Just a day after Amazon rolled out new products, Google is answering with a lineup of Nest smart home devices, as both companies vie for dominance in AI-powered living.

The new devices include an indoor ($100) and outdoor Nest Cam ($150), a Nest Doorbell ($180), and a Google Home Speaker ($99). The camera-based products are available now, but the directional speaker won’t hit shelves until spring 2026.

The updated cameras bring a few notable upgrades: sharper 2K video resolution (up from 1080p), HDR recording, and wider fields of view. The Nest Cam now captures a 152-degree perspective, while the new Nest Doorbell stretches that to a 166-degree diagonal view.

Still, the real centerpiece of the event was Gemini for Home, which replaces Google Assistant across the company's smart devices. According to the company, the Google Home app has been revamped with new tabs for Home, Activity, and Automations. A standout feature is "Ask Home," pitched as a "natural command center" designed to make managing your devices more conversational.

Gemini Live will also be available on all speakers and displays, but there’s a catch: Most of the new functionality sits behind a paywall. Google Home Advanced costs $20 per month (or $200 annually) and unlocks the full suite of Gemini for Home features.

A cheaper, $10-per-month plan offers 30-day event history, intelligent alerts, and Gemini Live, but excludes the upgraded Gemini for Home tools.

Apple has added nearly a dozen products to its vintage list, the first step toward obsolescence.

The move was first spotted by the Apple-focused tech site Mac Rumors. So, what Apple products are now vintage?

In short: the iPhone 11 Pro Max and every model of the Apple Watch Series 3. The iPhone 11 Pro Max dropped in 2019 while the Series 3 debuted in 2017. Curiously, the regular iPhone 11 Pro was not deemed vintage, suggesting Apple could continue to distribute the phone to resellers for the time being.

SEE ALSO: Apple claims MagSafe stands are responsible for iPhone 17 'Scratchgate'

What does the vintage list mean? Well, for now, not much. It just signifies the product is old. Typically speaking, a product is added to the list five years after Apple stops selling it, but the company will still offer service and parts. Not much changes for another half a decade. But five years after being added to the vintage list, Apple may classify the product as obsolete, which means the company will no longer offer support for it.

So, again, being vintage is Step 1 toward being obsolete. There's a metaphor for life in there somewhere.

If you're wondering whether self-emptying would be worth it for your robot vacuum purchase, just consider your entire justification for wanting a robot vacuum cleaner in the first place. If it's to save time and effort on a chore you don't feel like doing, you just answered your own question. Dustbin maintenance definitely counts as part of that chore, and future you will be thankful that you opted for a self-emptying robot vacuum on sale this October Prime Day.

Self-emptying robot vacuums aren't nearly as tied to the size or budget constraints that they were when they were the fancy new thing in 2021. A ton of self-emptying docks are compact enough to work in a small apartment, and almost all of the best cheap robot vacuums under $300 or $400 are auto-emptying. During an Amazon sale like Prime Big Deal Days, the number of options in any price range grows. I'm already seeing a handful of vacuums beating their own prices from Prime Day in July.

If you do have floor space or extra cash to spare, the ultimate auto-empty dock to eye would be one that also auto-washes and dries the robot vac's mopping pads. This is a main feature on high-end robot vacuum and mop combos near $1,000, but can be found for as low as $399.99 on sale.

I'm tracking the best deals on self-emptying robot vacuums ahead of and throughout October Prime Day. If a self-empty dock is also a mop washing station for a robot vacuum that mops, that'll also be pointed out below.

Note: Deals with a 🔥 next to them have dropped to record-low prices.

This Roborock Qrevo model is the updated version of the Roborock Qrevo S: Mashable readers' most purchased robot vacuum during Cyber Monday 2024. Compared to the Qrevo S, the Qrevo with no S has stronger suction power (8,000 Pa versus 6,000 Pa) and meets my minimum number for sufficient pet hair pickup for one pet. Despite being the stronger model, the Qrevo on sale for October Prime Day is $60 cheaper than the weaker model.

