Also, how to you shop and compare items via audio only? I can't. Maybe some can though. We use our eyes to check visual clues like quality, color, functionality, ratings, comments, etc. If I was going to order an item I had previously decided was THE ONE I really wanted, then I might be more inclined to order via voice, but even then a lot can go wrong and with only audio clues I might not catch the booboos. I think voice ordering via Alexa was one of those things that at first sounded like an interesting feature, but practicality quickly revealed the issues that can be rather scary. For example, thinking you ordered one bottle of "Thousand Island Salad Dressing" and getting instead 1000 dresses.
