Given that it's brand new, Amazon could easily have left it at $50, or even just lopped $10 off while selling last year's model for the bigger discount. (As it happens, the second-gen Dot will be $4 less!) But just $24 for the smart speaker with the cloth suit and bigger, better sound? Yes, please. And don't expect to see this deal again until Prime Day 2019.
