumers forget who they are during the next day or so. Make sure to check around the web, because retailers’ counter-sales could potentially even be more enticing than what Amazon has on offer.
