I'd love to see more apps added -- Audible, OverDrive, Scribd, LibriVox, Pandora, Live365, Spotify, Stitcher, Slacker, etc.
It's a beautiful design, flawed by a power cord. I bet Echo II gets a rechargeable battery and a matching charging station. Then it would look great on a coffee table or dining room table.

I want to see text to speech and have it read any kindle book in your library. If Fire tablet can do text to speech I don't see why Echo can't. The voice on Echo is really good too. Ivona was a big improvement over the former text to speech Amazon had, but in Echo, its another step up. Very nice work.
I'd like one without the power cord and I need another so I can have one up and downstairs. I was trying to play Prime music on my tablet on a different level of my house and I kept wanting to speak to it. Making the request to Alexis feels much more natural, where on my tablet, I had to hunt and search for what I wanted.
Amazon has a winner with this. I'm finding it far more natural to use then Siri, which I forget to use half the time.
