Hi,
I wonder if Amazon will bring the voice assistant to other devices as they have
with the Kindle app? The assistant (Alexa) sounds impressive, but I’ve no use
for the hardware particularly as it’s mains powered.
Cheers,
Ed

hi there i am sure there's some really good podcsts about it on blind
bargains it sounds a very good device and apparently they have just updated
it so it can do even more. one of the things i think it will do is actually
read kindle books with speech of course. very very dificult with all this i
have just been reading about the braille note touch fantastic idea but for me
Ģ3000 is rather high and also with four point 2 of android will the web views
work how much real access will you have to the web. slightly drifting off
topic hear but from what i have heard i do like the idea of the el braille
running on windows 10 but again what will the price be.
there are some very very interesting podcasts on blind bargains and cool
blind tech all about what was at csun and one thing is braille devices should
be getting cheaper very soon. one thing also that brian hartgen said about is
the kindle fire and there's a tablet for 50 dollars it's all little ehddv
interesting stuff. which way to go with it

Hi Mary
Rumour certainly has it that the Echo will be coming to the UK, but I can't
find any information about it on the Amazon website, and just get info about
it from America if I Google. Fingers crossed it comes to our shores!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Shame, just thought it would be good listening to Audible and Kindle books
when doing housework. Oh well, will just have to wait.

I don't think it is here yet, which is a pity as I would like to see one!
