Okay, so I grabbed this guide hoping it would unlock all the secrets of my Echo. Spoiler: it didn't.

The book is decent for absolute beginners - like 'how to plug it in' level basic. But if you've already figured out how to ask Alexa for the weather, you won't find much new here.

I was really hoping for some pro tips or hidden commands. Instead, it reads like the quick start pamphlet that came in the box (but longer).

The writing could use some polish too. There were parts that felt like they were translated through Google a few times.

That said, if you're completely tech-challenged and need hand-holding, this might work for you. For everyone else? Save your money and just Google your questions.
