I’m not
a very “techy” person. I don’t hate technology; rather I actually enjoy many of
the new gadgets that are out there. The ones I have problems with are those
that talk back to me and considering how much I argue with the Bluetooth lady
in my car, I’m not sure how well Alexa and I would get along. My better half
feels otherwise so that is how I found myself reading this guide about how to
use the Amazon Echo Show and hoping that I can become boss over Alexa.
Amazon
Echo Show is honestly one of the most well written user guides that I have ever
read. Mr. Andersen has managed to turn rather dry material into something that
is easy to read and, for a technology guide, rather interesting. He starts from
the beginning when you open the box of your new Amazon Echo Show and he writes
about exactly what to expect and what should be included in the box. From there
he gives very detailed instructions about how to set up the Echo. This is one
of the things I liked about this guide. It is quite short, only one hundred and
eleven pages on my tablet, but it is very detailed and organized. However, as
detailed as it is, the instructions are still very easy to understand, no
matter how technologically illiterate you may be.
There are times when Mr. Andersen
tends to veer off in a different direction that doesn’t always involve using
the Echo. For example, he writes about the relationship between Amazon Echo and
Google and YouTube. There is some correlation to how to use the Echo but it
also doesn’t seem to be a necessity to have in the guide. For me though, I
found all of the author’s tidbits quite interesting. There are lots of links
that can be accessed straight from the digital copy which is quite convenient.
There are also lots of pictures that will help the reader understand better the
instructions that they are following. Finally, Mr. Andersen provides his email
address so that if you still have any questions after reading the user guide
you can email him. This shows me how much interest he takes in his readers.
This
is a wonderful user’s guide for all ages to read and well worth buying if and
when you invest in the Echo Show.
I read this in digital format and
it worked well. The cover was bright and enticing.