Other advanced features squeezed into this $399.99 package include self-washing and -drying mopping pads and small obstacle avoidance. It's easily one of the best bangs for your buck that you'll find before Black Friday.

I've been saying it for months: The 3i G10+ is the best robot vacuum under $500, but most people have never heard of it. This up-and-coming model rocked in more ways than one during my testing, but its approach to automatic emptying is the most relevant here. There's no self-emptying dock here at all — rather, the 3i G10+ compacts debris within the robot vacuum body itself. You're still off duty from dealing with the dust bin for around two months or so.

3i also packed a few other high-end features into this budget vacuum: namely small obstacle avoidance and, even rarer in this price range, a livestream pet camera. And it's all contained in a compact design that can be stored under a TV stand.

Whether you’re on the hunt for a new coffee maker or are finally ready to upgrade your cookware, we’ve rounded up the best deals on kitchen appliances and gadgets you can shop right now. Of course, we’ll probably see some of these prices drop even more the closer we get to Oct. 7 (the sale's official start date), but these deals are still nothing to sneeze at and could disappear depending on stock availability.

Here are the best early Prime Big Deal Days kitchen deals to shop as of Oct. 1:

The Ninja Crispi is finally on sale. We’ve been watching the price of this little air fryer since its release last September, and Amazon’s been stingy with discounts. But right now, you can get it for $159.94, the lowest price we’ve tracked so far.

The Ninja Crispi is one of Mashable’s favorite small kitchen appliances. Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino says its compact size makes it ideal for on-the-go meals or prepping smaller portions for the week. “Plus, it actually works,” she writes.

Right now, you can get the iconic Le Creuset 5.5-quart Dutch oven for $318.24. (Note: the price does change depending on the color you choose.)

This particular model is ideal for slow-cooking stews, braising meats, or baking artisan breads, thanks to its tight-fitting lid and heat and moisture retention. It’s also dishwasher-safe, so cleanup is just as easy.

If you constantly find yourself losing important items like your wallet, keys, or bag, a Bluetooth tracker can help you find them.

We've found deals on several Bluetooth trackers that you can snag right now before Prime Day starts.

Here are some of the best deals on Bluetooth trackers to scoop up ahead of Prime Day.

Apple AirTags are among some of the easiest Bluetooth trackers to use if you have Apple devices. They use Apple's Find My functionality to use a network of Bluetooth-enabled AirTags to help you find your item, with the option to play a sound or use directions and location to find your missing belongings. This pack of four means you get plenty of trackers to drop in luggage, attach to a keychain, or even put on a pet's collar. Plus, their battery lasts up to a year, so you can just forget about it once you put the tracker where you need it.

Apple just launched a new lineup of flagship iPhones, but it's probably not done releasing new products this year. We could still get new AirTags, MacBooks, or even iPads.

To be clear, nothing is officially announced as of yet, but Apple watchers are paying close attention to a new leak that suggests something might be unveiled soon. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman spotted an unboxing video on YouTube for a new M5 iPad Pro. The video, uploaded by a Russian account called Wylsacom, features about 13 minutes of very explicit, up-close footage of a new iPad that Apple fully hasn't said anything about yet.

To be clear, we can't independently verify that this M5 iPad Pro is legit, but Gurman is a reliable source of Apple news.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. SEE ALSO: Every new Apple product known or rumored for 2025

If the product in the video is real, the new model looks physically identical to the M4 iPad Pro released a year ago. It's very thin with a single camera on the back, just like its predecessor. One thing that stands out (apart from the fact that at one point in the video the YouTuber smells the tablet, for some reason) is that it's purportedly a 256GB model with 12GB of RAM. Previously, the M4 iPad Pro with 256GB of storage only had 8GB of RAM, so that would be an upgrade. According to the YouTuber, the new Apple tablet also outperforms the old one in benchmark tests, which is not a surprise.

