Verses!

I am loving my Tap. I admit being tempted to go with the Dot as a second Echo, but I'm glad I chose the Tap. One of my daily routines is dishwashing. When I only had the Echo, if I finished loading the dishes before the end of the chapter of the book Alexa was reading to me, I'd feel compelled to wait around and pace through kitchen and family room until she reached a stopping point. Now I can just pick up my Tap, grab my tablet, and go sit down in a comfortable chair and work a jigsaw puzzle until she finishes the chapter. Mobility rocks!

Cool

Amazon needs to work on syncing so one command will play the same content on multiple Echos.

Additionally, Amazon needs to increase the number of wake words for use in homes with multiple units to avoid playback on units in other rooms; or implement voice recognition.

Not a problem with the Tap, since it doesn't use a wake word and must be poked before it'll listen to you. Unless, of course, you're like me, so used to speaking to Alexa in the kitchen that when you want to Tap to pause, you say, "Alexa...."
