Helpful user guide
The 2016 user guide was extremely helpful in mastering different voice commands with Alexea and Echo. Recommend reading to utilize all the many different features.

A good bit of information, but...
I just ordered The Amazon Echo and wanted to learn more about it before it arrives, I'm quite excited about it. This guide gives very good information and I will use it for any questions I may have upon set up. However the typos, on the very first page to start, bothered me. Not enough to stop reading but really, if you are going to write a guide, book or whatever, read what you wrote out loud. Maybe Alexa could help you with that.
I love the fact that people can self-publish on Amazon and I have read a lot of great self-published authors books, The Martian for one. Please, please edit your work.

Suspicion
A good intro. I suspect that some of the sample questions were not vetted. For instance, how many cups in a kilogram? Kilogram is a measure of weight and cups is a measure of volume. How many syllables does hippopotamus have? Alexa could not count the syllables for any word I gave her. These are just two examples.

Limited vocabulary, quirky questions.
Whilst I enjoyed most of the book I do believe he needs to expand his vocabulary. He does a great job of explaining the echo device, I was somewhat disappointed at the number of pages that where just example questions to ask Alexa. Including: What day of the year will Thanksgiving be on this year? Isn't it always on a Thursday? Funny.

Great guide
There were some uses that I learned and will enjoy. Linking my prime music via Bluetooth to Echo will be wonderful. I am looking forward to other enhancements in the future.

Covers the essentials
Was a great primer for me coming from the Apple ecosystem. Easy to understand and put into action. I would certainly recommend having the book in your hands and the Echo next to you as you work through the chapters.

It's okay
Just like all the others. The content is good. However,there is nothing groundbreaking in it that makes this book better than any of the others.

Unraveling the mystery of Alexa
This is a very useful tool to unraveling Alexa.
I'm still trying to get the most out of Alexa but I will and so will you.
And I like the female voice

Pretty basic guide
Pretty straight forward on what the device can do and how to make it happen. Helpful tips and trick you won't have to learn via trial and error.

This was a helpful guide. I was surprised though that I had to pay for a user guide. Most products come with them free