There are a couple of weird things to note here, as pointed out by 9to5Mac. First, Apple doesn't sell its products in Russia, so it's hard to figure out how this guy got his hands on a new, unannounced iPad. Second, this isn't the first time this has happened. The same account did the same thing with the M4 MacBook Pro last year.

Go figure.

SAVE $6: As of Oct. 1, Prime members and Prime Video subscribers can get two months of Screambox as a Prime Video add-on for just $1.99 per month. Typically $4.99 per month, that saves you $6 on thousands of hours of horror movies, TV shows, and documentaries for spooky season.

Spooky season requires spooky movies. Those are the rules. Whether you prefer a supernatural thriller, a bloody slasher, or a good ol' creature feature, the Screambox library is abundant with all the horror content your heart desires. And perfectly timed to kick off spooky season, Amazon is running a sweet deal on the streaming service.

Through the end of Prime Big Deal Days (which runs Oct. 7 and 8), Prime members can sign up for two months of Screambox for just $1.99 per month — a grand total of $3.98. Typically, a subscription costs $6.99 if you sign up for Screambox on its own or $4.99 if you sign up through Prime Video, which means you'll keep an extra $3 or $5 in your pocket for two months.

Screambox is a top streaming destination for horror fans, with a horror-exclusive library that spans cult classics, modern originals, and indie gems. It showcases uncut versions of films that are hard to find elsewhere, as well as exclusive streaming premieres. This isn't where you'll find all the most popular Hollywood blockbuster horror flicks, but more specialized genre deep cuts. It's the streaming home of horror icons Art the Clown and the Toxic Avenger, as well as cult favorite films like I Spit on Your Grave, Sleepaway Camp, and Devil Dog: Hound of Hell.

Craving a particular type of horror? The curated Screambox library gets creepily specific. There are categories for everything from "The Power of Christ Compels You" to "Movies Where Guys Get Their Junk Destroyed." If you're into obscure scares, it's the streaming service for you. And as part of Amazon's October Prime Day streaming deals, you can get spooked for just under $2 per month.

GET TWO FREE KINDLE BOOKS: As of Oct. 1, get two free books from the Amazon First Reads program as an Amazon Prime member.

Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Choose two free Amazon First Reads books Get Deal

If you're an Amazon Prime member, you likely already know it comes with plenty of perks: same-day shipping, tons of streaming content, and a Grubhub+ discounted subscription. But you might not be aware of one of the other great options you can take advantage of: Amazon First Reads. This program lets you snag a free book every month to add to your Kindle library. October is the perfect month to give it a try, as the spookiest time of the year now nets you two books instead of one.

As of Oct. 1, choose two books from the Amazon First Reads program. There are 10 different options, including romantic thriller The Fix by Mia Sheridan and sci-fi short story 3 Days, 9 Months, 27 Years by John Scalzi. There's a little something for everyone, no matter what you're into.

SEE ALSO: How to make the most of your Kindle: 8 features you need to use

Normally, you only get one book each month, but you can select two of these options. All you have to do is check out the Amazon First Reads home page and check out what's on offer. Choose the books you want to read, and find the option "Read now for free." When you confirm the books you're interested in, this button will automatically add them to your Kindle library.

Then make sure to keep coming back each month, because there's a new set of books on rotation each time, typically all pulled from a pool of new or upcoming books that are exclusive to Amazon. Plus, if you miss a set of First Reads, you can usually go back and find them by way of Kindle Unlimited if you're a member and catch up as part of your membership.

Fall is a great time to get more reading in, so make sure you take advantage of this deal and check out all the new free picks for October.

SAVE $170: The Shark Clean & Empty cordless stick vacuum is on sale at Amazon for $279.99, down from the list price of $449.99. That's a 38% discount.

