amazon-echo-red-promo — The Red Edition Amazon Echo smart speaker, now back in stock.
Amazon

Unless you're willing to spend extra on a woodgrain shell, the Amazon Echo smart speaker comes in your choice of gray, gray or gray (or heather gray, sandstone or charcoal if you want to get specific about it).

Now, you've got another option, because starting Thursday, the Product Red Edition Amazon Echo is back in stock, and available for preorder right now with a ship date of Dec. 5.

It isn't on sale at the moment, so you'll have to buy it at its full $100 price if you want one now. That might sting a little since you can currently get two Amazon Echo speakers for the same price as a special buy from QVC. That said, you can feel good about the fact that for each Product Red Echo sold, Amazon donates $10 to the Global Fund's efforts to combat the spread of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

The better plan if you're dead set on red? Wait until Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 22), when Amazon will list it along with the gray Echo speakers for $30 off -- just $69.
