I've owned an Amazon Echo for over two years now - here are my 19 favorite features
Amazon's family of Echo speakers are some of the most popular gifts right now, so many people are activating their Echo units for the first time.
Here's what you need to know: These speakers, which can respond to either "Alexa," "Amazon," or even "Computer" (for those "Star Trek" fans out there), are extremely quick to respond, and understand your commands far better than any other device I've used.