Amazon's October Prime Day doesn't officially kick off until Tuesday, but that doesn't mean you can't score great deals now. Like always, Amazon sneaks in thousands of sales that are well worth shopping before the event actually starts. If you're in need of a new vacuum that's powerful enough to clean up fall's pine needles, check out today's deal.

As of Oct. 1, the Shark Clean & Empty cordless stick vacuum is just $279.99 at Amazon, marked down from the list price of $449.99. That's a 38% discount that shaves $170 off the normal price.

Shark makes some great vacuums, including robot vacuums, but the Clean & Empty comes with some fancy features that are certainly worthy of attention. Not only is it a lightweight and cordless stick vacuum, but its base also serves as a debris receptacle. Instead of emptying the dust bin after each use like a normal stick vacuum, the base sucks it away automatically. Shark mentions the capacity can handle up to 30 days' worth of debris before you'll need to empty it.

This model also uses auto-detection to adjust the suction power to match your floor type. The LED headlights are great for helping with visibility when it comes to dust bunnies under the bed and pet hair in the corner.

Before the rush of Prime Day begins, secure the Shark Clean & Empty cordless stick vacuum while it's on sale for under $280. Tracking the forest floor into the hallway won't feel like such an inconvenience with this lightweight model.

Apple's new iPhone Air is thin and elegant at the expense of camera versatility and battery life. Knowing that the battery bit could annoy some users, Apple launched a special battery pack aimed pretty much exclusively at the iPhone Air.

It's called the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery, and during the iPhone launch event in September, the company hyped it to the point where it seemed like a must-buy. But is it?

I don't like the idea of buying a super-thin, ultra-fancy iPhone Air and then lugging an external battery to cover for its somewhat lacking battery life.

On the other hand, this battery pack is beautiful in its simplicity: It sticks to the phone magnetically and, besides a USB-C charging port, has no other nooks or crevices. It's very slim itself, it only comes in a silky white finish, and it pairs with the iPhone Air beautifully. It's like a smooth, magical rock that charges your phone.

Featured Video For You Hands-On with the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max

And, despite how simple it is, this thing is pretty smart. If you plug it in while it's on an iPhone Air, it will charge itself and the phone at the same time. You can also use it to charge your AirPods, or even other phones, both wirelessly or with a USB-C cable.

That all sounds great, but... It's thin, but it only packs a 3,149mAh battery inside. Credit: Stan Schroeder / Mashable

So what's not to like? First of all, it's pricy; 99 bucks is a steep charge given that it only has a 3,149mAh battery, which is only good for charging your iPhone Air some 65 percent (Apple's number). It charges rather slowly; up to 12W. It doesn't give you any indication of the state of charge; the sole LED (beautifully hidden beneath the device's surface) will glow green when it's getting charged, and orange when its battery is getting depleted.

Then there are the design quirks. True to its name, the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery Pack only fits the iPhone Air; it literally does not fit any other iPhone. Frustratingly, while it's a MagSafe-compatible battery pack, it does not have MagSafe on its own back, meaning you can't place a wallet or any other accessories onto it. As someone who's completely switched to Apple Wallet which I carry on my phone at all times, this is a deal breaker.

The iPhone Air MagSafe Battery only fits the iPhone Air; it's too big even for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. But it can charge it...like this. Credit: Stan Schroeder / Mashable

Now, if none of the issues above apply to you, and you don't mind dishing out another $99 on top of the $999 starting price for the iPhone Air, the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery Pack is probably the best battery pack you can get for the Air, simply because it's so pretty and fits the Air so nicely.

Harry Lighton's tender, funny, and steamy debut Pillion sees Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling both in one of their best performances yet — and there's a new trailer out today.

Melling is an absolute delight as demure parking ticket enforcement officer Colin, who meets outrageously burly and handsome biker Ray (an outstanding Skarsgård) on Christmas Eve. As Colin and Ray enter a Dom/sub relationship, we join them navigating kink and boundaries — and attempting to explain them to Colin's parents.

