  "account": "Amazon has announced price increases for a variety of its hardware products, according to a report by Fortune. The price hikes affect several of the company's first-party devices, including Echo smart speakers, Kindle ereaders, Fire TV sticks, and eero wireless mesh routers. The increases range from $30 for some Echo devices to $40 for certain Kindle models. Fire TV stick and eero products have also seen a price bump. However, Amazon's Ring products appear to be exempt from the recent price increases. The company's hardware lineup is experiencing price hikes alongside other industries grappling with the ongoing RAM crisis.",
