Tubemonkey -- I support your ideas of getting a new forum/sub-forum started for the Echo. I hope you get it going soon.

I only support a new subforum if Amazon lets me buy one.

I too would like to see a forum for Echo. Had mine since Saturday and love it.

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?
.
Will the forum be called "For the privileged few"? I want my invite!

It'd be nice to have a new subforum titled "Amazon Echo" under the umbrella of the existing Amazon Kindle forum. I'd like to see this thread moved there and a separate "Echo Tips and Tricks" thread started.

That would be my choice; and where I was leaning. If it had built-in audiobook functionality, then I'd suggest placing it in the audiobook forum; but it doesn't (...yet).

Thanks; I intended to get them involved. My first aim was to get a sense from others as to which forum and which part of it to place the Echo in.

I think the Kindle forum is a much better choice than the audio book forum even if it did do audio books. It can do much more than just audio books.

It certainly can do more; but this is a book forum and to justify its existence on this board, it needs to function as a book device of some sort. Through TuneIn Radio, we can get some audiobooks with a bit of searching and audio dramas from BBC Radio. It's definitely not as intuitive as an Audible app would be; but it's doable.

It's still a really cool cylinder. I'm listening to some British rock and learned that London is located in England. Cylinder sure is smart!