As Siddhant Adlakha writes for Mashable in his review, "Led by a pair of fine-tuned performances from Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, the movie walks a fragile tonal tightrope with remarkable flair, resulting in one of the finest (and most crowd-pleasing) experiences at this year's Cannes Film Festival."

Written by Lighton and Adam Mars-Jones, based on the latter's novel Box Hill, Pillion promises to sweep you off your feet and into submissive mode with ongoing consent.

Pillion hits cinemas in February after showing at the BFI London Film Festival and New York Film Festival.

If Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein cannot inspire love, it will cause fear, with the first trailer for the awaited adaptation out today. As author and Gothic icon Mary Shelley wrote, "Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change," and this trailer intends to evoke just that.

Based on Shelley's immortal tale of humanity and monstrosity Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, the film sees Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi as Victor Frankenstein and his handcrafted Creature. We've already had a glimpse of the Saltburn actor in full Creature mode, and now, the trailer brings it all to life.

We also meet the rest of the star-studded Frankenstein cast, which includes Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Charles Dance, Felix Kammerer, David Bradley, Lars Mikkelsen, and Christian Convery.

Mashable entertainment editor Kristy Puchko praised del Toro's Frankenstein in her review as "a classic horror story with a romantic flair that makes it gruesome, beautiful, and deeply poignant all at once."

Frankenstein opens in select theaters Oct. 17 and hits Netflix Nov. 7.

Jimmy Kimmel's week of shows in Brooklyn is turning into a real treat for late night fans.

On Tuesday Kimmel had not one, but two other late night hosts appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, with Stephen Colbert coming on as an interview guest and Seth Meyers showing up for a cameo in the closing minutes of his monologue.

In the video above Kimmel is joined by Seth's brother Josh Meyers in his recurring character as Californian Gov. Gavin Newsom — but when Josh/Gavin starts to lambast "that little creep Seth Meyers," his big brother shows up to put a stop to it.

"Josh, what are you doing, bud?" says Meyers, appearing on stage. "You asked me to pick you up tonight because you were too scared to ride the subway alone?"

Oura has been in the news quite a bit recently, between the countersuit from Ultrahuman over patent infringement and users questioning Oura's ties to Palantir. However, the brand is back with a new Oura Ring 4 that comes not only in new colors but also a new material. Plus, the brand is putting health data in users' hands in a partnership with Quest Diagnostics.

About the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic The new Oura Ring 4 Ceramic comes in four shades: Cloud, Midnight, Petal, and Tide. Credit: Oura

Oura just dropped a new Oura Ring 4 — this time in ceramic. The new rings come in four different shades: a light teal called tide, a crisp white called cloud, a pastel pink in petal, and a dark navy in midnight. The new zirconia ceramic finish is a departure from Oura's previous titanium design, offering a more durable finish. But that's not the only development coming to Oura.

If you've ever had a problem with your Oura Ring scratching, the new ceramic design has the color native to the material, meaning it won't scratch and fade over time. With the new ceramic coating, this Oura Ring 4 is a little bit thicker than other models. The new ceramic Oura Ring 4 measures 3.51 millimeters, while the titanium models are 2.88 millimeters in thickness. The Oura Ring 4 Ceramic comes in sizes four through 15, and all colorways will be priced at $499 and are now available to purchase.

Multiple device support

If you're intrigued by the new ceramic rings but already own a titanium model, there's good news. Oura now supports multiple devices under one account. That now gives you the freedom to swap rings with your outfits. Multiple rings are supported with the standard $5.99 a month or $69.99 a year subscription; however, you still need to pay for the ring itself, which isn't cheap.

The new Oura charging case Like Oura's pedestal charger, the Oura charging case is ring size-specfic. Credit: Oura

But in addition to the new Oura Ring 4 Ceramic, a new charging case is coming, too. The charging case holds five chargers and can fully charge a ring in just 90 minutes. The charging case won't replace the pedestal charger that comes with the ring, but is an add-on meant for travel. The lid of the case keeps the ring safely inside while you're on the go. Like the pedestal charger, the case is size-specific and won't fit rings of different sizes.

