Amazon’s earnings have not been so hot this year, compelling the company to take a $170 million writedown thanks mainly to the disastrous Fire Phone launch, according to the company’s third quarterly earnings report.

Now Amazon is down to the holiday season in order to recap its losses. In advance of Black Friday, Amazon has been offering its “Lightning Deals” all week long. Maybe you can use some of those discounts and buy a decent phone in Amazon’s electronics section.
