Interact with Alexa anywhere in your home with the Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device. The compact size is a perfect fit in any room, and the built-in speaker lets you set an alarm or stream music. The Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device plugs into your home stereo speakers or connects wirelessly through Bluetooth.

Good product but not great yet!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I owned couples Fire TV from Amazon. Compare to Fire TV model 2016, it is a step back! I really do not like this model 2017.
CONS:
- No internet port (wired). If you want have internet port, you have to pay extra for a power adapter w/ internet port (?) which used to built-in in 2016 model.
- Hanging device in the back of your TV (like Google ultra Chromecast)! It may easy damage HDMI port of your TV
PROS:
- Nice picture in HD mode
- AC wireless
but just the same old models & other media stream devices.
If you do have any media stream yet, get one for yourself.
If you have an old one, do not buy this one, choose model 2016 instead!

All you have to do is ask.Echo is also an expertly tuned speaker that can fill any room with immersive sound.

Hi I have a Fire HD8 ~ and love it but I wonder if I can some how archive the books I have on it? To find the books I haven't read I have to go through all of them... Is there another way to store them so they don't take up so much room on it?. Thanks!

You could add a MicroSD card to your tablet (32 or 64 GB makes by Samsung/Sandisk/ or Patriot) cost $15-$40/ea)
1) Then move all your ebooks (which have read) to this MicroSD, free internal storage space of your tablet
or:
2) Connect your table to a PC (desktop/laptop) with USB cable provided, then select and move all read ebooks to your computer (which have more storage than your tablet)
Hope it help!

How is the iPhone secured in the wallet?

It just snap-on the iPhone holder side of wallet (other side for other credit cards).
It hold the phone very firm & secure.

Purchased Roku premier, added the NBC SPorts station... tonight.. had issues with internet... removed station , thought my connection cause the issue. So I added the NBC sports back, when I attempt to look at a game, I receive an error not authorized,

NBC Sports requires your have an additional subscription from TV provider (AT&T, Comcast, ...), If you do NOT have TV package, then you only can watch "Highlight" section on NBC Sports Apps, not "Live" or "Replay" section.
There are many different Roku Apps can provide watch "Free" TV & Sports (such as Pluto TV, Redbull,, ...) You need play around to find the ones suite for you.
Other solutions are:
- Adding a HD antenna like Mohu or Clearstream Direct TV to watch Live TV from ABC, CBS, NBC,...
- Adding streaming sports through cheaper subscription $$$ online such as "SlingTV", or "DirecttvNow". These apps are available in Roku.

Can all apps listed in Google Play Store be downloaded?

If an app on Google Play Store is Chromecast compatible, can it be added to the Nexus player in addition to the preloaded apps?
No. Nexus player only can be loaded and play apps with high quality video. Most chromecast compatible apps can play in Nexus player, but some content such as WatchESPN can not preloaded in Nexus.