In addition to the new ceramic rings, Oura is also launching Health Panels. For $99, users can get bloodwork done through Quest Diagnostics and link 50 biomarkers with their Oura data.

The test results will be ordered and reviewed by a licensed clinician and then delivered through the Oura app. Users can then ask Oura's AI advisor what their results mean and how they can use them to improve their health.

Holly Shelton, chief product officer at ŌURA, says, “By connecting results from Quest’s clinical lab testing with the continuous insights from Oura Ring, we’re moving beyond tracking to truly enabling proactive health management."

The brand already allows users to get biometric feedback through the compatible Stelo Glucose Biosensor.

Roblox players can show off their Signature Bakes in a new Great British Bake Off experience that taps into the platform's existing cake-decorating community.

Announced Wednesday, BBC Studios and Love Productions have teamed up with The Great Bake Off franchise to launch "Star Baker," an official version of the show within the kids' gaming platform.

Developed by metaverse-focused creative agency Metavision, "Star Baker" lets Roblox players compete in the cooking show's famous Bake Off tent in classic challenges such as the Signature Bake, Technical Challenge, and Showstopper rounds. Players can vote for their favourite bakes and the winner will be bestowed with the all-important Star Baker title. There are also minigames like a baking-themed obstacle course and a scavenger hunt for the opening credits' famous missing raspberry.

It's worth pointing out that Roblox players have been dabbling in Bake Off-style games for an age on the platform, with the popular Cake Off game doing pretty much exactly the same thing. Players have been baking and decorating cakes within a theme and allotted time limit, with winners voted by other players.

You can check out the "Star Baker" trailer below:

Notably, the "Star Baker" game has been customised for specific locations with Bake Off shows including the UK (The Great British Bake Off), U.S. (The Great British Baking Show), France (Le Meilleur Pâtissier), Italy (Bake Off Italia – Dolci in Forno), and Germany (Das große Backen).

As fun as the news may be for Roblox and Bake Off fans, it hasn't been a rosy time for Roblox, which faces an onslaught of lawsuits accusing the site of inadequate child safety measures (and it's not the first time). Roblox introduced age verification for teens in July as part of new safety and privacy measures.

Roblox has also recently expanded its social media empire, announcing a TikTok-like short-form video platform within Roblox, along with new AI tools for creators.

Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert traded shows on Tuesday, with Colbert appearing as a guest on Kimmel's show and vice versa.

Given that it was the first interview Kimmel has done since his show was "indefinitely suspended" and then reinstated a week later, Colbert was keen to know what happened on the day Kimmel found out. In the clip above, Kimmel breaks everything down step by step, from having to take a call from ABC in the bathroom ("the only private place to go" in his office) to his daughter telling him "I can sell my Labubus" after he broke the news to his family.

The wildest detail? After finding out about the suspension the staff had to stay back and pretend to be the audience for a performance from Howard Jones — who was playing his song "Things Can Only Get Better."

When you have a crush — maybe one you swiped right on Tinder or found on your Instagram explore page — it can feel exhilarating. But as reality sinks in, so can a smashing, bone-cracking feeling that the word "crush" itself evokes.

Now you're here, perhaps on the same device where you tried to woo your now-former crush…or at least, ogled photos of them. And while it's not a full-on end of a relationship (though Mashable also has a guide to getting over a breakup), getting over a crush can still feel crushing. Mashable reached out to relationship experts on how to successfully delete your crush from your mind, as you (hopefully) deleted their contact.

SEE ALSO: Why social media algorithms hurt after a breakup Stop romanticizing your crush

"Someone once said 'a crush is just a lack of information,' and that's the mantra I pass on to clients," said life coach and sexologist Elle Chase. "A crush can feel powerful because it's all potential, and little reality. It's built on curiosity and projection, not compatibility and facts."

