Due to the high number of requests, invitations expire after seven days. However, because of the holiday week, your invitation will expire after nine days.
So, they're back to the regular 7 day valid dates now. I'm still hovering over the buy button, but I need to do it soon so that I can get arrival by Friday

As it's account-specific, I believe it might just be active for the next round of invites. That's my theory, anyway.
*sigh* This page for me still says:

Quote:
Thank you for your request.
If selected, you will receive an e-mail with an invitation to purchase in the coming weeks.

Still no invite or cart for me either. I really starting to feel left out.
I got so exited when I saw some being able to order. Than I got sadface when I went to the page. Sigh, yet wait another week just to be passed over again.

I was raised with cats and prefer them to dogs. Very low maintenance. Dogs are so needy.
He eats regular dry food. At first we soaked it in water for 8 hours and ended up making my other kitty eat that too - she noticed it was his food so she ate it so he couldn't. We figured that if she wants it that's all she gets. After she went back to the dry, we saw mr. toothless eat some and was ok. He doesn't chew it, just swallows.

You haven't met my supervisor.

Me too! Music quality is excellent, success with commands/requests is about 99%. Instant weather and news is great. Surprisingly, I've come to depend on Alexa's assistance with the shopping and to-do lists, which appear immediately on my phone and are always with me. Very handy! :-)

I haven't tried any of that other stuff yet. I've only done music so far.

Alright fellow Echoites, we need a thread to post reviews, problems, suggestions, etc in. But which forum do we use for the Echo? I'm inclined to use Amazon Kindle, since it's an Amazon product. But which part? - main board? Kindle Fire? or create a new sub-forum called Amazon Echo?

It's only a matter of time before Amazon adds audiobook functionality to the software or someone figures out some workarounds. That would justify its presence on a "reading forum". Already, we get dramatized audio productions of books from the BBC via TuneIn Radio.

Suggestions?

I thought I was passed over also, but I had an invite arrived in my email just a few minutes ago, maybe they are starting a new round? Looking forward to it.

Tubemonkey,
I would think kindle forum/echo would be a good place to put it.

I was passed over yet again. I'm looking into the Ivee Sleek now; I can't bring myself to pay the obscene prices on eBay for an Echo.
