I was informed by Amazon that they no longer honor price drops, so in order to get the $95 price I would have to generate a return label, stick it on the box when it arrives tomorrow, send it back, wait for it to be processed, get the full amount refunded, then re-order at the lower price. So much hassle and generating so much work for the Amazon warehouse people when they could easily just issue the difference as a gift card as they had done in the past. From now on, Alexa's going to stick to giving me the weather and news.
That's quite a price drop and a lot of hassle to go through.

Amazon's changing, and in the wrong direction. Their newer low-end devices only carry 90-day warranties, so I wouldn't expect them to be generous if one should bite the dust at day 91.