Once you learn more about this person, such as their values, habits, and how they present themselves in relationships and navigate the world when no one's watching, the crush may crumble right then, Chase continued.

But if it doesn't, remember the moments you felt confused, anxious, or unsure. It's easy to forget those and cling to the few great memories you made with this person, said dating expert and host of the dating and relationship podcast Seeing Other People, Ilana Dunn. She suggests writing down the facts, either with pen to paper or in your Notes app. Ask yourself:

• How often did they actually show up?

• How consistent were they?

• Did you feel calm, or did you constantly check your phone, waiting for reassurance?

"Seeing it in black and white helps break the spell," Dunn told Mashable. "Plus, having this list is great to reference back in moments when you start spiraling."

Block, unfollow, or mute

There's no shame in using these social media tools to get this person off your mind. 

"Every time you check their Instagram or reread an old text thread, your brain treats it like fresh contact. That's why it still feels so hard to move on even if you’re 'not talking,'" Dunn said. "Mute, archive, block, or hide whatever you need to so your nervous system can finally take a breath."

And don't create burner accounts to circumvent the action you took and look at their posts anyway. It'll only drag on your infatuation with them.

Shift your attention

We're in the attention economy, after all, and everything online is competing for our focus. So why give yours to an unrequited love?

"Shifting attention to something that brings you pleasure can help you move past it," psychologist and sex and intimacy coach Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey suggested. 

"If they were your default shower thought or commuting distraction, you need a new fixation," Dunn said. Start a new hobby, like running or puzzles. Get into a new TV show (Mashable has a few suggestions) or podcast.

Distract yourself in moderation, but by all means, do so if you need to.

Grieve if you need to

Heartache sucks, even if it's over something that was short-lived. That might actually make it worse, because you didn't have enough time to see a relationship run its course. The "what ifs" can stick. Let them linger there and don't rush to move on.

"A lot of heartbreak comes from losing what could have been, not what actually was," Dunn explained. "It's okay to be sad about that version of the story, but once you process it, ask yourself honestly: do I actually want someone who made me question if they cared? Or do I want someone who makes me feel chosen without guessing?"

Don't be afraid to lean on your friends, too. Dunn said they can be the reality check you can't give yourself. They remember the anxious voice notes and screenshots. 

Just like getting over someone you never dated, getting over your crush will take time, but it is possible — even at a time when the internet apparently "lives forever." Use tech to your advantage and move to a different corner of social media, one that doesn't fill you with that "crushing" feeling.

So you got a Kindle? Welcome to the life of luxury. Amazon's e-readers are spectacular devices that put an entire library into the palm of your hand. While they aren't the only great e-readers out there (shoutout, Kobo), they are the e-readers that have the most features.

With a Kindle, a new book is always at your fingertips thanks to its built-in features and available subscriptions. If you just got a Kindle or just don't feel like you're using yours to its fullest potential. Here are eight features you should be using.

Kindle Unlimited Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Kindle Unlimited $11.99 per month. Learn More

When you first got your Kindle and were going through the setup, you were probably offered a free trial of Kindle Unlimited. This is sort of like a streaming service for books. Kindle Unlimited members can borrow up to 20 books at a time from the Kindle Unlimited library, but unlike the public library, there are no due dates.

The Kindle Unlimited catalogue is pretty great too, and features bestsellers like Fourth Wing and Careless People. Kindle Unlimited membership costs $11.99 per month, which is a phenomenal value considering you get access to hundreds of books and a typical Kindle e-book costs $14.99. Although, the value of the membership certainly depends on how many books you read in a month. Before you dive into a membership, Amazon typically offers a free trial month of Kindle Unlimited, and sometimes during big sales like Prime Day, Amazon offers several months of Kindle Unlimited for free.

Prime Reading Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Prime Reading Included in Amazon Prime membership. Learn More

If you don't want to pay the monthly membership fee to Kindle Unlimited on top of your Prime membership, then make sure you're taking advantage of Prime Reading. Included in your Prime membership is a rotating catalog of e-books and audiobooks that are totally free to members. The Prime Reading collection is a lot more limited than Kindle Unlimited's, so don't expect to find every book on your TBR.

Amazon First Reads Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon First Reads $1.99 at Amazon
Free for Prime members, otherwise each book costs $1.99. Learn More

Each month, Prime members can enjoy one free book in the Amazon First Reads lineup. At the beginning of every month, Amazon offers eight editor-selected books, and Prime members can choose one to add to their library. If you want to purchase an additional book from the First Reads selections, each book costs around $5.

Non-Prime members can also enjoy the First Reads program; however, they won't receive a free book and instead have to pay $1.99 for their book selection.

Kindle Rewards Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Kindle Rewards Earn 3 points for every $1 spent in the Kindle Store. Learn More

A program that is free to anyone, regardless of Prime membership, is Kindle Rewards. You start collecting rewards just by making your first purchase in the Kindle Store. For every $1 spent in the Kindle Store, you'll earn three points. After you collect 300 points, you'll earn a $3 reward to use on your next purchase. Plus, Amazon often offers double or triple point days, earning you more points on your purchases.

Stuff Your Kindle Day Opens in a new window Credit: Mashable photo composite; Julia Connors, Roger Stelljes, Lauren Biel Stuff Your Kindle Day Learn More

Despite being in the name, Stuff Your Kindle Day wasn't actually started by Amazon, nor is it just one day. It was founded by indie authors, looking to promote their work by offering books for free or extremely discounted.

Stuff Your Kindle Day has now inspired dozens of events with a similar premise, offering a collection of books for free for a 24-hour period. These events are geared toward indie or self-published authors, so they won't necessarily be the best time to find the books on your TBR.

These events pop up throughout the year, but Amazon has joined in on the fun and now has a year-round Stuff Your Kindle page.

Libby Opens in a new window Credit: Libby Libby Sign into Libby with your library card and access e-books through your local library. Learn More

Do you have a library card? If so, you need to be using the Libby app. If you don't have a library card, you should get one so you can use Libby. The app allows you to borrow and read books from your local library digitally. Books are available to read on smartphones, web browsers, and tablets. Plus, through the Libby app, you can send books to your Kindle with just one click.

Amazon Family Sharing

On Amazon, you can share the perks of your Prime membership with one other adult and up to four children. Once you set up your Amazon Family, you can share your Kindle library with anyone in your family. This means you don't need to purchase a book more than once.

Send to Kindle

If you don't want to buy from the Kindle Store but still want to stuff your Kindle full of books, then the Send to Kindle feature is crucial. You can scour the internet for free e-books, but to get those e-books onto your Kindle, you'll need to use Send to Kindle to upload ePUB files to your device. The system is a breeze, just drop compatible files into the window and they'll automatically upload. With Send to Kindle, you can upload PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, HTM, HTML, PNG, GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, and EPUB files to your e-reader.

It's officially October, so that can only mean one thing: Prime Big Deal Days is just days away. While the event officially runs from Oct. 7-8, Amazon has let us in on the excitement a little early, with some early deals on tablets, fitness trackers, and more. And some of the biggest discounts we're seeing are on Amazon's Fire Tablets. With so many reduced, we've put together a list of the best early deals available right now.

The Fire Max 11 is the newest and most advanced Fire tablet. It's a smooth-running device, thanks to the octa-core processor, 4 GB of memory, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. The 11-inch screen is perfect for photo editing, Netflix binging, and general scrolling on social media too. Built-in Alexa support also means you can use voice commands to check the weather, play music, or control smart home devices hands-free. It even has a 14-hour battery life, too, so you're set for all-day use. And at $139.99 (as of Oct. 1), it's at its lowest price in 2025, even beating July's Prime Day discount.
